Anyone at halfback last season would have looked good compared to what we had there .

If that the case then I fail to see what the positives are, Lovodua has been awful so far this season (though he's not alone there) and has offered nothing whatsoever at 6. The same goes for Evans who's another that just is not cutting it nor has he really done so since he arrived yet we have a young lad in Brown who shows more effort and determination and is far more likely to make the hard yards than Evans yet seems to be constantly over looked.

Getting fed up of hearing or seeing articles from the usual suspects about how they are buying in to the systems etc when the time for talking is well past its sell by date and the time for action is well overdue.

Still rewarding the same old failures and seemingly little to no accountability

Brown got hooked last week early and didn't return. Have a feeling TS isn't keen on him as he was left out the first 2 games due to TS not been happy with him in training.

Agree on the comments wonder if Mac on the bench and TS will bring him on move Litten to 1, Hoy to 6 if not working

Brown would be in my 17 but TBH looks more like an impact player when teams are getting tired. Gets easily manhandled when teams are fresh.

Team is
Hoy
Litten
Carlos
Sutcliffe
Swift
Lover
Clifford
Satae
Mint
Tag
Dre
Griffin
Fash
Subs
Evans
Lane
Cator
Dwyer

Agreed.

He’s not only done absolutely nothing but he looks totally lost in defence. He is the major reason we concede so many tries on that side.

Obviously Tony Smith knows far more about rugby league than me but I just can’t understand the benefits of playing him there.

Not that bad a team on paper. Hopefully it will limit the damage to less than 40 points.

Looks another light bench

I would have liked another prop.

seems to be the same with Mitch.Fit again but playing in the reserves.
Maybe playing for the Army upset Tony
Much better wing option than Litten or McIntosh and would certainly help our defence on that edge

I agree with you.Too many small forwards in our squad
They are dwarfed by many S/L threequarters

No problem Tony has a plan

I would completely agree with your comments about Mitch over McIntosh, who looks scared to death and should be hooked, for his own sake to regain some confidence. No doubt there is a player in there , but we haven't got the version of the one he was at Huddersfield, so maybe a run in the reserves , where he should excel would help him , more than being in a side that is blatantly in disarray and not a unit, working together. I do like Litten though, if he carries on his upward trajectory, there is a classy fullback there and I would personally move Hoy to 6 to partner Clifford, until Truman is fit, with Litten taking on the fullback role, rather than as a makeshift winger.
Hoy is a player I don't think is enjoying his UK venture and I am doubtful that'll he'll be with us for the entire length of his contact. One visit to Australia in the off season, if he stays that long, will probably be enough to convince him not to return, which is a shame because he is a good player.
We'll see against Warrington, who is and isn't being retained, and I just hope they can show some pride in the shirt and appreciate the fans who endure far too many maulings.
I think it could go two ways, an absolute hammering or a gutsy 12-16 point loss, I just don't see a win in that side against a top team.

What are you basing this on?

Going by his and his partner's SM they seem to be having a great time, recent results notwithstanding.
