the tries certainly dried up.

Sarsy's game is built on backing up the guy making the breaks, if there is nobody making breaks it reders his game ineffective,I don't think he has eyes on Toronto just yet, and won't let you down.

He's been quiet in the last couple of games, but charlie is spot on. He thrives on offloads and breaks. Top man if we can tie him down for next season.

He's been confirmed in the Toronto press weeks ago - not that it means much if Canadian RL journos are owt like most of ours!

We need centres that have pace and can actually pass the ball not bulldozers who just drive the ball in every time.

Centres and wingers are obvious. That can pass and have some pace. Tyrer is a great kicker and good close to the line but is a poor wingers centre. Heaton was very poor today. Had a decent second day half to season but again has no pace or ball handling skills. Salty wants to get involved too much and is much better at fullback where he is kept busy. I dare say we wouldn't have conceded first 2 tries with him there as he would have been switched on for the first and stronger than Johnno for the 2nd.

As for full back. When we r on song then johnno there works. Going forward he was good again today but was too small and light for 2 of their tries. At half back he doesn't create enough or have a good enough kicking game.

Motivation and passion on the field was missing today when we have that we r hard to beat. In such a big game it wasn't there for some reason.

What the hell do you mean the 1st 2 tries would have been stopped if salty was at fullback he was one of the players along with sharpie who coughed the ball up in the 1st place and to say jonno creates nothing what type of rugby do you watch think you must be a politician you talk that much poop. Jonno has been our best player along with tangata since the summer bash.

This. Jonno has played great recently, and has put some telling tackles in at fullback. He's never going to stop a bulldozer from a yard out from the line, but neither would Salty. One of our best players, albeit he (and Salty) I think could do with some quality coaching to bring out their best.

Just a thought, but maybe we need to think about our coaching staff (not our head coach, who I think, despite the disappointments, is the best man for the job) and whether they're getting the best out of or players?
