Yep, with how we've been playing we've been winning based on individual plays rather than a disciplined team game. With the short turn around I'm embracing it and going for a squad that I feel offers more skill and line breaks. I get Harrison coming off the bench has worked for us in the two games so far but he's shown up as our best player so far this season. Get him in from the off.

The Phantom Horseman Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 The problem with demanding lots of changes based on the Batley game is that the reason we struggled in that game was down to lots of individual errors spread across the 17 players - it wasn't one player making four or five mistakes, it was about 12 or 13 of the 17 making one error with a couple doing so twice.

YoungBanno Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Pretty sure I read/heard in an interview with Webbo that he plans to utilise the whole squad through the season to keep everyone fresh and to play certain players against certain teams. Let's just trust his judgement. He's been good so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sentoffagain2 Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 I think Locky has played well this season probably our most consistent forward.I do agree we have not been playing as a team and individual plays have got us the win.If all fit i would try somethuing a little different.Hall Blackmore Welham Minns Brown-Holmes Chisholm-Kopczak Jones Ferres =Davies Day Lockwood. subs Bussey Harrison Hardcastle and Parata. Hardcastle could be sub Back/Backrow forward. Unlucky to miss out would be Gale who has done litte wrong Cooper always has a go,and perhaps Field may deserve a go at some stage.I would hope the younger members of our squad will get some game time during the season when we can afford to give them the chance.

Get him in from the off. Webster was asked about this on RoversTV after the last game and he said it was partly down to body types but also that if Harrison comes on as a sub he can get a natural breather at half time and he can then play big minutes deep into the second half as he's our fittest middle. For instance against Batley he came on after 24 minutes and didn't go off again until the 74th minute. So he played 50 minutes whereas for some of the other middles it was more like 35 minutes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marklaspalmas Posted March 31, 2021 Author Share Posted March 31, 2021 Frankie Halton disappears off everyone's line up after one quiet game. It's not an easy job, fitting 23+ into 17, is it? https://www.fevarchive.co.uk/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Well. Just checked on the RFL Match Centre website to see if Ferres' name had been removed. It has - and Tom Holmes is in the squad. Doesn't mean he's playing, of course, but Fev and the RFL have clearly had contact about the game and you'd think the fact that the RFL has made the change means the game is going ahead. Brown, Manning and Gledhill all back for Batley, so their pack should be a different proposition. What frame of mind our players will be in, who knows!

The Phantom Horseman Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 More than satisfactory first half, Halton looking good, Chisholm, Gale and Blackmore very lively and a cracking try from Nu Brown. Gifted them a couple of chances in our own 20m but other than that we've been pretty dominant uphill. Hall off form with his kicking otherwise we would be out of site.

Mr Hammond Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Not helpful I know if you’re having problems but stream great for me. Decent first half, respect possession early second half and points will come in last twenty, Parata to fire once again.
