I will explain to you why.

Because one of your fans, the one that started this thread is on here 50 times a day telling us how we're rubbish and his team are great. So I thought I'd play along in his game of "My dad's bigger than your dad"

I enjoyed it, it brought back memories of when I was running around in the primary school playground as a child all those years ago.

I dont know why KR fans need to keep flogging this dead horse, we all know our situation.

For me it shows the mentality that they are more bothered about the club in 11th then 1st. Or maybe it hurts that despite the dross served up at FC people locally are more interested in the west side then east.

Right think it's time to put the negativity away (at least until the squad is announced ) and get behind the lads on Sunday.

I'd play Scott on the wing, how many chances cam Mcintosh get?

6 is a real area of weakness, McNamara is a better defender and Lovodua offers more in attack, neither are really good enough to play there.

Need to play really well to win, better than we have played all season

Re: On to Huddersfield : Fri Apr 21, 2023 12:21 pm  

Think I’d roll the dice with either sutty or Carlos at 6. Both better in D than Joey & McIntosh. Even if we just use them as more of an off the cuff running threat.

I do think McIntosh gets blamed for every try, even when the blame lies with ball watching inside of him. You can’t deny he’s been poor.

For example Handleys try last week. It was on McNamara not shifting quick enough which meant everyone was ball watching inside of McIntosh. He then made the right decision and jammed in.

His execution of the jamming in was an awful tackle attempt and he probably should have stopped the try. For me the blame for that falls on the inside men.

However, if his execution is that poor when needed maybe we should give someone like Martin ago (I’ve always thought he looks better than Barron)

That would be no better than having McNamara at 6 and in all honesty worse as he just isn’t able to do the minutes anymore and his defence is no longer such a strongpoint. I’d rather play Scott at centre and out Sutcliffe to 6 as that would at least give us something different and a bit more creativity. .

As fans i agree we need something different to McNamara at 6 who is just catch and pass but dont think Smith will do anything different other than to either leave McNamara there or go the safe route and play Houghton there who at least may take on the line occasionally

Re: On to Huddersfield : Sat Apr 22, 2023 1:12 pm  

I think this will be a tight game this one , We have to improve both defence & attack to stand any chance of getting a result . Hudds arnt ripping up any trees at the moment . 6- 10 points either way .
