| Quote Rocknrolla69er="Rocknrolla69er"Positives obviously the defence as most have mentioned.
Bit of a frustrating watch if I'm honest , mainly because of poor decision making in key moments of the game, I thought we showed abit of the brain farts seen under Radford. Panicked at the play the ball with our pass selections particularly in the golden point time, why we didn't give it to Brown for one more drive and then find Sneyd il never know, Sneyd and Houghton seemed abit asleep today with being vocal and getting set up.
I think McNamara has to find some assertiveness when it comes to taking Reynolds role in recieving the ball from Houghton then finding Connor quickly out wide, Houghton again seemed to ignore Ben and pick more established players which affected us going forward quickly, when we did do it twice second half we almost scored.
Couple of bits to work on, suppose it's good for Brett to see our clunky side early on and get it fixed. But not the end of the world.'"
Very clunky, but as you say it's only early. 5 points from 6 and in the CC QF not a bad return from the first month I guess but our attack has definitely losses some zip without Reynolds. |

Quite why bottom teams like Rovers get top 4 teams for extra games and top 6 teams like Hull get bottom teams I really don't know but it does nothing to enhance the competition.
Shoot me down but I didn't see much special from Reynolds and having missed most of the past 2 seasons guess what? He's missing again. Get used to it.
Hey Hull have a good team and a good squad for sure but McNamara? Living on his Dad's name and surely it's a matter of time before Swift is found out by Hodgson.
Out of sorts Warrington were vulnerable today but they had to improve and they did. There are bigger tasks ahead and we'll all have a better idea after the Wigan games. Actually especially after the cup tie because Wigan don't often lose when it matters.'"
First time on here and Zimmerman goes electric. |

By no means my first time on here and simply saying it as I see it.
What exactly do you disagree with? |

We've got to remember that except for Reynolds these are Rainford signings that Hodgson is coaching. This Winter had the least changes in the squad I can remember at the club, and it will take another Winter for Hodgson to really put his stamp on the squad.
At the start of the season I felt I'd be happy with us progressing from 6th to 4th/5th and from what I've seen so far we are capable of doing so. So not a bad start at all. |

| Blimey, Dobbins sneak a win and they’re trolling us! Couldn’t make it up. I’m sure Swifty and BMc are gutted you don’t rate them 
Difference between this and Fridays game is that our opposition didn’t gift us some tries. Plus Wire weren’t dismal for the full first 40 minutes. |

That’s a really good point to be honest. He’s working with what he inherited.
I think the early signs are good from BH, and it will only get better as his ideas kick in over time. |

I seem to recall Wigan losing a Challenge Cup Semi Final in 2016 and the Challenge Cup Final in 2017. I’m just trying to remember which team beat them when it mattered.....?  |

Really impressed with the defence changes.
Remember the many 'walk in' tries at the corner we used to concede, often with a 2 or 3 man overlap ?
Wire kept getting turned back inside despite having the most experienced & expensive halves in SL !!

Certainly hugely different performances in defence so far this season. Wire kept trying to out number us down the right hand side but it stood firm last season would have leaked a couple of try’s at least. Also we kept Austin out who previously we had a habit of letting score. |

Thing is, it’s still early days for all the new systems that have been introduced. I expect there’ll be improvements again, when players get even more used to their roles.
We certainly look a lot more sound , both in attack and defence, than we have done over the last couple of years at least.
Good thing is that we still have plenty to work on, and improvements in us.
