Not strictly between them 2 ... Its just Wilkes name was mentioned in a previous post ... I think the pack is going well and it has been proven against 2 big packs in Hull and Shudds last week...

Yeah i agree Bibey is a prop but i said id have him in the side i picked on his ability to off load the ball and if an injury occured in the game could slot into the second as cover...

Pace wins you matches and thats a fact... Had Grix had or Gleeson that extra yard of pace that David Hodgson had last week against Shudds we would have scored 2 tries and a lot of our attack is focused on the right hand side... The wingers are not seeing a lot of the ball buts its the brand of rugby we are playing and the lack of ability in our ''centre play'' to put the winger away... You only need to look at Cas... We are a better defensive unit but they have a lot more pace in there back division and score a lot of points because of it... Owen and Dixon aint the greatest of players but there pace gets them out of trouble and over the line whilst Shenton is another with plenty of pace to burn...

Fair enough but at the moment i dont think we have much to lose especally in the next 2 matches might be worth trying out a few new combinations...

Balony!



It can help but it is deffo not the be all and end all as you suggest.

I agree with the orignial poster about our problems at 6 but not with the solution.



For me we have played our most controlled and effective (if not most attractive) rugby with Martin and Drew playing 6 and 7 - often rotating.

It literally is ... Without the pace you will loose the games you could have won such as Shudds ... Pace is used in attack and defence and all the top teams have it ... Even the poorer teams such as Cas who cant defend for the life in them use it to get out of trouble and score more points than there opposition...

Bump - they were shocking tonight especially down the right hand side - tbh honest id keep only Gleeson and Blaymire on current performances... A major clear out is needed !!
