Got to say better than I expected last night. Solid effort

Young lads got a bit of a lesson in the left side, but tried hard. As a team needed to step up Defensively when 10-0 up but failed miserably.

Despite the best efforts, it doesn't hide the fact that it will almost certainly be 1 win in 7 next week.

Concentration now should be ensuring we stay in the 8, not worrying about Top 4 because we're nowhere near it

Given recent form to stay with 12 of Wigan was a good overall effort. TS had better sharpen his act for next week as 1 in 7 will not be good news for the club and he and Agar will be under scrutiny. Where were the forwards last night they were still not bossing the middle. Much better in the halves, don't get the Ormsby Penny switch? Like the look of King and Currie was much improved as was Bridge, Westwood and Ratch their usual good selves.

Just watched the game back on Sky.

Bridge looked back to his best in his correct position. Myler also had a strong game (although not many will elude to that on here) & Patton's kicking game was spot on.

But our left edge defense was appalling at times. Although Tompkins & Gelling were very strong, Patton, King & Ormsby will be targeted by every other club after watching that game. TS has much work to do if he's going to persist with picking them. They were slow to move up, were caught out of position 2 or 3 times, & missed or fell off tackles.

If I'm honest, I didn't expect much from last night. We were better than I thought we'd be though!

I'm not expecting anything against Leeds next week either.

That would leave us at 1 win from 7. Depending on results, we could be as low as 9th at the end of next weeks rounds.

Our remaining fixtures are:

Leeds - A
Widnes - H
Hull FC - H
Salford - A
Saints - Magic
Catalan - H
Hudds - A
Hull KR - A
Wigan - H
Wakey - A
Saints - H
Cas - A

We need to win a minimum of 7 of the above games. Is that possible?

Re: Tonights Game vs "The Thugs" : Fri Apr 17, 2015 9:08 am  

I think we should be prefectly capable of winning them all apart from the Wigan, Leeds and Saints games.

Re: Tonights Game vs "The Thugs" : Fri Apr 17, 2015 9:12 am  

We looked devoid of any sort of attacking game in the second half, which was a bit disappointing.

Think we need enough wins to not be in the bottom 4, so how many is that. if you feel that's 7 then we're big trouble in my opinion

Out on their feet second half, which was a worry considering we had to do very little last Saturday, against a team that played on a heavy pitch a day later.

Penny's defence was awful last night.......

Big improvement on the cas game.. the game was lost on the left side of our defence.. Patton, Currie, King and Ormsby had their hands full... you cant blame them, they're only young lads still, who will get bigger and better... It was only fair Smith gave them another game after Wakefield.. Im sure they will have learnt alot from the game.

Wigan bombed a few and Smith kicked very badly.... could have been a worse scoreline... Fair result, no complaints.

Nice to see a HB with a kicking game as well.... More positives than negatives.

A very fair summary on a very good game with improvements shown on both side I thought. But still some way to go for both teams.
