Once were Loiners wrote:

We do have lots of forwards, especially "middles". Loads of those.

If we glued 2 of them together we might get one the right size to make a difference in the " middle"

Can anyone actually tell me what CJ has done wrong? Taken off after 20 mins and now dropped from the squad for the Salford game ?

Also no Mustapha in the squad despite Prior and Holroyd.

I think after last weeks performance he should have been throwing in a couple of youngsters to show players are not undroppable. Broadbent and Mustapha would have been bankers in my team this week.

There's a pecking order. CJ hasn't done anything wrong and no Muzzy means Oledzki will play.

Hopefully the players will put in a much better performance than against Ull.

And to think Agar suggested some players might have put themselves out of the team based on their performance 3 games back.
Not sure those players have done a right lot since but still they get picked.
Without doubt Broadbent and Mustapha should be in the 17 if nothing more than to kick those not performing into doing something.

Weak coaching.

Goes back to my post on the first page. There was always 2 options here, redemption or someone else’s shot.

He’s a bit damned if he doesn’t damned if he does here.

And it all comes down to the result on Friday.

If we Win it’s the right decision to give them chance to redeem themselves if we lose then they deserve to be dropped and others given a chance.

I suppose we’ll find out

Being brutally honest I thought his defence around the ruck wasn't great. Unfortunately for Agar - and us long suffering fans - Dwyer tightened things up a bit but directed play poorly and scooted to no avail.

Think that’s right and we need a win so bringing back our captain and Playing him with Dwyer, think 2 top try scorers from last season is an easy choice. Johnson will get more chances if he can keep developing.
Last week was a tough gig as we know we were on the backfoot throughout

Well let's hope for the win though in my view theyve already had a number of chances for redemption even at this early stage. I wonder, if there's another loss on Friday how many chances they have left.

From the point of view of the fans and from the statement he could make to motivate those not performing and giving the carrot to those waiting in line I'd have thought it was a win win win.
