Good start would be having some of the ball, since first half vs Warrington seems all we have done is defend

I think we need to stop with the 'its a lot better than last season' now. Last season was a disgrace and shouldn't be a measure of anything. Over the last month I'd say our performances are back at the mediocre level of when Hodgson was here which still isn't good enough.


While Bell/Bachelor/Hill will be good additions I think the squad needs some further surgery or 2026 risks being another year of dreaming of the next year. Some attacking threat is badly needed in the centres for starters.

We had a week off so the tiredness is worrying. We are short in the 2nd row but let's not pretend the players sat in the stands are superstars. It's an antique Watts and Holmes, Lane who most are happy is moving on. 

Jed is good and a miss but we haven't seen him string 3 games in a row. 

There are also fit options such as Balmforth that seems Cartwright doesn't want to play. It was strange to name the same 13 given such a flat performance at Magic.

Bit harsh to say we are as  mediocre as under Hodgeon..... One more tackle and we would be 4 in the league .....I think people are expecting to much in a way ....Most had us in the bottom 3.....Yes we are in a bit of a losing run but way of from last year .... We are not good enough with the players we have to challenge the top 4/5.....Still think we might be around 6/7/8.....It's a building project on an upwards curve ......Let's get behind them ......

Leeds away isn't a gimme. We were about 90 seconds away from it, so even "mediocre" as you say is giving us a chance right now.
