Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.

Re: Dewsbury Away : Thu Apr 09, 2015 10:09 am  
I still think 13 is up for grabs. Our pre-season options were meant to be Chev, Addy & Petersen. We've seen 2 of them so far and I would have Addy ahead of Chev at 13. Addy can be a lot more creative than the others. It depends what sort of mix is needed. If teams can start to pressurise Gaskell then that extra creativity could be significant.

The other option would seem to be 3x 2nd row men covering 2nd row & LF - Any mix of Walshaw, Pitts, Ferguson, Olbi, Walker. These days it all seems fairly interchangeable.

A different option would be I think Purts would make a great 13, but he's doing too good a job at centre at present to move him about. He's impressed me as captain as well over the last few games.

Re: Dewsbury Away : Thu Apr 09, 2015 10:16 am  
At the moment the only plays we've got apart simple drives are O'brien's scoot, or Siejka's pass to Gaskell. Unless we have a bit of something at the back of the scrum (which Siejka isn't going to give us, although I'm not knocking the lad) I think we're predicable and relatively easy to marshall. Ferguson and Walshaw need a pass on the edge. Where's it coming from?

Pitts has shown a good offload so far but I see what you mean.

My reservation is that Addy doesn't provide enough creativity to outweigh his lack of size taking the ball up or his shoulder grabbing defence.

I do think he's in front of Chev tho.

I'd probably have some of the Scholarship lads in front of Chev.

For a back rower, his defence is terrible. Drops off so many tackles.

I really like Pitts and wouldn't complain were he at 13 but I think Addy's carry is pretty decent and his workrate is excellent, tons of metres, carries tackles.

His defence has always been the main concern but I've given him the benefit of the doubt as he's played in some truly embarrassing teams, often with 1 and rarely, if ever with 4 props.

Except we've scored 278 points, only Leigh have scored more and no other team has reached the 200 mark. So despite hardly being the ultimate machine, we can't be that easy to predict/marshall

I do agree we could be a lot better, Siejka's light remains buried deep under his bushel. Maybe it's not much of a light. I'm praying it's just an oversized bushel.

Given that Harry is what he is ( and Lowes seems to like his defence) what would you do? A bit more craft and another option at 13, or a bit more size, physicality from Pitts/Ferguson?
