Can’t see us getting much out of this one tonight. Going to be a wet night though so maybe with it being a little slower we might stay close to them…

Warrington may feel this is an easy two points and get overconfident. Tidy up the errors and we could shock em Glass half full CTID

I’ve not see any of the Wire games so far this season so no real idea of how they are playing. Rightly or wrongly, I see Burgess as a demanding coach rather than an encouraging one which may not get the best out of his troops. We’ll certainly need to be a lot sharper than last week and definitely need to cut out the basic errors. Hopefully the travelling ’Fords will make it there and back safely, hopefully avoiding the white stuff o’er t’ills.

Hope I’m wrong but Other then London don’t see us winning away this season.

mucky1978 Not sure you are,I thought there were only four away games we’d have a sniff in and one of those was Salford. I fully expected us to go into the Huddersfield game on the back of three defeats, but was pleasantly surprised at both performances so far, the Giants are beatable,and I’d be quite confident had we not lost bodies through injuries and suspension. We need the confidence a win brings,the longer we go without it the harder it will get. Watts,Macca and a fit Namo with others gaining experience game by game and we could be a far different proposition.

I know we have a lot of new players in the squad but we need to improve quite quickly. We don’t look like a team at all.

Matt Most not even SL standard.

We are rubbish. 2 wins all season

Hate to say this but we are a million miles away from SL standard. Championship side at best, trying to make silk purses out shows ears with average players ain’t gonna work.

I’m even starting to wonder if lingard is the right coach for us. Early days I know, but 3 loses on the trot, conceding nearly 30 points a game. Not good enough.

Warrington v Tigers - R3 SL

FlatCapper there’s not much wrong with the team but they need to play their A game. If everyone faces as much as westy we’d be fine.

Hepworth

Can’t help but think that even with the six front row options we’ve got with his size, work ethic and ball handling skills Westy would be a better prop than any of them.

RaoulDuke

Hepworth very true

Hepworth

It won’t happen and there are probably many good reasons why not but at least this forum provides a safe space to throw out ideas for discussion without sufffering abuse. The NRL seem far more flexible in trying players in what wouldn’t be regarded as their “normal position” I admit successes are the exception rather than the rule but they do exist, and players like Sam Burgess,Ellery Hanley and our own Kevin Ward show transitioning positions can be successful.

FlatCapper

I’m not sure what naming Westy at prop would gain?

As well as trying to organise, feed the outside backs, etc, he already does more than his fair share of driving the ball in centre field, scrummaging down in the front row and tackling everything that comes at him.

Mind you, when we do get Macca back, Westy will probably need a rest so he could play as George Griffin!

Hepworth

FlatCapper I think we’d gain a fair bit in our current situation, Mustapha injured I believe,Griffin still out,Watts suspended, Namo according to reports still not quite ready,neither is Hindmarsh. That leaves Lawler,Kibula and Vete. Now that would be a worry.

stuey

Talking about “resting” players, is this the season when players are only allowed to play in a limited nr of matches, or does that start next season?

RaoulDuke

stuey tbh, I can’t remember if it was a law or an idea.
