on their day our pack can beat anybody . last night all of them were poor in going forward but their defense was still solid. the attacking play of the backs is just not there and the defence on the wings is woeful. I honestly believe it wasnt the forwards that the lost the game . we had no attacking flair. everytime that briers or monohan( think thats his name little fast blond one) got the ball they looked dangerous. our men in those positions looked clueless. riddell is a waste of space , amos is and sam and ainscough looked out of their depth.

The sooner Fielden goes the better, I still find it hard to believe that some attempt to stick up for him, he is awful truely awful. I think Prescott has a future along with O'Carroll, Coley is much better as a wider running 2nd row.

Fielden offers less than Coley in go forward at the moment yet we still single out coley for crtiscism. coley was quiet last night but not as bad as some people make out. Defence wise they are both missed when off the pitch. feka has stopped being an impact player, not once last night did he do one of his steam rolling runs and his defense is dodgy to say the least. Prescot was ok but he can be hit and miss and drops a lot of balls (I dont mean last night). We need fielden to go, and aggressive enforcer prop to take HIS place and to start with Prescot and Feka and Coley on the bench.

Fielden would do a resonable job with better support.
Coley must be replaced with a frontline prop like O'Meley
Feka is currently a waste of space
We have Prescott/O'Carroll who as they get older will continue to develop
I really think two props for next year is essential.

Fielden would do a decent job/is doing a decent job in defence. Going forward he is not effective, but how much of that is because he is being singled out?

Coley is turning into a decent enough "workhorse"

Prescott - as you say, can only get better.

Feka needs to lose some weight.


We need another prop yes.

i thought amos was ur best player tonight. he defended his wing well and did a few try saving tackle were he rushed out of the line to stop grix or who ever from drawing him in and giving it to king. TBH you could see from the first 10 minutes wire were up for it. i know we didnt touch the ball but we defended brilliantly with some bloody big hits thrown in as well. you could tell through the match as soon as morley and carvell came back on they were gonna tear you apart and thats what happened. but still i thought you played decently tonite and you should be able to take some positives from the match. good game n i can give some of my mates at shevi some stick now

Overall we got outmuscled and largely outplayed by Wire's forwards and thought that Morley lead their line well with both Andersons getting through a ton of work.

O'Loughlin was our stand out forward, again much of our defensive pattern revolved around him. I thought Fielden did ok especially in defence and we'll miss his work if/when he gets dropped. Going forward he always hit the ground facing forward and got quick POB's which is always a good sign. Feka is truley woeful, he reminds me of one of those players you see round kids teams where they always bring on a tubby kid for the last 10 minutes just so that everyone gets a game. His Dad doesn't sponsor us does he? He's flat footed and lazy in defence and so easy to target it's untrue. Hock had a very quiet game but the Wire back row played their part in that superbly. Riddel, I just don't get him, slow off the mark, POB tends to be slow - lots of shouts for forward passes when it was actually Riddels slow delivery. Generally doesn't look that interested.
