Couldn't care less about the game when week after week we're trying the same old crap that doesn't work. I'd be happier trying something different even if it didn't quite work: 1.Litten, 6.Hoy, 7.Charles, 9.Brown, 13.Balmforth and Smith on the bench would surely give fans something to show we're attempting to switch things up but we'll just stick with the same thing again and not use the most promising young lad in the squad.
I've already cancelled magic weekend and catalans away in the summer, the clubs not bothered and just going through the motions. Saved myself £700 or so.
The only game, we looked threatening, ball in hand was when Nu played 9, and Hoy was 6.. Vs Warrington.. I simply cannot fathom why he has reverted back to Houghton 9, and Brown to 6.( Or right edge). Brown is far more effective in the middle.

Wouldn't suprise us to have a right go this week and go down fighting, seems to be our season pattern.
Poor against Rovers, tried hard against Warrington Poor against London tried hard against Catalans. Poor against Leigh try hard against Hudds Poor against Rovers....
Sad that the best we can have is a battling defeat.

I just feel like it'll be a Jake Conor masterclass unfortunately

Repetitive selection madness.
People still naming Okunbor in the starting line ups, most are as bad as clueless tony.
Smith is fixated on his belief he cannot field more than 2 young lads at a time, currently Stavely and Martin. Its this strange stubborness thats holding us back.
We d look alot better with Balmforth and Jebson in there. Rather than continuing with woefully out of form players and square pegs in round holes.
Cannot be bothered to watch while hes in charge, speaks in riddles

Unless any of the posters on here have any inside knowledge I’d suggest leaving selection to the people being paid to do it. Despite the expert insights displayed on here, there have to be solid reasons certain players are not getting picked, and those reasons do not have to be explained to anyone other than the players.
