| Quote: Mr. Zucchini Head "I think if we are being realistic this is probably a transitional year. Hodgson is still learning about the squad and indeed about being a coach. We have made improvements in some areas without a doubt. I just want to see us keep making those little improvements. If we make the playoffs then you never know but realistically next year and the year after are what we are aiming for, when Hodgson has brought in the players he wants and moulded the side to his vision. This squad isn't far away, but there are definitely a few pieces of the jigsaw that we still need to find.
The cup should be the main focus now imo because we just need 2 big performances and it's ours, and then it would be a decent season whatever happens in the league.'"
Without a doubt, this team is improving everyone can see that. Far from where we want to be but a million miles from the team we were. You only have to look at the attitude to defending when the game was gone, Connor tackle and Fonuas. That doesn't happen in a team with no effort, pride or respect.
There is no need for massive wholesale changes or calling for players to be dropped, it's being a tough month but we have some favourable fixtures on the horizon let's build momentum and confidence and if we get into the play offs then who knows.
Let's get behind them as at no point this season have I thought they are not trying for us.

Yeah definitely. Even last night I felt we were lacking in intensity, but I never felt like we weren't trying or didn't care. We just looked a bit sluggish and not quite up for it. It happens sometimes. In elite sport even being off by just a few percent can look terrible, and I think that was the case last night.
Main thing for me is cutting out these unforced errors. If we complete our sets and kick well then we give ourselves a chance

| I think that's the most frustrating thing for us all the unforced errors and brain farts, after starting the season brightly I thought we d seen the back end of them. I agree the applications been brilliant obviously every teams allowed an off day as long as it doesn't become regular.
Still intrigued as to what signings Hodgson will make. Don't think we need major surgery but 3 strong signings would add some much needed depth and freshen us up. Hoping the Fijian lad Mitchi rips it up at Bradford.

Kelly was playing with an injury in that game for HKR and should never have played

But he did.
On his day Kelly was great but had his fair share of very bad games.

| Quote: Rocknrolla69er "Just wondering about individual performances.
Bowdens metres made simply wasn't good enough 5 carries for 19 metres is terrible. Average of under 4 metres a carry, is he even running onto the ball?
Does anyone have Fash's metres made? Yes the lad tackles all day but we need metres made from our props, I'm not clapping my hands for him just because he can tackle.
Coupled with some weak metres made performances , the errors savaged us, who in the teams making all our errors or penaltys against?
Interesting Hodgson said we didn't muscle up or want to compete physically, I saw Satae and Sao ripping in as well as Mau at times, so who isn't competing physically?
If we want to reach the top, it's this accountability that needs to happen and improve upon, be that players leaving the club , with better replacements coming in so be it.'"
One of the main things killing us is indiscipline.
Completion rates way below 50%,continually infringinging in the ruck and lack of ability to catch and pass.
A lot of this is due to fatigue having to do too much tackling but its self inflicted and is getting worse every game since we played Salford.
The other problem we have is a total lack of impact from any of the bench players.
I realise we are short on numbers but surely when you have an impact player like Faraimo sitting around there must be a place for him but to prefer Scott or Johnstone seems strange unless he is leaving at the end of the season and Hodgson would rather use a contracted player.
Trying to utilise two nines is a waste when the replacement offers nothing to change the game.
The thinking for the bench next week needs a rethink so that we have something off the bench to give Saints something to think about.
I would even chance starting Bowden with Sao so that we can bring Big Chris on to give us some impact.
There has to be a place for Faraimo.For me he comes in for Fonua with Fonua on the bench for Johnstone

| We need to find ourselves a top notch no9 (think we'll have to look overseas), Danny has been wonderful but it's time to move on. Johnstone isn't the answer imo. Coupled with that another quality prop wouldn't go a miss either. Much to ask I know, but without them we are going nowhere.

I’m watching the pies getting filled in by the French, there is some really boring rugby, and as you say commentating is also uninspiring, now we have one word pause, finish next word Wells delivering early sleeping sickness.
Beautiful weather here EY hope your all ok.

Wigan have only lost once this season of course. Hope Adrian Lam shows a bit more humility if they suffer a 2nd defeat.
