Sorry but Worrincy doesnt need game time he needs to learn how to play the game, he was useless on that pitch, for one tackle he fair pulled Terry off he looks like a rabbit in the headlights..Simply not good enough we are on the slippery road to oblivion seems the board may simply be happy balancing the books, wont happen when the fans stay away, could be in for lowest derby crowd we have seen on friday. Leeds to outnumber the home fans perhaps...P1ss poor

I think the crowd will be a decent one of Friday, but I wouldn't put money against it being nearly 50/50 split

Having Halley on the bench and bringing him on for the last few minutes of both halves might be an improvement over him getting 10 minutes at the end of the game

It might be an idea to give him a few kicks to chase as well.
As a matter of fact does anybody know , since coming back, how many tries he has scored / min game time.

I wouldn't waste a bench spot with a winger TBF...

Start Halley on the right Wing.

Agree with what others have said about Langley, Deacon, Jefferies et al missing tackles - as they are the rudder of the team, they seem to have opted the attitude "we don't have to tackle".

Markers are standing too close to the opposition ruck, they need to stand a little deeper and work harder.

Although as Bullseye said, not an easy fix really...

As I said last night, I'd drop Sheriffe and Deacon out of the squad if Solomona is passed fit. I'd promote Halley to right wing and move Menzies to 6 to partner Ben Jeffries. It won't be enough to beat Leeds but it improve our defence a little. If Deacon plays on Fri I fully expect them to single him out for some extra defence.

I cannot see there been a coaching change before Friday so He will have to sort it.
All we can do is turn up and get behind them as always. Although not sure what will happen with the crowd reaction if we start to get a spanking!

Make some changes and try to freshen it up. Picking the same team week in week out tells the players that no action will be taken.

Sykes. Halley. Nero. Crookes. Tadulala. Menzies. Jeffries. Scruton. Newton. Lynch. Burgess. Cook. Solomona. Subs. Crossley. Langley. Deacon. Whitehead.

A few fresh faces and droppings would do us the world of good in my books.

Now here's a thing.You might even beat Leeds on Friday.Stranger things have happened.

on oth here and the T & A fans are calling for changes to the team, but deep down we all know he will pick the exact same team. Then the same at Wakefield. Comfort zone for the senior players and young players busting for a chance getting on a downer through lack of opportunity.

Platt is taking some hammer. Not all his fault we lost, but he was doing this all last year. Now if the coach is doing his job Platt would not be doing it still - time to teach him a lesson and drop him.
Smith was not afraid at he Wire - Briers was straight out of the team.....

I have been Deacons biggest fan, but he has been poor. Should have had another player this year to help out both him and Jeffries with a view to them taking over full time in a few years time. Instead we wanted to have every second rower in the world playing for us.

Just seen Burgess getting some hammer. Just one of many off form, but let someone else getting battered in the front row and use him at loose.
