I suppose it all depends on what you want from your 9. But if you are wanting a defensive hooker with a high work rate then I'd say Jarred O'Connor would actually be above O'Neil at this point. (I don't think O'connor should be Englands Number 9 by the way)

Connor appears to be playing more on the left and Brodie on the right although they do switch and 'roam' during the game. Connor is the main playmaker/kicker at 7 - which is the reason he's shining IMO, he's finally been given a set role and position, he's cut out most of the nonsense he's associated with.

Well you cited what Wakefield and Leigh did on smaller budgets and in Lower leagues, so the same or less than them. if you want rid of loop fixtures theres only one viable solution because the clubs will not want fewer games.

You can’t without A. Having fewer games (the clubs wont go for that) or B. Having 14 teams which the clubs probably don’t want either.

Lewis at 6 and Connor 7 like they play for their clubs. Won't happen though.

If we're going by form then 6 & 7 should be Lewis and Connor. I've not been impressed by the incumbents at all so far this year, they will start though.

Wakefield will make the playoffs this year, they may even get higher than 6th

Only if you're thinking short term. The whole point if the IMG system is that it's not a one year shot at staying up, those teams coming up from the Championship would have time to build up. Loop fixtures need to get gone as soon as possible, look at the scheduling this year.

Like wise us with Hull KR - we were well in position to go on and win that game and messed it up. We should have won at Warrington aswell as we were the better side. As you say All teams will have had these games at some point (bar maybe Hull KR)

I'm pleased for Wakefield they are a good club, I'm also pleased for Daryl Powell who took way too much stick whilst at Warrington and I think it's clear to say that he wasn't the issue there

He won’t be

Saints have got Salford this week, haven't they literally just played them? the fixtures this year are just nonsensical

How did Frawley get on?

Seems daft declining the kick, just take a quick drop goal attempt then the clock would stop afterwards. Thats of you can do a DG for a conversion? Im sure ive seen it done in the past?

In 4 games time, thats why i said the next 3, which due to the marvellous scheduling includes Saints.

Our reserves coped just fine without him thanks

Dunno, it happens, coach says attitude, we were just off, too many errors, didn’t stick yo the game plan

Im hoping its just a bad day at the office, as you say we’ll soon see in the next 3 fixtures

He had his first bad game of the year.

Well done Saints bad day at the office for us, we’ll get two in two weeks

Weve not been nowhere near the better team tonight, id hate to see the error count.

Nah silly errors creeping back in, were just not at the races tonight, like always at the TWS

Thats more like it running direct and hard and playing off the back of that

You made the right choice Harry, this is a dire affair

Surprised me from Ash that he should have just ran it
