I don't think you have a must win this early in the season, but I certainly think it's a dare not lose game. 3 defeats from 5 would take all the feel good factor out  of the club


 Fev are hit hard by Injuries at the moment. They're having to play Addy & Aekins in the halves at the moment. Tuimavave sounds like he has a serious Injury too. Reading their fans forum sounds like they're getting bullied in the pack. However I expect a response from them, especially at home. 


We really need Ebon back but I'd be trying to make things as simple as possible. I don't think throwing the ball about when out confidence has taken a hit and out half backs look disorganised and not geing. Our pack should dominate theirs. Go back to basics of keeping things simple. I'd drop Meadows and put Lilley with Keyes and try simplify things for them too as we've looked very disorganised. 


Big 3 games coming up against Fev, Eagles in the cup, and then fax. 

Think we're really missing dorro and also appo. The replacements lui and waine we haven't really seen but maybe it's time to freshen things up and give them a go. 

It did cross my mind whether Waine was here because of Appo and losing him unexpectedly has unsettled him. I was expecting him to be a real handful but so far he has been pretty ineffective.


Key for this week is attitude, are the players prepared to try and win every little battle and 1% effort areas? 

Waine certainly doesn't run the ball in as hard as Appo.  Liu looked OK when versus Hunslet before he had to defend at centre.  He runs good lines so I agree,  maybe he's worth a shot.  Do you drop Fulton or Gee?
