Oledski Martin cameron smith the pick of the pack for me, L Sutcliffe Lui pick off the backs.
Mclelland took his try well but did not really show enough for me, was expecting him to show more against a championship side, newman nothing much Either, Broadbent is not championships standard yet never mind super league, and some people think he should be used instead of Evans. Nit writing him off but he is 2 years off being a super league player.

From a performance perspective thought we looked weak on the wings. Martin looked good and so did Olezjski. Though Lui looked dangerous too. He will benefit from a full offseason with the squad.

Handley looks horrendous. And whoever thought he could play fullback, wants their head shaking.

Just out of interest what did Newman Broadbent & Handley do wrong exactly? Also what did Evans do to prove he's worth a punt?

I thought Newman was very good, not sure what to critisize, especially considering he is out of position. Broadbent, other than put in touch, which probably any other player would have been in same scenario, not sure what he did wrong. Evans, don't think he did anything wrong either. Handley, continually stepping back inside when the space there, and when running at the line doesn't simply go for the gap, which is poor decision making to me. This on top of continually running sideways behind players, risking obstruction calls. Contact in the tackle though I think he does really well. But certainly shouldn't be our number one winger, which is where we are.

I thought Broadbent showed a fair few bits of naivety which is to be expected. I think that hes got potential but is a long long way off.

In last two games gone with sutcliffe in centre and Newman on the wing looks like that might be how we go at the start of the season until briscoe is back

So the guy who almost topped last season’s SL try scoring chart shouldn’t be our number one winger?

Greg Eden was by miles super leagues top scorer recently, and he looks like going to Keighley this season. What the hell number of tries has to do with what I put I don't know? NO he shouldn't be our number one winger, IF we had the right players in the squad. Unfortunately, we don't have those players, and hence he is our number one winger.
