If we've signed who we think we've signed and sign a centre (or two) and a backrower then I don't think we are that far away. We were very average and forgettable in 2015 and look what happened with the right new additions.

The issue for mine, concerning Rapana was his reluctance to jump for the high ball, I wonder if he has a knee issue, which is causing pain on landing.. If this appears to be the case, maybe swapping positions with Litten?KR's passing from both Hiku & Gildart to create their tries was sublime.
I felt disappointed, because when Lewis went off, I really thought we had a great opportunity to win the game...
Going forward, I thought Ashworth could do a job, on the left edge, and maybe Aydin on the right?

Think losing Lane yesterday affected us a lot more than I initially thought it would. Not only meant that we lost our only recognised second rower for the game, but by moving Ashworth there we also lost our impact off the bench, which was huge noticeable when the interchanges happened.
All said in hindsight, but we'd maybe have been better moving Chamberlain to second row, Rapana to centre and using Moy at full back since he was sat on the bench. Fully understand trying to minimise the number of player movements and at that time we had no idea Rapana was going to go on to have his worst game of the year. Moy also looks a bit ropey this year, so things could have ended even worse, but I like Moy's pace and that's something Rapana just doesn't have. Moy could have been there in support of Pryce. 
Obviously again, all said in hindsight.


Also need Cust as interchange hooker next week. I do like Bourouh but we don't want to flog him for 80 next week. Need to start getting some fresh legs on at 9. Around the hour mark yesterday when we had all the momentum would have been a perfect time to get another 9 on to start running from dummy half.

I was about to post the same thing. We looked like we didn't handle the occasion well.
If we are honest we had hope rather than expectation.


Considering we had 3 extra days rest we looked slow at most facets of the game and tired imo.


Too many had an average game. Things can only get better. Fingers crossed for a good response at Warrington.


KR are a bloody good team so no disgrace. They still have to navigate past Saints, Warrington or Catalan to win it imo.

It was pretty much as I expected. But a big positive for me is that they’ve been conceding less that 8 points a game and we put 18 on them.
