Ellis , Paea and Carvel looked great against Huddersfield but didn't reproduce that performance last night OR , and we'll see over the next couple of rounds , Huddersfield were poorer than we thought last week and KR stronger.
These 3's dominance over Huddersfield made everyone else's job so much easier so much so that it's difficult to judge the rest of the teams performances this week.

I think most of SL is inconsistent. The teams who can produce week after week are the ones who win things. It's probably a mix of ability, physicality and mentality but we're just not as good as the top sides.

I'm very optimistic about the future of this team in 2 or 3 years time. We have the bones of a very good squad, throw in some more young talent and it's very exciting.

If we keep the right players, add some quality, and blend some youth in then I think 2016 could see us with a great squad. I feel we are putting all our eggs in the Harry Tyson Wilson basket though. Let's hope he's not another Tommy Lee.

We're going to struggle to hang on to some players in the next 2 to 3 years though. Looks like bowden will be next out of the door

Exactly this. Consistency brings success in just about any sport, and we haven't had any at FC for a dog's age.

Agreed. Mentality is key and I think that it's as much between the ears where we're below average and for some reason have been for years.

For me we have a really strong forward pack who should dominate most other teams week in week out especially when green returns as I would have him starting with pea then use Carvell and feka,Bowden or watts off the bench our back row is again really strong with Ellis Tuson Thomson Hadley and whiting with the obvious of Ellis and Tuson starting I'd have Ellis and Thomson and let Tuson earn his place with whiting sub you need aza on the bench to come on and replace danny and to speed the game up for us we missed that on Thursday night. I'd still give miller and Rankin afew more weeks cause at times they have both looked really dangerous
when our forwards are on top. Our back line at the moment is poor with the exception of shaul
and talonoa but with sa coming in and lineham not a million miles away from been back we could have a very good back line in the making with lineham crooks sa talonoa and shaul but that would mean leaving Radford's best mate Yeaman out and yes he has served us well over the years and is a good defender but he offers very little go forward.
