Great defence, lacking cutting edge still but that display would beat most Championship teams, 2 new signings next week.
:shock:

Exactly what I thought on the way home this evening.

Hopefully after todays performance one of them will be Durbin, I was impressed by him and Stanton today.

i thought Durbin had a quiet game

Longstaff played well and never shirked the work

i was impressed by Stanton too even though he looked like a little kid chasing an adult when we was tackling pryce :lol:

Wigan should try and get a refund for Pryce!






It occurred to me yesterday that newts do not need to be taught to swim, but children do. Newts do not need to learn, but children do and lastly, newts do not suffer from obesity, but children do and so the idea is to create something that looks after every persons and every creatures well-being - T.Barton March 2005

Watson knealt on the back of Pryces knee all part of the game and it worked.

Jimmy Taylor for me today was immense i'd like to see the stats on how many drives he took in and his tackling must of been up in the 30s.

Well done lads!

Agree about signing Durbin. Looks like he's very vocal, got great vision, good kicking game, decent pace & a good pair of hands. For a young kid he really bosses the game and he'll give us a great extra option at scrum/dummy half.

I still think the missing link is an experienced starting stand off. (I'm sure Ridyard can improve, but he could probably do with someone to mentor him for a while at this level & take the pressure off his shoulders a bit). If we solve the stand off slot, I think we could actually win this league, coz I think all these young lads will improve as the season progresses. Just hope Kelly has one more signing up his sleeve....(& Fingers crossed for a 6).

If you get somebody to pass both ways you will do fine.

Get Fred's DVD and just note how many attacks went down the right compared to the left. It will frighten you.

In a nutshell we just lack attacking prowess and killer instinct in the opposition half. Our rugby lacks width and is played very much around the ruck, if that does'nt change then by half way through the season we will be in trouble. I am sure NK is very much aware of what he wants to achieve and what the players are capable of but the early warning sirens are already starting to sound. It does'nt matter how well we defend and how many tackles an individual makes etc etc, points win matches and if we aint scoring them then we are in trouble.

Our first three scores last week had no rugby in them whatsoever and it was more than apparent then our current strike capability was limited.

I think Armistead can open up NL defences

Marsh has some rugby in him but looks like he needs to trim down
