We showed the best and the worst of our game against Bradford. However, on watching it again, it is mostly simple and the same mistakes that we keep making. Whilst Noble has no had much time, I'm hoping a fresh pair of eyes can eradicate much of the easy stuff quickly - perhaps not so quickly to beat a very good team like Featherstone, but who knows.
I think one of the major problems we have is the constant changing around of players at half back and hooker. It must disrupt the team massively when the key players making the calls are never the same for more than 15 mins. It is a complete waste of a substitute having both a half back and a hooker on the bench, particularly when Beswick can play half back if necessary. I'd start with Black and Jones at half back and Bob at hooker with Penky on the bench. Whilst Penky has been our stand out player, I think bringing him on after 15 mins with Aizue makes him really effective. As such, bring Penky on after 15 minutes and then leave him to play the rest of the match. Bob should then operate at loose forward, with Sam moving into the second row.
Might as well go for a fax win - Fev 22 Halifax 34
