On current form, which 3 (4) teams do you think we can take the 2 points from?

Considering we have pushed Catalans and Hudds close who are top 4 I’d say Salford, KR and Cas with Leeds a possibility too.

We will see exactly how good we are by round 9. That will be a truer reflection of what we can expect for the season.

Every week where we still sit on 0 points it’s going to be a must win game. Don’t want to see Gaskell near the team sheet, and if we get nilled for the third week in a row than the Applegarth experiment has not worked.

It is not a Applegarth experiment to think that Gaskell was good enough to be given the 6 shirt after been in the first team Coaching staff last year .More like a disaster

If Trinity get nilled at Leeds it will be the first time we’ve been nilled 3 times in a row since 1904

He's not been perfect at 6 but he hasn't been that bad. I'd happily play him at centre. I don't think I've seen him have a bad game there.

Got a lot of respect for your post but you say he is ok in the Centre .So why are we playing him at 6 And i have not got a cat lol .

You’re right PT he hasn’t been that bad but that does not disguise the fact that he isn’t good enough for SO
He’s too slow and a much better centre.
It’s a sad indication of the talent we have when he’s the preferred no 6.

Neither us nor Leeds have picked up any bans this week (fines for players from both teams only) but looking ahead Salford are reporting only 21 fit players and SKD could pick up a 5 match ban after their match against Leigh... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/64862814

I don't disagree at all.
I thought we were going to replace Miller with a decent player and cringed when I realised we were going to go with Gaskill but we are where we are.
I at least thought Smith would develop into a Miller but because of injuries he hasn't had chance yet.

It’s a common theme with Salford. Though most of any injuries are actually their back up players. Just mind games with them.

So at least we are on the. same page .I cringed as well . Maybe I through that the way fans had raved about the new coach that I was going to see attacking rugby ,so maybe that is getting to me as well All been well will be at Leeds but if there is know improvement with ball in hand can not see me making many away games
