We are killing Kenny Baker playing him prop. He's a 13, and needs to play there. Tilleke should have played. Bent is 10 stone wet through, someone mentioned earlier in the thread he could prop, well no, he couldn't. The signing of Levy Nzoungou was absolute madness. Why throw your money on a lame duck?
York 'Middles' ran over us, as did Leigh & Barrow. If you can't compete in the pack, then your half backs can't compete, either.
We miss Craven, badly. Feel free to come @ me.

I wouldn’t say Barrow’s middles particularly ran over us. Thought we lost the game primarily through our inability to deal with the threat of Miloudi as much as anything. But for Leigh and York I would agree it was the case and it has the potential to be an ongoing issue. Not convinced putting Tillleke in will make much difference though it’s probably worth a try. Agree we need Craven back in the side, hopefully makes the Newcastle game.
I can’t watch every game but the ones I can’t watch on tv I listen to on the radio and tilleke being a young prop isn’t going to be at his best but seemed a little off the standard, if not playing him why not loan him out to a league 1 side to give him minutes so when he does play he’s match fit

Tilleke is young and raw, but there's no point in leaving him out when we are short on size up front. We might as well give him a run of games, it would be a steep learning curve for the lad, but it's no good leaving him kicking his heels, week in, week out.
Barrow made more yardage than us, though it was a game we still could have won, with a bit of luck and a left edge that could tackle.
Anyway, on to Newcastle.

Maybe give Tilleke a run, alternate Fozzy and Brown, and put Kenny where he belongs as a running loose forward.
Our attempt to batter a defensive wall down has to stop and look for some holes ! If Adam Lawton can go round it surely others can?
Said in any earlier post Baker is never a prop and to suggest Bent can play there is madness as he just isnt big or aggressive enough. Tilleke must be in with a shout in the next game.

Add to that that Brown is a real light weight and Fozard has been garbage every game it could be a long season. i have argued over recruitment from the off and looks like I got it right.
Fans are fickle and see a clip of a new signing scoring a try and think they are world beaters, even Dupree is looing bang average, which could be down to the long minutes played. Finnegan is killing what props we actually have by not utilising the subs especially Tilleke.
If Finnegan coaches the way he interviews then there will be trouble ahead.
