Our forwards are simply not good enough. Singo is shot, Cooper is a shadow of his former self. Ellis, KPP and Powell are simply not producing the goods. Mago is better in the stands. Salford were better all over the park, a bit of brilliance and superior fitness got us home. The stats for Singleton...

We were second best for most of that game but managed to drag ourselves back into it and get a win we almost certainly didn't deserve if you judged the teams on a full 80 minute performance. Salford probably felt they let the game slip away as much as we might think we won it. For most of the game i...

For me King has been the more impressive of the two new centres. It just seems like every time a try gets scored on an edge the blame gets put on the centre or winger because they are the ones that end up with the three on two overlap to contend with. The centre will pretty much always rush out of t...

Stats are available on the Super League website and it does show better numbers from most of our key forwards which is good. While none of our props posted huge metres both Ellis and Cooper were up on their average for the year. Farrell and Smithies very impressive and some really good metres from t...

King is a right centre, Gildart plays on the left. I don't see the reason for re-signing Gildart when King could do the right centre job for us. There's a whole season to work that one out. Wardle is our left centre and must surely stay. There will be other clubs interested in Gildart, let him go t...

Joe Shorrocks has had the same problem as Olly Partington they’ve both been played out of position. Olly was never big enough to play prop and Joe is not a 9. Play them in the their rightful positions and you will get the best out of them. Given the right opportunity Joe can turn into a very good L...

I really don't understand Smith being singled out for criticism. He scored our first try from a set play he almost certainly orchestrated. He put in one great kick that should have let to a try from French but was knocked on, another that French should have tried to knock back to supporting players ...

I thought the game emphasised just how little threat we have up front. We've invested in two new centres to improve our outside backs but what is the point when other teams are strengthening their packs and we're going backwards. I said in the off-season that if we're going into games with Isa as a ...

He's got a fantastic attitude, as shown by how he had to fight to remain at the club in his early years, then fight over the years to keep his place in the side with some competition from some very talented wingers. I'd go as far to say there's probably no player anywhere in Super League that offers...
