I have to agree with this.



Even going back to the friendly on Boxing Day, the score was comfortable enough, but it wasn't until Lino went off and Smith went into the halves, did we step up a gear.



Right now, a 3 year extention for Lino, is very generous to say the least.



Potentially, Smith, Gale and Dagger are probably the ones in contention for the half back spots, and if they work, then I'd stick with it.



I hope to be proved wrong, however.

Dagger has proved his utility value at SO but I personally feel he’s not a permanent SO.

Gale might be the answer if we can get him on the park.

I’d like to see a Gale/Smith partnership given a few games.

If that’s not right try Lino/Smith?

Time will tell but I acknowledge that Smith at last stepped up against Leeds - can he do it week in week out?

Still see a lot of Keighley fans on SM when the topic comes up making mention that Gale had no shortage of effort but wasn't killing it against champs teams. His mind is probably still whole but his body might just not be doing it anymore maybe?

I guess we will have to make our own minds up when he does get onto the field. He’s come back into a full time environment so that may help bridge a gap. Hard to say tbh.

And we don't need him to be running the length of the field. We need him to manage the team.

Exactly. Finn wasn’t the fastest but he had the brain to get the team over the park - as does Gale.

True but if Dagger and Smith get another shot and do well then we may have found our solution.

Finn also had one of the best three-quarter lines we have had down at Wakefield ,You have no need to run with a 2 to 5 like that .Think a 7 needs more than a brain with the team we got

Well Thomas is playing for the reserves

4 of us going

The game tonight could be defining with regards the coach and team. The performance will show if we have actually turned the corner or if the Leeds game like Salford were just outliers in an otherwise disappointing season.

It's still a disappointing season. A few games don't change that.

However, a win, or even a competitive game shows there is something to work with.

Some will of course just jump on the scoreline and if we don't win Mash and all the players are rubbish and don't try, but there's far more to it than that.

I think it depends on the performance for me, obviously a win would be great but even if we can compete with them for a full 80 that would be a positive for me and show that we might be on to something but if we get blown away then yes I will be calling yet again for the coach to go.

Pollards Plaice is about 50 metres (if that) further down holderness road, on the same side as east park chippy. East park isn’t a bad one but there’s definitely better. That’s great about you and your wife. Hope you have a good trip tonight, although not too good

Fair comment

Win tonight and Warrington rebound and whip Cas then it puts an interesting slant on things.



Could be level on points with Cas by next week...

Technically that is correct.....but even I wouldn't have written that down.



The vultures will already be circling above you to explain why that cannot happen.

Liam Kay at Loose forward. Only prop and second row left and he has got the set .

Liam Hood FFS

I see Atoni is back in there. I am hoping the arrival of Big Dave and his spell away has given the guy some motivation. I liked what I saw on boxing Day and if he could get back to being that player it would be good.



As for tonight, I have a feeling we will put up a scrap. The bookies giving us 18 start is within us to cover that I believe.

Gale is actually out on the pitch warming up. Shock.

2nd try came from Hood’s error. Sooner his contract is ripped up the better.

The Coach as got to go after the way the ball was moved last week .Then slowing everything down with Hood on the pitch ,shows he is picking from the blackboard not what is happening on the pitch
