It's a test for the coach, I agree. We're not playing well at the moment other than in spells. He's paid well to sort these issues and I'm sure he will.



As an amateur, if it were me, I'd start by focusing on improving our discipline and completion rate. By being poor at both were surrendering territory and possession. That impacts everything, including attack and pereceived 'fitness' (with emphasis on the word perceived cos no one has the first clue how fut they are).



With an even share of possession and territory, we'll win most of our games because of the quality of our players. I appreciate the way we play is high risk but there's a time and place. If we clean those up, well be top 3 easy.

Personally, and I'm probably not the only one on here, there is a definite sense of trying not to panic at the moment.



I've been happy enough to go along with the whole 'playing poorly/still winning' line and the 'look how Leeds did it last year' thing too, but if we are being honest, then its fair to say there is a bit of a rot set in at the moment, which needs stopping pretty rapidly.



Performances are getting worse, certain individuals are way, way off form and some are looking, I hate to say it, a little old and past their use-by date.



I'm sure Tony Smith has it all in hand, but at this point in time, I'm a little worried that there are 3 or 4 sides who are just that bit stronger than us at present....Not that there is much in it - A sudden change in form and we might just be back to our exciting best, however, at present, I'm probably half empty, rather than half full.....

We need to go back to basic rugby league.Leave the fancy stuff out.

if we'd have cut out the silly penalties,the game might have been a lot closer today imo

It is the basics that we are not hitting on, a few players are a little out of sorts.. nice to see Myler getting stick on here even when he went off early on!!



It's April and nothing is won now and three games is all it takes to finish top dogs of SL



But some players are getting close to the end of there careers, but I think we have enough coming through the ranks to stop worrying, nailing season tickets to trees, even throwing our shirts on to the pitch!!

Didn't think ball control was too bad today in the shape of rauhihi moves. As I've said elsewhere I'm very VERY worried about our inability to defend.



I don't know if we've gone into this season attempting lo replicate what Leeds did last year but that's a dangerous game to try. also if it's some weird way to get some 'harder' games than last year, it's not working

next 6 fixtures (league)

22nd april castleford home

6th may salford home

20th may wakefield away

26th may widnes at etihad

3rd june HKR away

10th june leeds home

im sure we will be well and truly firing after these games and the opening to the season will be all forgotten

A few things for us to remember;



1/ We are not as good as we think.

2/ Every team needs 2 half backs on the pitch at any 1 time.

3/ Our pack is too old.

4/ o Brien is our hb alomgside Briers.

5/ This hammering has been long overdue

6/ Anymore trips to Australia should be scrapped

7/ Hodgson's best years were at Huddersfiels, and yet, he is still 1 of our best playes.

8/ Westwood ( alongside Nat Woods) has been our best signinging in the last 20 years.

9/ We miss Louis Anderson......see number 8.

10/ Smith, by his record, will not be here next year.

11/ Catalans are a very under-rated team, and in Scott Dureau have ( Alongside Young Sam at Wigan) the best ball-playing-thinker in the game

12/ Bridge is a Hb and not a centre.

13/ Myler should be immediately given back to Widnes.



The team is going nowhere fast, and quickly becoming the Man City of RL.



Won a packet today, but that was bloody annoying.

deary me

GOB didn't actually play today.

Get a grip for god sake
