Well if their is a middle eights maybe then we might win more games on the trot and we should have all our good players back I bet the list to not keep certain players is growing

All the lads catching it in the neck (Moss, Smith, Atkin ) are all potentially good players but only Atkin you would say would be first choice in their positions? At the time non are good enough to step into a weakened side which even at full strength is only mid table at best. Salter & lee are what we ask of them utility options & back up bench players. We are just unfortunate that we have to use all the afore mentioned as starting players. All the above would do Ok in a side on thier own but are lacking as a collective. It is going to be hard going but as we proved last week there is the glimpse of a decent team in there.

Nothing complicated about it, and as has been said too many times, the pack is not collectively good enough and way too small. The adage the pack wins you the game and the backs decide by how much is so true, and recruitment in this area has been a big big failure. Last night we were bullied again, and you can bet your bottom dollar that the other teams in the eights will recruit before the split, and if we don,t we are in real trouble, we are in trouble now. If and it,s a massive if, our key players are back in time we have a chance, but cannot rely on that. Very worrying times.

First of all I want to say last night was one of the most welcoming grounds in SL and the robins fans I spoke to were bang on. I feel for you lot at the minute because it takes me back to Cas before 2014, no passion, no bright spark and no direction. If I were a HKR fan I’d be seriously questioning the effort of some of your players who looked disinterested from kick off. All the best for the rest of the season

Apart from that, journeyman Lee offers nothing in any position either in defence or attack. Salter was complete outclassed. Moss, for all his efforts, is just way too small. Walne is rubbish. Bobby tried too hard. Vaivai went missing (probably having to help Moss too much). Quinlans kick off was just unacceptable. There's a reason Smith has been loaned out by Saints.
The only players worth anything tonight were Atkin (no surprise) and Greenwood.
We are badly missing Lunt, Carney, Heff and Mulhearn and Lawler.
Cas were always going to bounce back but its the manner of our disinterested defence that disheartens me. Roll on July and Lunt's return.
I was there last night and I think you are doing an injustice to Cas. They would have blasted most teams away in that 20 minute spell. Some of the Rugby they played last night was sublime.
I agree the Atkin situation though. He has been one of your better players this season and especially with McGuire out it's baffling why he's playing out of position.
I can't see you getting relegated. All your injuries seem to be to your best players but once they are back you'll be ok.

Who would replace Tim ? And what different would it make we would still have the same squad, we have had bad luck this season but unless your going to have a better replacement Shaun wane or somebody then sticking with Tim is ower best option Tim nows where going to be in middle 8s and will probably have some recruitment coming plus most ower players back so if we stay up then it’s job done
