The only way a lightweight pack will be successful is if the subs come down from 10 to 8 as the change from 12 to 10 has made no difference at all.

Gentle brought in Pitts and wanted him to play prop, but surely he is far too small for a prop even if we go with a mobile prop. He's just not built for a prop. Now stick him in the backrow/lock and we have far too many again and that's not even with Manu staying.



Tickle

Ellis

Westy

Whiting

Kent

Pitts



Manu - if he stays

Aspinwall - Can't see them keeping him now.



Unless they bulk Pitts up in the off season.

We lost to salford and went 6 games unbeaten so can be done...this season has been better than most expected and 2013 and 2014 is when we will challenge.

Hopefully, such an ordinary forward.

Agar signing so what you expect

on his day O'Carroll is like a little bulldozer, but injuries keep him from consistent form

He's ordinary.

In your opinion.

Yes I usually do post my own opinion.

I'm not convinced in him t the moment. Seems I get really up for it in the warm ups and can do some good stints, but other times isn't very effective.



I wouldn't go as far as saying he was ordinary, but yesterday wasn't the best I've seen of him.

Good result for us with Hudds losing. All the more irritating we threw 2 points away.

The bigger picture for me is that we will end this weekend in the top 6. Only 3 teams have dropped fewer points. Given that 1 of our big signings hasn't played at all, 1 went home in April and we've had some bad luck with injuries that's not so bad.

We were really unlucky in the 2nd half yesterday. Martin getting injured when turning to gather the short kick off, meaning Rovers got the ball; 'that' forward pass; a wicked bounce for the 2nd 40-20. But we should have finished the game off and we didn't.

I'm still optimistic about this season, particularly with O'Meley, Yeaman, Whiting and hopefully Heremaia to be available.
