After another woeful, woeful performance, it's now time to start naming names and say who's good enough and who's not.
1. Jonny Woodcock - Injured.
2. Danny Mills - Shows glimpses that he can do the job but is not the player he was before his injury. Not convinced.
3. Menzie Yere - Menzie is Menzie, no problems there.
4. John Coleman - Not sure why the boy hasn't been given more of an opportunity, his defence was a bit shaky in those first few games we saw him but surely he's had time to work on that now? And he's an excellent goal kicker, our threequarter line is hardly pulling up any trees atm, give him a try I say.
5. Ashley Thackeray - Injured.
6. Brendon Lindsay - Similar to Menzie, turns up does his job consistently.
7. Aaron Groom - Hardly the world beater we all thought he was going to be, is he? He's been injured for the majority of the time but he's started to string a run of games together and now and let's face it, he's not that good. Thoroughly impactless today, if that's even a word. Hopefully he can turn it round.
8. Jack Howieson - Injured.
9. Craig Cook - Player of the season by a mile, I dread to think where we'd be if it wasn't for him.
10. Mitchell Stringer - Consistent performer. First name on the team sheet.
11. Alex Szostak - Injured.
12. Ged Corcoran - Sound kid but I don't really see what he brings to the team anymore. Used to give us some real impact off the bench, and even had a run of games at one point where he had the starting jersey, but I don't think he is as good as he was. Shame cos like I said he's a sound lad.
13. Peter Green - Not scared to put his head in but I've made more yards walking back and forth to the car park. Good in defence I'll give him that.
15. Sam Barlow - Good impact player.
16. Trevor Exton - Shows glimpses of what he's capable of, needs to cut the errors out of his game though and run at the gaps more. Huge potential, I think we'll see more from him.
17. Alex Rowe - BOOM!
18. Michael Haley - Good player.
19. Joe Hirst - Does a job, nothing sparkling.
20. Matty Brooks - I really like Matty Brooks, think he brings an extra dimension to our game when he's in the team, he's worth at least a place on the bench in my opinion if Groom must start.
21. Dane McDonald - Alright at loose forward but shouldn't be let anywhere near scrum half.
23. Tangi Ropati - Where has he gone? Done nothing all season, I think his head was turned over the Winter and I'm beginning to feel we should have cashed in the chips for want of a better phrase. Shame cos the lad has got so much talent.
24. Misi Taulapapa - More than happy with Misi at full back, solid under the high ball, reliable last line of defence and good kick returns.
26. Tim Bergin - Better than Richie Barnett that's for sure.
27. Richie Barnett - Save the best until last. WHY IS HE IN THE TEAM?! He's consistent I'll give him that, consistently rubbish. He's had one good game against Wigan which he can't live off for much longer, surely. How this guy was the try scoring machine he was in Super League is beyond me, maybe it has something to do with the reason he was banned for two years cos he certainly aint nowhere near that player now. He's a liability, nowhere near convincing under the high ball, very shaky in defence and he's not even that quick, which is supposed to be his forté. Rubbish against Keighley and arguably worse today. Get rid.
Ones I've left out of that are Kyle Kesick, Jason Mossop, Eddie Battye, Dan Hawksworth and Mark Renshaw-Smith. These guys must be wondering how they are ever going to get into the team if the same players are being picked week in week out regardless of how they are performing. Give the young lads a go, they really can't do any worse. The errors we are making are basic, so many knock ons, it's unreal. |
