Holdsworths wasnt much better

We stopped doing what we had done successfully the previous weeks :-

* Shipping the balls quickly to the wings to stretch the opposition defence

* offloading the ball from the forwards for 2nd phase distribution

* effective kicking game pinning back the opposition to their 20

* taking our chances

* completing our sets

correct Middleman:

we lost the arm-wrestle and so conformed to THEIR style and plan of play.

Bradford and Cas will now try the same : we need a firmer impact in the forwards to protect the play-makers (and that does not , repeat not, mean bringing back Feka).

Bet you found the return down the M60 as distressing as me.

Not distressed , more disappointed , but I guess no more disappointed than the Players themselves , they'll be kicking themselves as it was a missed opportunity to prove to all & sundry we'd turned a corner, WE know they can perform better than Saturday Night , now with Catalan's turning Warrington over we're back to 10th and our ' Yo-Yo ' Tag remains ..

Didn't see enough of the game to comment, but Holdsworth didn't look his sharpest in attack. The whole Ratchford Stand off/centre debate, he's our best kicker in open play and one of his best assets is wasted in the centres!! Centre could still be the way forward though.



Did we really lose the arm wrestle? What little I caught on TV, we seemed to be running hard in the forwards. I agree, please don't bring Feka back yet. He needs time in the U20s, if he proves his fitness then he can come back.

Anybody else think this was just a hangover from the French trip?
