Richard Horne was top of the try assists, we can create. We have a rank attack because we have a rank pack.'"
Completely wrong. We have scored less tries than Castleford, wakefield and widnes, none of whom have better packs than us. Even poor sides can be creative if they're organised. I'm not surprised that gentle did his coaching apprenticeship at the club which has relied on the creativity of benji marshall for the last decade or so but when he doesn't fire they're poor

You're deluding yourself if you think our pack is better than Wakefield's. I'm not convinced it's been better than the other two's this year either.
On paper means feck all, and I've seen our pack bossed by all three of those teams at least once this year.

OK, well you continue to believe you're right but one day you'll come round to my way of thinking just like you have on everything else I've been right about in the past

| Thought this was about why the hell we never took the goal kicks offered .
From the off could of been 2 up .
If we would of took them been another game but with our best kicker on the field we turned every one down only to loose the ball second tackle.

Is that an oxymoron?

| I have confidence in the two halves but they do need to improve their communication and the roles they each play. Stick Horne with either one of them and you immediately have a better balance as Horne brings a running game and makes us more direct. Miller and DJ are often too similar but, they have not played together much so it should improve.

Someone stupidly typing that they're incapable of stupidity? Is your genius in English or something useful?

| Quote Staffs FC="Staffs FC"I don't think we were dominated in the ruck we just lost the ball too much. Miller had a poor game although it wasn't for the want of trying. Horne was continuously our biggest attacking threat until he got injured although I have no problem with his non-selection due to lack of fitness. =#0000BFThat said before the game many on here were happy to see Crooks selected but not Horne on the basis of his fitness which seemed a bit odd. Whether he would have changed anything had he played is pure conjecture - I tend to think that he would have offered a more direct running threat. Whilst I'm a fan of Whiting as a sub he continues to be our most (only) creative forward and proved again yesterday that he can win attacking collisions and offload to supporting players. I'm not sure he can do the minutes Westerman does so maybe bench is the only option however he causes defences problems and maybe we need a bit less graft and a bit more craft.'"
I'm not sure about that, and even if so it's still not that odd. As I said before the game, we have 2 fit halfbacks and a fit fullback, we don’t have another fit centre, so it was a case of having to gamble on Crooks, not being happy to. The only other option would have been to play Whiting there, which would have made our pack even worse. Had Arundel been ok I’d have gone with him, personally.
What I didn't expect was that Crooks would forget how to catch a ball in his absence.

| Quote cod'ead="cod'ead"I think Westerman could cause problems to defences, unfortunately we appear to have coached his ballhandling skills out of him and prefer him to act as a 3rd prop. I'm sick of seeing players like Westy and Ellis just donkeying the ball up, it's a waste'"
Agree about that. I'm also sick of seeing us continually tee Westerman and Tickle up for crash balls at the line no matter what the conditions or how often they drop it. After a certain point it's not just their fault.
