Setting the right culture has to be the most important thing even if it weakens us slightly on the pitch. That said, we need to sort out the Jordan Lane problem. He is sticking out like a sore thumb, he makes no impact when he carries it. He drops off easy tackles and he makes errors. Either put Scott to the second row or give one of the youngsters a shot.

Need a big following at this one, Trin away is always a tricky game for us. They've been improving and Gale will have a point to prove. Hoping we can keep the run going and get on a roll into the Cas cup game.

I'd have been really worried, had we not won the last two, pressure would have been massive going into the game on the back of 9 defeats and a Wakey win would have put the team in trouble.
Pressure off now and I expect us to play with some confidence and win this game.
The Savelio one isnt that much a mystery as some are making out, go back and watch the games and watch his attitude in defence, flat footed and downright lazy. Showed terrible attitude defending. I get lanes not been great , which i put down to probably poor confidence caused by poor form. I thought Lane was alot better against Wigan id be interested to see hos tackling stats in that game, hopefully he l keep it up. But his attitude is alot better now compared to Savelios.
Smith knows whos taking the club for a ride and the ones not giving value for wage are being moved on. Griffin and Taylor have certainley knuckled down under Smith.

Like most games this season, his stats were poor, 33 tackles but 6 misses, its his attacking stats that are even worst, 7 hit ups for 28 metres.
His best metres in a game was 72 metres, Savelio on the pitch is streets ahead of Lane, but if his attitude isn't right I ca understand him being dropped.
I just hope we are looking to move him on soon, no point him say on the naughty step for the rest of the season.

Lane grabbed and missed Farrell and Thornley in the first half resulting in breaks.
