A very depressing performance on all fronts

It’s still too early to give up on the season.
I suppose we need to put it into context - better sides than us will lose at Warrington this year. They are well balanced. I do genuinely think we will improve a bit as the year goes on.
It’s the manner of it though isn’t it? We were lucky not to get nilled tonight.
I have to say I thought we’d be more competitive tonight than we were. Furner is going to have to try different pack combinations because I’m not convinced that was our best possible mix. Crosby probably comes in when fit to be fair, but Peteru and Smith unlucky.

Wigan will be a good yardstick next up. They too looked short of power and ideas, be interesting to see how well we compete. Wire were always likely to be too good but while they're still a decent challenge, wigan aren't at that level right now.

It was a poor display showing little progress from last year and Warrington were good value for their win.

Just shows the amount of work needed through the club.

Credit to the players though, kept going even though we'll off the pace. We need to be patient. On paper the recruitment we have done is solid and let's see where we are in 6 weeks time.

Yes I was fearing a spanking at half time.
So who do we bring in, using the current squad, to make a positive difference?
I’d like Smith to get a run but is he too similar to Sutcliffe?

I’d have smith over sutcliffe he’s pretty useless and has been for a few seasons. He’d be better on the bench can cover a few spots for injury. I would take ferres out as well back 3 of Smith Merrin and ward. Donaldson did well though I must admit

Cas fan here, I think Furner could turn it round with the personnel he has at his disposal. That is if he realises that Parcell just isn't good enough to mount a top 5 challenge.

Firstly, I don't understand the thinking of spending one marquee allowance on a forward!
Secondly, I don't understand why then have him sit out on the bench when he is on one marquee allowance!!

Sutcliffe was OK last night on the whole. Parcell did a load of work in defence.
As a rule not many players will look great to most people when they’re defending all the time.
We might turn it around but we can’t defy the laws of physics and our pack doesn’t offer enough punch. We have some ball players but they’re suffocated.

Unbelivably bad some of them, the right edge of Sutcliffe, Lolohea, and Watkins, missed 17 tackles between them.

Thought myself Sutcliffe had an ok game, and did do 35 tackles, but 7 missed is Keinhorst standard.

On the other side Ferres and Myler missed 5 tackles each.

You can see where our problems are. For the record, on paper stats, Merrin, Cuthbertson, Dobaldson, and Ward, had very good games.
