Ben Cockayne manages to cope with the exact same "raw deal" from the referees

Is this why his tackling is so poor at the moment? I've been specifically watching him during our defensive sets and he looks uninterested most of the time and tends to grab at the man rather than putting his shoulder in.

there is a difference between no confidence and no brain cells

I can only call it as I know it to be, He will come good again but I am awaiting the arrival of the "get rid" train for Hame tho on here

Already left the platform.

no that was the early express for the short sighted

Even before the talk from silverwood he wasn't doing a lot for me , he had a great game against saints and since then hasn't done alot

Thought he had one of his better games against Catalans last week to be honest.He was running the ball in a lot harder than he has previously.
Like EXPRO has said, he his a marked man with the referee's and this has knocked his confidence which is a real shame as the guy has got great potential.

A very vaild point, I have noticed whenever he comes on the refs immediately start talking to him, can't help with his agressive game thinking he is being watched more so than others.

It was noticeable that he started playing better the moment he went to prop. Instead of getting the ball stood still out wide he can play nice and simple and just charge onto the ball.

Surely agar can escalate this to cummings if it's true

Not Agar but James Rule and to take it straight to the RFL. If what EXPRO said is true then this just isn't on and will continue to have a huge negative phycological affect on him & his commitment in all aspects of his game. It could not only cost us matches but he could get injured if half hearted in a tackle.

Might just take the Derby match to get him up for it again, that is if the ref actually protects the player and lets him play. I would actually give him more game time, tell him he is getting it and make him work harder.

I miss the old guy, bit of a loose cannon but did make the other team think and watch out for him.

Shouldnt our coaches be working over time with him to get his confidence back and to work on his technique then? The refs watching him is one thing, penalising him is another and he obviously has problems in that area that mean he needs to be watched.
