Back ont' oss.

Now lets push on.

Your deluded to think any of your players came close to his performance. Not even sure any of them could ever match that level.

I think its a significant win mentally more than anything, how many times last year did we lose those type of games?

leeds need a ian kirke type player, i know he wasn't liked by this board but he was brought on to plug the defensive gap left when peacock was off
our defence strength drops alarmingly when merrin is rested

To be fair Liam Watts was absolutely outstanding.

Myler gets some stick but his excellent quick service to our left edge is part of the reason Koni and Handley are going so well, I’m hoping Tui can get some weight off and fitness back because I don’t think they are as bad of a half back pairing as some think

We’re massively missing Ward IMO

We need quality not a 10 minute plodder.

Walker was the man of the match by a distance followed by Merrin, Hurrell and Cam Smith.

He is a superstar in the making anyone who thinks he should be sacrificed to allow a failed/over weight half back to get a game needs their bumps feeling.

You're showing yourself up now. Can only assume you're his sponsor.

Mullhearn is your man.

You showed yourself up with your first post. If you look at my posts previous, you will see I am a critic of his. However, as I watch a match with my eyes open, I will also give credit where it is due. You should try the eyes open bit when going to games.

Forget Last Year (I wish I could) How Many Times This Year?

I was more meaning losing by a drop goal but I take your point.

This could give us the platform and confidence to kick start our season but we’ll see

We have looked far better attacking wise this year with the structures Furner has put in place

We have but then we’ve had long periods in most games where we haven’t looked close to scoring, we can’t maintain a consistent threat or apply consistent pressure.

Have to lay some of the reason for that with our halves and the end-set options being taken.

We also look a lot better with a human wrecking ball on the left. When Walker comes into the line and you’ve got Hurrell outside him, other sides look terrified.

There are signs that the defence is improving for stretches of games. The team do need to look at damage limitation when we're on the back foot though - preventing the needless penalties, avoiding one-on-one misses, and stopping teams marching downfield against us straight after conceding a try. It's not all about the goal-line defence, but this needs to be better too.

I would agree in the main but i still think we look vulnerable on our own line when being asked to defend for any period and Cas made so many uncharacteristic errors yesterday at crucial times to keep the pressure off us particularly in the first hour. Good teams in good form simply won't do that.

Better signs though and the win alone and the manor of how we got it means plenty to be positive about.we need to back that up now next week and keep raising the bar, that's the challenge now.

Thought Hurrell caught out of position a few times in defence. We looked half asleep on our own line at times. The sheer bloodymindedness not to concede just isn't there..

I think prevention is better than cure, and we’re still inviting sides up to our try line with alarming generosity.

Crucial brain farts at key, momentum-changing moments in midfield are killing us, and then we look very vulnerable when we lose the possession battle.

It is what it is. We are going to continue to be frustrating to watch until we get the +4 quality signings we need and the younger lads get more experience.

When we run out of puff and subs we look very ordinary.

I want to see Tui back in the side and performing well; he is pretty good going forward. Furner alluded to shoring up the defensive structures on the edges, which do look to have improved; perhaps he wants to reintroduce Tui once the system is better set so he isn’t so exposed in D.

Spot on

Doubt we'd get him away from HKR now.

Great to jag a win in another tight game. Next 8 are HKR twice, Wakey twice, hudds, Salford, London and another home games v Cas.

we are looking very short of bodies but it's a key part of the season coming up and we need to be more like 2017 in the tight ones than 2016 or 2018. The top 2 look a real cut above and then I think Cas are a step above the other 9 who I think can all beat each other on any given day. Winning the tight ones could still get us into the top 5, losing them could see us scrambling to stay up.

It looks like we’ll be okay by season end, but at the same time as you say, there’s no room for complacency.

Getting Ward back will be a boost and Crosby, maybe even Ablett, could still add something to the side when/if they return. We could do without picking up any major injuries in this next set of games too.

I know they beat us but looking at Hull, Id say they have bigger problems than us at the moment!

Definitely ,the last few weeks have papered over some big cracks that appeared again tonight. I like Radford but maybe he has taken them as far as he can now.

Got to be looking at 5/8 there minimum.
