enjoyed todays game, first half was much better than the second. the wind/rain /cold made it very difficult for both players and fans. I thought one or two players stood out today but quite a few were pretty average, On the whole tho, this was the first time we played as a group/team and we need a few games to gel. def,light up front but I think we have the makings of a good team. looking forward to next week.

I thought Jack Miller was good again.
I don't think him and Harris are a proper pair at halfback.
Too similar for a start.

As I have said before a taller player suits stand-off better for me.
Cooke, Holroyd etc

Still early days yet ...

There were times in that game that I wondered whether ruby is worth watching anymore.
London did everything but undress our players at the tackle and then once or twice nearly did that.
Terrible to watch and intended to stop Donny getting ANY momentum.

And the ref did exactly as the crowd did ... he just watched.
Nearly walked to be honest ..
It's beyond a joke!

ruby what she got to do with it , did she take her love to town ?

Sorry couldn't resist .

I like it ....

Yes, I understand the captaincy has been given to Boyle.

Ridiculous decision. That isn’t a personal dig at Boyle. But does loyalty stand for nothing?

I agree exactly

I can understand RH looking at other options for the captaincy.

He will be looking to put his stamp on what is in effect his team , not one inherited from predecessors and one who's performances he will judged on.

I'll just paste what I have written elsewhere:

As a supporter I value loyalty above all other qualities in a player. Kyle has shown that and therefore sets a good example as a genuine club man. His attitude to playing is never in doubt.

I imagine Boyle can be a good captain, he is experienced and knows the game, but he hasn't played a game for the club yet. This could turn a few against him before a ball is even kicked.

Incidentally I believe 2019 could be Kes's testimonial year

Don’t for a second believe that to be the case. Without a doubt kesik would be the starting 9. If not he wouldn’t have been given the 9 shirt.

A contentious decision or the correct one, hard to call. I get the loyalty aspect and all things Donny including testimonials but I just want us to kick on and get promoted. If some folk/players want to make an issue about it fair do's but its the Coaches job to pick who he thinks is right. Its his sword to fall on.

Not a case of making an issue I don’t think merely an observation? Didn’t realise there was players making N issue out of it either I must have missed that.

New coach new ideas that's what we all wanted, we have been calling for a new identity and a fresh approach to things and appointing an experienced guy with plenty of super league surely makes sense, I like kes though and still think he will be vocal and a leader when on the pitch so I don't think an armband will change his approach.
