In Rugby League, if you lose the forward battle you normally lose the match. Having already lost to KR this season by our tiny pack being dominated when Eorl went off, it is madness, absolute madness to play a light pack. When did the match turn? When Eorl went off?

I am right behind the players, no questions ovet commitment there. But the coach despite all the good he has done has lost the plot. Making mistales happens, failing to learn from them is stupid, ignoring them and coming out with patronising crap in the paper is worse than stupid, it is damaging the club we all care about.

Can anyone be sure we will finish above Leeds? They are 9th.

Great coach? Not even close, Rugby League is a simple game, rule 1, play 4 big props to ensure at least parity in the physical battle, enough said.

We have the players, just bloody well pick them.

Completely agree. It was painful watching the hkr pack rumbling down the park all evening. And where was our muscle ? Not even on the bench ? I posted previously that this would have been an ideal match for our tackling machine Fairbanks. Where was he ? And btw where was mason tonight ?

Our weak pack is being exposed and I feel sorry for the players who are filling in there.

mason was dropped??
mcgillvary was dropped as well,brown wasnt happy about something he put on twitter,i wonder if mcbanana will drop peacock this week??????
poor 3 quarters again and forwards were mostly poor-ferguson had a nightmare

Brown has been poor but stripping him of captaincy would send a very strong message out but is that the answer?

Poor threequarters? I take it you weren't watching Leroy. He was one of the few who shone.

It was a good idea in theory but think Nathan needs to admit that this experimental lightweight, mobile pack isn't working anymore and get back to basics IE 2 prop forwards 2 second rowers a loose forward and a hooker , and by that i mean players who are noted for playing in them positions.

We are too easy to work out now and teams are simply sending their big men to target us !

Has Brown fallen out with Mason or is he injured? Seems to have mised quite a lot of games this season.

Who of us on here could say???

agree, come up against one of the biggest packs in super league and we dont play mason?!

would of thought he would of known this seeing as we lost to them after being steam rolled in the forwards earlier in the season

get back to playing the props and stop with the mobile pack as its not working anymore..teams have figured us out

oh and stop the ill discipline when we get good field position

Nathan Brown comments;

"It's quite obvious our right edge is struggling defensively and they're very strong down that side with Dobson, Benny Galea and Kris Welham. Apart from Wigan, they're the form team of the competition at the moment."

cudjoe-- right centre or am i wrong
