What's the point in having 17 in the team when Hill did not play at all

Re: HKR (CC) : Sun Jul 23, 2023 6:08 pm  

We really need to sort out the half back situation. French is not a halfback.

Have we just played a game with Isa only doing 40, Shorrocks doing barely any and Harvie Hill doing no minutes?

And barely passed the ball outside of the middle part of the pitch

Surely not blaming the referee? Not Wigan!

Because they've been let down by KR and IL, leaving Peet with no one else.

I called it months ago. Another season left to fizzle out because KR is out of his depth. Cooper out for the season, Peet obviously doesn't trust Singo and Mago wasn't wanted during pre season. An injury to say Havard and we're down to looking at guys like Hill having to do a job.

Just bring a prop in FFS. We won't tho. If we pi$$ the players off now, KR won't be able to present them with a bottle of whiskey on a few years time. After all being a fluffy and cuddly "family club with culture" is more important than success on the pitch.

In the modern game it is. If that’s right for something that is an accident I’m not sure but at least they’re consistent with them.

It was the dumbest performance in 2 weeks We were actually thicker at Wakey, which took some doing. I can cut them plenty of slack today, down to 12 and things going against them. There was no excuses at Wakey (even with the usual shambolic refereeing display).

Not too often I disagree with you but I couldn't have a more different view on this one. Wasn't the red card part of the stupidity? That's red cards now in the playoff semi final, CC quarter final and CC semi final.

Peet deserves huge criticism for that performance. I actually think there was an air of arrogance and self-indulgence in his interview. No acknowledgement of the issues whatsoever. No attacking cohesion, an unused sub in a wet weather semi final, botching the drop goal attempts, kicking early in golden point, no control of the ball, lazy six agains and the list goes on.

He spoke all week about performing on the big occasion and nailing an 80 minute performance and we fell way, way short.

I thoguht the ref was agiant us second half but no - watching it he was just awful - so many bad calls and incorrect decisions.

We need two things

1 A bloody decent prop - not a project signing , not a young player but just a plain old fashioned good agressive experienced prop who can play more than 15 minutes.

2. To bring somone from outside the club on to the coaching staff, we are so lacking ideas in attack it is untrue , we miss Briers. Even in the first half when we had position in the KR half we looked totally bereft of any ideas. French is not a half (thought he had a very poor game today was barely involved) and neither is Field. Everything goes through Smith and it is so easy to read for the defense.

He’s over-promoted, we all know it. Our attacking ‘shape’ is dreadful, wouldn’t look out of place on a Saturday at Pat’s or Jude’s. There’s tons of things to rip apart from that performance but I won’t blame the team for their effort in defence. Everything else just seems so far off. If we’re honest, we might have even been saved an embarrassment at Wembley. We need a Briers replacement urgently, this jobs for the boys nonsense needs to stop or we will keep losing semi-finals like we did before Maguire came in.
