SL RD 6 | London Broncos (H) : Sat Mar 09, 2019 5:53 pm  

Wonder whether we will see some changes this week v London. I hope so after the issues we had v Hull FC. Sutcliffe, Merrin and Newman should all keep their spots, which is surprising. I would also like to see McLelland given a shot.

This is a must win game.

I think some changes have to be made after two poor performances on the bounce.

I’m not sure whether those replacement players would necessarily be better now, but if the season is going to be a write off anyway we might as well start developing 2020s team.

Then again we don’t necessarily want to give our brightest young talent an absolute pasting with the crowd booing etc. Trust in Furner.

I would be very interested to know how Merrin is causing all these fights. Last time I checked a fight requires at least two participants.

Totally agree we should immediately put down all coaches and players and see if we can get Doug Laughton back and make Walters captain.

Personally I think it's the curse of a new stadium and we should make the move to play at Roundhay park where we can rebuild the atmosphere from scratch.

Get a grip. We are in for a long season caused by a period of stagnation. This won't be fixed in 6 games.

So sick of this constant childlike need for instant success. We are like spoilt little children.

Everyone knows what changes need to be made at the club in order for us to be successful again and I fully agree with both Sir Kev and Dave Furner with regards to this moving forward long term https://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/ ... -1-9577196 But can anyone tell me how Salford went to Catalan and won 46-0 with this squad? 1 Niall Evalds 2 Derrel Olpherts 3 Kris Welham 4 Jake Bibby 5 Ken Sio 6 Robert Lui 7 Jackson Hastings 8 Daniel Murray 9 Joey Lussick 10 Gil Dudson 11 Josh Jones 12 Jansin Turgut 13 Mark Flanagan Subs 14 George Griffin 15 Greg Burke 16 Ben Nakubuwai 17 Adam Lawton I'm sure that Ian Watson would also love to improve his squad by shopping at the top table but they seem to be be able to win games with players that wouldn't necessarily get into most other SL sides,So we can't hide behind this excuse anymore How many of that side would we want? Their spine of Evalds,Lui,Hastings and Lussick work very well together and Ian Watson is also a very under rated coach (despite being a moaning f#cker) IMO it's time for our established current first team players to stand up and be counted and to improve our performances and more importantly our results,and if they can't deliver then IMO lets get committed players in from our academy system that will improve our ineptness and weak areas

If Singleton continues to perform the way he has been he'll be permanently at Fev. Our worst forward against Hull (statistically).

Merrin strikes me as someone who's come over to do a job and be professional rather than look for trouble. If there's anything in this it looks like simple jealousy from other squad members. If they can't deal with a former State of Origin and Kangaroo being paid marquee wages maybe they should look for other clubs.

So we are making up stories now to try make matters worse , we are where we are because of 3 years poor recruitment and no leaders in the squad . too early to blame Furner although i am sure he had a major say in our signings . Somehow we need to sort out half back and forward issues by the start of next season but this year is a write off and if we lose on Friday we are in deep trouble . What we need to do is get out of relegation trouble and get some kids in and find out which ones we need to be looking at as first choice for next season .Stop saying we are all like spoilt kids . most of us do not expect us to win trophies every year . The golden years were great but in a salary cap sport are never going to happen again but those of us who lived through the 80s and 90s just want us to compete for now .

If these rumours are true then at least Merrin is showing a bit of fight somewhere.

Sorry, easy target. He was pretty good the other night actually. In fact most of your pack were reasonable.

I'm sure I aren't telling you anything you don't already know but from what I have seen its the halves that are the main problem. We were sat in the south stand on Friday so we got a good close look at your attack when you were camped on our line for long periods. Neither Myler or Lolohea seemed to have the remotest idea of how to unlock a defence. There was a moment that summed it up where Lolohea had the ball late in the tackle count about 10 metres out. He caught it, stood still, looked left, looked right, and literally just handed it to a forward next to him who was immediately tackled. It was like in a kid's game where a kid throws the ball away because they don't want to be tackled. Also the amount of passes that went on the floor or into touch was terrible.

I don't know much about this lad McClelland but I can't see how he can be any worse than what I saw on Friday. You remind me of Catalans last year. There is quality in the team, but you need someone to direct them around. Drinkwater is a very average player, but he was the right sort of player to just provide a little direction to get a tune out of Catalans star players. If you can find your own Drinkwater then you probably aren't a bad side.
