Sounds like an exam question for a masters degree. Discuss in no more than 10 thousand words. My feeling is that we've let things slip through a number of unambitious and unspired coach appointments at all levels of the club. Blease and Arthur were a huge leap in the right direction and despite the mixed start to 25 I think things are changing for the better. You posted somewhere about being worried about recruitment given the uncertainty around Arthur's future. I couldn't reply because the site is very wobbly, but my view is that whether he stays or not we should commit to the intensley physical style he wants us to play and recruit players with that in mind. Any potential incoming coach could make a choice on that basis.

Excellent performance, forwards were immense, Connor / Croft combo light years ahead of anything we've seen in the recent past. 


Still overplaying in patches which invited Wigan back into the game, but close to an 80 minute performance. 


Said before the game if we are to lose then make Wigan beat us, rather than hand it to them. 


A well deserved win which we need to back up next week. 


Final word on the standard of refereeing. I could count on one hand the number of PTB's Wigan were onside, he kept telling them to move but did nothing about it. The ruck speed was dreadful (as usual) - again, all words from Smith and no action. 

It's so frustrating. 


Glad to hear the pack went well.

That was a very good performance in terrible conditions.
Forwards were very good Palasia, Jenkins and Oledzki impressive and whilst Bentley made one mistake his work rate was once again excellent and for me better than McDonnell.
Croft/ Connor has got to be our half back pairing from now on.
Miller again very good with the odd couple of brainfarts as per the norm from him.
Still not convinced Handley is a centre but full credit to Lumb apart from the dreadful mistake which led to their try, same goes for Hall who misread the play.

The pack has nothing to fear from anybody at the moment. It was great to see us ride out the 2nd half wobble, stick with it, and get the reward. The challenge now is to keep replicating the effort and concentration. Despite all the recent negativity we're heading in the right direction.

to be fair hall has misread plays throughout his career!!! 
it won't change now
