Its great thanks................................
The problem is only half the team are clicking, after the Salford game its quite tough. So I am more bothered about the other players than how big Willie is................................................playing
Peter Gentle was rejected by Hull KR as their new head coach due to his lack of ambition.

Agree with Pugwash, Willy was great and looks to have so much class in the way he plays the game he can fit into any team and be a big hit. He himself expects to only get better with more matches so that is certainly something to look forward to. I honestly don't think he'll be one to lay down and let the team get beaten up, he was really giving it to his team mates behind the sticks after Crusaders came back in to the game.
Like Pugwash says though some players are just not finding their feet. Briscoe had one amazing season, lost form for one reason or another last season then this year he's really struggled again. I thought he didnt have a bad game against Crusaders but his attempted tackle between him and Webster that lead to a try was something 99% of other full backs would have made easily. There is certainly something not quite right and he's got to work that out for himself or I feel Justin needs to promote a youngster and give them a chance to make a name for themselves. Fox seems to have turned into Gareth Raynor, always running sideways instead of going forward, it is making him less effective and not the Fox that was in the England set up. I'm also concerned about some of Hodgsons mistakes, he apparently had a really good off season and big things are expected of him this year but still in heat of battle he comes up with plays that nobody else knows are on so the ball ends up going to ground.
5 games in though so not going to worry too much especially with some top players out until Easter, think once we get a few games under our belts with all the lads out there we should be a match for anyone. Still think 6th is a realistic target but certainly depends how long these injuries are out and how well the other players cope in the interim.
