Johndeere Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Friday night was a victory but by no means a classic, we lacked the killer ball We had all pressure and couldn't finish , We don't have a problem in the forwards We just looked clueless when in Dewsburys 10 meter. So many sets ended with nothing When Dom plays well that's the key I'm sure he will come good but on Friday he was no where near the form we all know he possesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graham fisher Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Poor game between 2 poor teams. Is that your strongest 17? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we would probably have Gledhill and Lillycrop in our first 17 as well as Ainscough! Plus, I am not convinced that Farrell or Manning (unsurprisingly in his case) are back up to full speed yet. Crookes is not a winger, despite him playing well against you lot. Oh and Hemingway is not an adequate replacement for anyone at acting half back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep The Faith Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 Don’t forget Davey missing too and cowling he’s been our best centre in defence but come 6-8 weeks time our best 17 could be finally out on the field when Gledhill & Lillycrop are back http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

phildog Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Best 17; if Cowling is one of our best 2 centre' (I believe he is, superb tackler) who misses out? If Crookes isn't a winger, then neither is Ainy. (BTW watch the highlights and see how much ground he made on Morton up that hill...had the intercept been 5 yards further back he's have got him, surprised me!). If Gledhill and Lilly are our 2 starter props who makes way? Rowe has been back to his best, Ward has been no slouch, Holland had a smasher on Friday. Back 3 from Day, Manning, Farrell, Harrison and Walker should be back there...what's Tom done wrong on his outings....having to drop who? We're all the best coach on here, good job we Don't have to make the real decisions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all the best coach on here, good job we Don't have to make the real decisions! It's all opinions, surely that's what a forum is about. I agree about Cowling, but not sure Diskin does. I think Galbraith is more effective attacking, but weaker defensively! Hemingway (I presume that's the Tom of whom you speak) was slower and more hesitant at acting half back than both Leak and Davey. It slowed our movement forward and gave Dewsbury a longer time to stop our attacks. Holland had a decent game on Friday, but at the moment I do not think he is dynamic enough to replace a fit and raring to go Lillycrop or Gledhill. Crookes does not have the positional sense yet for a winger, certainly not as good as Ainscough's. Agree though that all these things are easy to state on a forum board but much more difficult to sort as a coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Bristow Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I've been hugely disappointed by Holland so far. He looks like a machine but has very little impact with ball in hand - similar to Chris Molyneux in many respects. Hopefully there's some improvement in him, but he's got a long way to go if he wants to be a player at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
