| Quote Bigredwarrior="Bigredwarrior"We need to put it into some perspective. We started last night without our first choice fullback (Tomkins) and our first choice reserve full back (Escare). We started without one of our first choice wingers (Manfredi) and our other first choice winger playing out of position in the centres (Burgess). We started without our first choice scrum half (Leuluai) and our first and second choice reserve scrum halves (Powell and Shorrocks). Our 4th choice scrum half (Woods) went off early due to injury. We started without two of our best props (Flower and Clubb) and without one of the best second rowers on the league (Bateman).
Despite all of that and playing with 3 subs for most of the game we almost came away with a win. I'd say quite confidently that with a few of the above in the side, Lockers and Tomkins performance would have been even better but they seemed to take on all of the responsibility and were only guilty of trying too hard. It was even Lockers bomb that led to our last try!
The young lads have done the club and their families proud but it's too soon to expect so many of them to play together and expect to beat a Warrington side who might not be on fire but who had won 6 out of their last 7 games, compared to 3 wins from our last 9.
To scapegoat Joel Tomkins for not getting the win last night is laughable! Big picture please folks!!'"
Fully agree. We've been down to the bare bones in the squad, we are starting (hopefully) to see some of the senior players return week by week. Judge Joel in a strong line-up. |

I would be good in a strong line up, there are plenty places to hide...

It's about doing your own job well. In a strong line up players like Lockers and Joel can focus on doing their own job to a high standard instead of having to take on a role that others should be doing. Joel is not a stand off but his qualitiy means he can fill in and cover to an acceptable standard. Same with Lockers who is simply the best player in the league when he's fit. The man can do everything there is to do on a rugby field! |

Spot on. I'm a massive believer in the 'do your job' approach as it helps focus everyone. Having to ask players to do a bit of everything is a recipe for disaster. |

I'm excited by the prospect of Shorrocks and Williams to be honest. I just hope Shorrocks can make a good recovery from his current injury. |
