Poor recruitment AGAIN you say? Hmmmmm……wonder who the common thread of the last 5 years is.

Re: Magoulias : Sun Jun 05, 2022 1:43 pm  

I think it's hard to judge any new recruit coming into this mad house.

Fair point, judge at the end of the season on this one I say.

He will be unfit playing poker in St Bens club most weekends.

If the rumour of Tanginoa is true, magoulias may be on his way out at seasons end. Can't remember if the extra year option is in our favour or his.
But if Tanginoa is coming, he'd be my number 12 and i'd move Holmes back over to the left edge with Currie at 13.
I know currie is a left edge second rower but i think he'd be a brilliant 13

There are not many players that come out of the leeds game without thinking they could have done better.
The biggest shock for me was Darryl Clarks performance when he is normally an 8 out of 10 even in a losing team he was miles off on Fri night.
Watched the sky coverage back and noticed Phil Clark mention that we have the fastest play the ball in the league. I cannot remember the last time Clark jumped out of DH. Now I guess that one of Powell's changes was to make us less reliant on Clark jumping out of DH getting us out of trouble in games but when it comes to the big games the opposition are alert to it. When we do get a quick play the ball we are looking to shift wide quickly. The shift needs all the players to be in shape for that and alert to it and from the first 5 mins you can see it works but we cannot complete the execution. In the last 5 years I have never seen us put wingers in space as much as we have recently which we have all been crying out for.
There are probably lots of changes that have been made that I dont see but we dont have long to start to pull it all together.
If we go down at wakefield and Tolouse beat Cas then there could be some real nervousness.

Not a pop at Clark but I think I’d prefer a more intelligent hooker than a yard maker from the start. We have Walker as the one to provide the scoots against a tiring defence. I’d say Clark’s biggest flaws are his lack of game intelligence and passing from DH.

A lot to ask but I’d like a hooker with a real brain like Monaghan, one who organises and can see where to shift the ball. Leeming gave Clark a lesson on Friday.

And Leeming’s been given a lot of sick by us as that was something we haven’t seen before….
