Absolutely right and has been a problem for seasons now. Not getting Crocker was a hammer blow we need more forwards who wont accept being owned as the norm.

[quote="dave m":36nw6ut6]Briscoe couldn't get into Wigans Team because of Radlinski even though Radlinski was playing crap at the time still better than old bent nose.[/quote:36nw6ut6] [quote="redtillimdead":36nw6ut6]Oh and as for Briscoe,if he was that fab,why did Wigan see fit to let him leave?[/quote:36nw6ut6]:8903.gif



Quote: Jake the Peg "I actually thought we were much better at clearing our line tonight'"


As we were against Leeds. Tony and Raynor are two of the best in the league (probably [ithe[/i best in Raynor's case) in this area and it's something we struggled with massively whilst they were out.

Until we address the issues with our forwards we will continue to struggle, I agree Lauaki, Fitz & Manu will make a difference but we need another massive prop really badly. As for clearing our line, I think a lot of that's due tp Raynor & Tony, it's certainly not done to our forwards we're far too light.

No aggression mixed with different players being under used or over used. Lauaki is missed as is Crocker. Moa brings more aggression than any of them.

Thought our pack did well, we had as much territory as Saints but dont have the class to make it count.

I thought when Saints went down the middle we handled them well, but when they throw the ball out wide, they looked so dangerous.

I thought our pack were poor last night. Only Kingy when he came on ruffled a few feathers. I agree with a previous poster about the interchanges. Give them shorter spells so they can be a bit more in. Thought Radford was poor last night.

Kingy played with some fire and Maloney(WHEN HE GETS ON THE FIELD MR AGAR) always rattles some cages.

Never mind the bollox,bring on the rugby::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_41353.jpg



Quote: UllFC "your right there's no aggression

but having one prop (this week Maloney) sat on the bench all night hardly helps matters.

wouldn't renew Thackrays contract, I think he's half the player he was in 2005, when teams would fear his arrival on the pitch.'"


and how much time did maloney get on the pitch??as for thackray,i'd give him another year,as he and tickle are the only one's doing it at the mo.dowes,kingy,radders to me should be on borrowed time

dont think our pack did too bad but its hard to gain yardage when its one man all the time. saints and other teams gain more by expanding play to the second rowers/centres and getting the ball away from the ruck area. allows quicker rugby,quicker play the balls and more yardage. simple but effective sets work well like this.

Yup. They also use dummy runners so that 4 tacklers arent just stood there waiting for the runner.

THANK YOU Mr. PEARSON, FOR RIDDING US OF FCKWIT FUBAR, CEO TOOL AND THE STINKING UNCLE KATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHY DON'T THE DOBBINS PLAY IN GREEN SHIRT, GREEN SHORTS AND GREEN SOCKS IN ORDER TO EXPRESS THEIR INFINITE ENVY OF EVERYTHING BLACK AND WHITE??:icons42da_files/5424-2890lipst1ck_d0rk-msnicons.jpg



When some fans say "our pack did ok", I think what they mean is "our pack worked hard" which is all most of them are capable of. We have a pack full of forwards who, on the whole, are not big enough, not aggressive enough and not good enough.

Until we can get rid of the bulk of these very ordinary forwards like Cusack, Dowes, Radford, King, nothing is going to change.

The signings we are making for next season are certainly promising but they will not be enough on their own. Our pack (along with not really having a SH) is the single biggest example of mediocrity that currently stops us from competing with the best.

Should we really be happy to keep the score down and show some effort when Saints come to the KC ?? Is that how far the bar has been lowered at our club ???

I think there was a thread earlier in the season on the VT saying our pack was the best in the league, how times have changed. Our pack lacks speed and mobility.

It's ironic that we base our game on playing it down the middle, yet we have a modest workmanlike pack.
It was men against boys last night.

Gareth Carvell has gone, and we haven't got an adequate replacement. He was our main go forward guy imo.

Just as Briscoe was our rock, we never replaced him, and just as Cooke was the playmaker we never replaced him.

We will struggle to reach the heights we have seen in recent years unless we strengthen instead of taking steps back.
