phildog 649 Report post Posted July 21, 2019 A 48-12 loss is nowhere near as bad as it looked at half-time. The thing that bothers me is the 'sticking a pin in the board' to decide a)who plays and b) where. We have 1 ball-handling forward, who by the way is team vice-captain (and the captain is unfit) but gets dropped. Then we have young Wood playing in the back row whilst a much sturdier, made- for-the position player Tomlinson gets stuck on the wing, and of course Campbell is missing (again) with no hint of injury or unavailabilty. If we REALLY must play a centre in the pack then Smeaton has been there before and has developed a physique well suited. I wonder if Diskin thinks 'well, sod it, I'm off in 5 more games, just let's see what else I can ruin'. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe he is saving his strongest team for next week's 1895 cup hence why Brownie and Campbell rested if not injured as TBH with side Leigh had out today we wern't going to get much change from the game so why risk your best players when next week provides a once in a lifetime opportunity if we win to play at Wembley as can't see RFL running 1895 cup next season but who knows. 2 Quote Stoopid Cup Winner 2012 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can see the logic, but I can't help thinking, it is a lot of pressure to put on yourselves though, putting all of our eggs in one basket, hoping to beat a side that has put 98 points past us in the previous two encounters this season.
