Name me 3 actual quality centres playing in Super League.

(The point being that actual quality centres in the British game are very hard to find and us having 2 average centres isn't really the negative you might think...).

Newman, Leutele, Lynne all improve us massively and that’s just three I can think of quickly.

Why just Super League? We can sign from the NRL too. For example Hiku, who is now going to HKR, would be a much better option than what we currently have.

When we decided to send King out on loan to our rivals (who’s a better centre than both btw) we should have had a replacement lined up.

Anyone know what happened to Parcell? He seemed furious about something when he went off. Hope no-one’s going to be copping a ban. We’re getting pretty thin in the back row now

He seemed to gesture that he'd been caught with an elbow.

Why? Because beat Hull KR at home? I still have my doubts about Powell. We’ve only beaten Catalans this year who are any good. We failed to beat Wigan at home (who were battered by 12 men Leeds tonight) and the worst Saints side in years. We have the two worst centres in the league. Let’s see how we’re doing in September when it matters.

Talk about being selective in your examples! We are top of the league despite having real issues with absentees for a fair few matches. Saints beat us but obviously it was their cup final, Wigan played the conditions better than we did. Are we perfect? No. Are we unstoppable? No.
Are we a squillion times better than last season? Yes.
As for checking where we are in September last season we were checking where we were every month and it counted but not in a good way.

Yeah, I saw that. Was wondering if anyone had actually seen anything. Seemed to be missed by everyone at the ground

If we were playing saints next week the 2 nearest players to parcell when he went down would be getting a 1 match suspension.

Still could, will wait with interest on Monday.

Still disturbing ,the early doors lack of enthusiasm to compete against HKR & still the persistent problem of the opposition making excessive yards in possession so we get the ball back in the wrong part of the pitch. I do though live in hope that this is part of a grand plan to condition the team into winning ugly from a losing situation.
Is there a problem between Ratchford & Williams ? There seemed to be a few words exchanged at times. Perhaps there are too many captains in the side.

Re: Tonight’s game v HKR : Sat May 13, 2023 4:19 pm  

Ratchford was moaning and moaning again last night, it’s getting rather tedious. He is not Captain material at all.
