Real difference was that Keighley appeared to want the win, we looked as just there making up the numbers which is an attitude problem. We had many full time players who looked as they had never trained together. As much as I'm concerned about the display and lack of direction on the field you have to question how much the coaching staff got them up for yesterday? The rested / injured will change the team greatly but why were we so under cooked for a cup game?

It looked to me like some of the fringe players were very rusty which is natural given the lack of reserves games available. Having a new halfback pairing didn’t help either. Ryan was having only his second game at fullback so the spine of the team was completely different.



Our defence wasn’t as good as in recent weeks either and lacked a bit of intensity. I think we expected an easier game than we got. Some of the fringe players didn’t do their causes much good.
