mate if you seen tonight you would have seen some improvement on last week, nobby dropped coley, brought in goulding. what i was annoyed with is the lack of plan b, phelps went off and the team didnt have a clue who was going to full back- darrell goulding ended up there and done a decent job which the lad deserves praise for, why cant we stick with one full back who was our best player in this position last year, pat richards!

mark riddell shouldnt have a place next week, he looks truly unfit and needs to spend sometime on the treadmill, id bring ainscough in phelpsy is injured. also i think sam deserves a run out, we need someone who can understand smithys calls, he had a great game tonight tim smith, the kick for richards and the kick for goulding which set up baileys try where two examples of the lads talent. but we need to get some communication between our outside backs, smithy would have had a field day today if there was one ounce of communication.

another thing which i am bemused at is the lack of guts at dropping a second rower, i think nobby has a dilemma which he does not know how to resolve here, he has hock, tomkins, bailey and harrison hansen all vying for 3 second row spots, it is clear to see that nobby is going to have to drop one of these or move one out of position, personally i can see bailey moving back to the centres. id have a go at introducing some youth next week, its castleford at home, what other game should we be introducing ainscough and ST into???

I thought they played so much better this week and were very unlucky not to come away with something.
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Up and under it does not bother me but can you not use txt language. If Fraggle catches you well you will be Fraggled.

How did Hull play? It seemed like they made mistakes too. Apart from ropping ball why are we not scoring many points? 1 try v Wakey 2 v Hull ??

I think the players try but it seems very unproductive

Will you stop going over the top with the exclamation marks!

Stop going to the games then if you are so upset about the team!

By the way, did you go tonight?

They didn't play all that well, Cherry, were just lucky with the ball in hand we were unlucky. ce la vie. But there was a very marked improvement in our play tonight and the players were gutted at the end.

sorry for so many exclamtion marks

i wont stop going because iv'e paid my season ticket and i am hoping to see some improvement. i will always support them, just letting off some steam like others and thinking that while Noble has been talking about how we are gonna challenge for titles this year we loose our first two matches

i didnt go tonight because i had to go to my cousins birthday meal.
i just think that Noble is not the right man
