Ryan Hall would look knaff on our wing!

Having finally plucked up courage to re-watch the game, I think that instead of blaming Wayne, think of the disallowed try due to a high tackle resulting in a penalty to Dewsbury, and a further 2 pts from another high tackle both committed by one of our players, were crucial turning points in the match. We did not play well but on second viewing we could have won, discipline cost us on Thursday night.

I don't think Reittie should be anywhere near the team but he wasn't to blame for losing on Thursday night.

We need to put Handforth back at hooker. His legs have gone and is simply too slow for half-back but at dummy half he gets the forwards making yards and comes up with some clever plays.

So you think someone who's *legs have gone* is the answer at dummy half in the modern game ?

I'd have have to strongly question that myself. I'd say the fact that Karl Ashall was signed & Craig Cook trialled was giving us an insight into how we intend to recruit. Seemingly, the loss of Penky has created a bigger problem than we hoped for. I'm not saying we should have moved heaven & earth to keep Sean but key for me at the moment is Murrell's injury, he's the one who makes us tick, hence the re-shuffling.
Could I suggest Bowman given some gametime at 9 ?
I don't see anyone out there who would be available to recruit into the squad.
