Given the way we play, I don’t really see us being consistent with the current players we have. We will always have good patches and bad patches because we don’t play the same way other teams do. We will be up and down, hot and cold. If we start to play and it sticks we get more confident and are brilliant, if it doesn’t stick it can compound and get worse and worse.

I just think it is unrealistic to ask for a consistent run of performances, there is no indication we play in a way for that to happen.

should we not adapt how we play to achieve consistency? that's what good teams do after all

It is consistency in September and October that we need

really? sure about that? carry on like this we won't make the play offs

It wont be needed unless things improve

We're four points off 2nd, having played Wigan, Saints and Wire away from home. Form has been patchy (at some points poor) but I suspect our fortunes will improve with the weather.

Inconsistent yes, incapable no. I'd be a lot more concerned if we were consistently beating the likes of cas, Leigh and Salford but utterly failing to put a dent in the likes of saints, Wigan or Catalans. So, while we clearly have problems they could be ones far more difficult to turn around, i.e. if the bulk of the players clearly weren't good enough.

the reason we lost to the likes of cas is we gave them a huge leg up by being passive and on the back foot. we invite pressure.

we need to get on the front foot early, lay down a marker and dominate. I hate these ridiculous tactics. why invite teams to score points??? each to there own I guess

It seems to have escaped everybodys attention on here that our defense hasn't been as passive the last couple of weeks. It isnt massive aggresive in your face but it has been moving up and giving away less yards than previously. Seems like everyone is on the "Get rid of passive defense" bandwagon without watching what is actually happening

Exactly that. Just because John Wilkin blathers on about it on SKY doesn't mean it's true. Our defence, by and large, has been very good all season. It's the volume of it (largely the result of silly errors) that has been the problem. It does seem like some want us to mirror the high pressure 5 drives and a kick stuff that is fashionable around the game, notably at Hudds and Wigan. But ask yourself how our approach has fared in direct opposition to those teams? Pretty well I'd suggest. I'd much prefer us to try and stick with some good football while endeavouring to reign in some of the sillier high risk stuff. As I said in a previous post dry weather will help tremendously in that regard.

no aggression, no go forward. frankly if there is an improvement its very little

Our defence bar Warrington has been pretty good.



Im not a huge fan of rush out defence anyway and it seems the kings of that type of defence have been found out a bit this year (saints) with teams playing around them.



What’s cost us games is daft errors.



I don’t want us to play the percentages like Huddersfield, its just not a brand of Rugby I want to see. And I don’t think it’s overly successful in Super League.
