is Shenton garbage after Falou made him look like a wheezing old carthorse (given that Falou being a class player) ???????

Yes. Shenton is absolute garbage and well over due his retirement

[CasRus]

I actually missed the game so can't comment on his performance yesterday but in general I really don't rate Olpherts in all honesty. Not the worst player and certainly not bad for depth but I do hope that next year he'll rarely be in the team with Feki hopefully being back, Faraimo coming in and Eden potentially being kept

I concur with this as Faraimo/Eden are good enough and better than Olpherts however Feki remains an unknown quantity as to whether he will ever start and what he's going to be like after such a long layoff !! Mind you Clare might be pushing for a regular spot !!............ NOT !!.

I think Qareqare would have taken a couple of those passes that Clare got last night and gone for the line with self belief. Sadly Clare has lost his IMO

I wonder why with the super League coaches on here. One loss and we are bagging certain players.

No one to every high ball, evalds included. None made every tackle, no one made the right decision every time.

Tbh, we are in a shot for the top 6, who'd have thought that without a regular half back partnership and covid.

Whatever your thoughts are on our wingers there's one guy I would've loved to have in my team and he couldn't tackle a Sunday lunch - Martin Offiah.

Nuff said.

Cant see him retiring nothing been announced.

The difference for the matches we had Eden and Turner as the centre winger partnership was noticeable sadly that didn't last long enough

Couldn't tackle s hot dinner or pass. But give him the ball and he'll score.

It's rare to get a winger with everything. Makinson is probably the closest in our game. But then he grabs your junk every now and again.

[Hepworth7]

Offiah and Makinson no doubt outstanding players and we're and are superb finishers but look at who they have or had playing inside them, and covering for them defensively, they would always have scored tries, but not so many if they'd been relying on Turner,Richardson and Shenton for service. Mamo coming in is for me a plus but we need a decent half back.

[FIat Capper]

I'm no Statto but I'm of the opinion the Turner/Eden partnership has been our best wing pairing this year. Their prolific spell also coincided with Danny R playing well and they may well have worked well as a collective because of how they complimented each other. Every piece of that jigsaw is required to complete the picture.

[CHTiger]

Not saying he is to blame for the defeat just like I didn’t like week, but I think his performance today just proves the point I was making last week. Another awful performance from Olpherts

[devontiger]

True

[Mucky1978]

Garbage player.

[Nobody]

Can't catch a simple pass.... Is that his blind side

[Fumper27]

It was that bad it became amusing…particularly when he got a great pass for Pete, had an open line 5 yard out and managed to get tackled 12 yard out.

[betts21]

His yardage out on backs plays no way out weighs his lack of ability to catch or pace to outpace an opposition player started ok but has been on a very downward curve! Greg Eden over him any day.

[The Firm]

Maybe marginally better as a back up player than Clare. As a starting Super League player? Not as long as he’s got a hole in his backside.

That was awesome by Pete as well! That was confusing why he did that, me and my mates was so sure he was about to go in but decided to not run in the massive gap for a try and just ran it sideways!

[gateman]

the lad is a strong runner not fast enough for the wing, i think he would go well in the second row is it worth a shot ?

[CHTiger]

His attacking game could suggest he could, but he can’t defend, the lad doesn’t know how to tackle and you obviously have to do more tackling in the second row.

[mart0042]

He certainly seems to have lost his confidence. Does a couple of balls that would have been tries. Did a lot of hard carries but no threat.

Taking a harsh look at tonites team, there's a lot carrying injuries and out of form. It's clear why Radford has cut the squad, apart from Jesse he's right. Matagi with the odd good hard run isn't enough.
