To be fair I enjoyed the game but far too many errors by both teams to be a classic ,God help HKR if Lewis goes down for any length of time , he really does pull it out of the bag when needed but can also come up with brain farts at un opportune moments in games . Must say watching our x players I’m more than happy with our squad now and with some added quality here n their we will hold their own against most next season

....Apart from the stroll past him for the try..........

Both Tanganoa and Hall were beaten on the inside resulting in tries

That’s literally one mistake in 80 minutes and discounting all the positive contributions. He had overall a pretty good game with a lot of positive contributions in attack and defence including last ditch tackle involvement. Very harsh if you branding players as having a poor game after a single bad read or mistake.

That may be all it takes for you to mark a player as having a poor game but I like to consider the performance over the full 80. Was it a poor error - yes. Did he have a poor game - no (and that was the original point I was replying to).

I think the issue is he consistently makes poor errors in defence.

He carried well and hit some good lines but also dropped some ball.

He’s a luxury player one we really couldn’t accommodate when we were in SL.

Maybe so, I’m not convinced with him myself. He’s been around for years and I expected he’d probably be further ahead in his development than he is. He’s still young and could make a good SL centre but there’s still work to do with him on his game. Whether that’s with trinity who knows.

Apologies I’m was at crossed wires I was talking about Kalepi.

I agree re Hall though too. Big year for him next year maybe career defining. He doesn’t seem able to settle anywhere and I think if he doesn’t impress next year he could be looking at Championship options for his next move.

While I do agree that it will be a big year for Hall, I do disagree with the claim of him not been able to settle anywhere.

He didnt want any part of the deal last year any more than what Dagger did. They were mere pawns.

Hall was never going to get in ahead of Opacic or SKD last year, and bearing in mind this year theyve brought in Hiku and Gildart. He was always going to struggle to get game time

I’d agree apart from the fact we will be his 6th club I think should he be confirmed for next year as expected, and also he wasn’t getting game time when Hiku was playing fullback at the start of the year.

It seemed he was actually being retrained to play secondrow.

I am not too sure about his history, but I thought we were his third club when he first arrived. After that I don't think his career path has been down to him, it was driven by others. It happens nowadays young players get moved here there and everywhere. Prime example is Esse, he must have played for about six clubs already

No problem at all mate. Hall still could make a good SL centre. There’s something there to work with but his next move could be critical. Though personally looking at Jack Croft I can’t see much difference between the two and what they offer. Croft has been filling in well at centre when asked.

I couldn’t care less about Tanginoa. After a full year injured he bailed rather than take a deal with us to help the club this season. This after I believe being one of the highest paid players at the club. When he decided he didn’t have the stomach for it I couldn’t care less how he goes to be honest.

Spot on

Bang on.

On HKR, I could never understand the Hiku signing (especially after his time at Warrington) to play full back, seen as they already had Evalds, when that didn't work they had to find another position for him, that being centre, so CH became surplus.

Personally I thought the bulk of the blame lay with Lewis, he over read the play and slid out leaving the gate open behind him. The gap was too big for the inside defender, Tanginoa, to get across and close, maybe Tanginoa was somewhat at fault but the fundamental error was Mikey Lewis’s. He broke the cardinal rule , ‘The ball is the threat’ and he slid before it had gone past him!

If Ollie Russel is a cert for us next season I’m one happy bunny after watching his second half performance against Les Cats yesterday, great repertoire to his game after Clunes went off for a HIA . Will only get better the more game time he gets under his belt ,as Watson starves him of game time by the looks . His kicks in play were superb and really helped bring Hudds back off the canvas for a second half rally

Totally agree had a very strong second half, as the Huddersfield forwards decided to have a go. He won't find that an issue with our forwards. On that performance I'm looking forward to him playing in the RW&B.

We were out yesterday so haven't seen the Shudds game yet, and having criticised Russell recently then I'm now looking forward to seeing him actually do something, so will try and watch it tonight

Not for me Never took the line on once Need a half with a running game game if we are making top 7 next year .Mr Ellis words not mine

wonder who 5pm signing is

I was told a name yesterday had signed. Though I wouldn’t post or mention it I think the majority will be very happy if it turns out to be true come 5pm.

If it was a worldy they'd build it up a little more wouldn't they?

Still, exciting times.

Excellent.


The return of Tom Lineham.

I was told it too but I'm not saying anything.

I don`t blame you Timmy, this thread isn`t the place to be posting rumours.

Surely that goes against the thread rules?
