We were fit but didn't respect our opposition. We were playing a side that didn't even finish top of the Championship, hadn't really recruited, and had lost their playmaker. I'm guessing the players thought the same as us, that we'd cruise it. To make it worse, we scored two quick and easy tries. Everyone switches off, and never switched on again.

what we are lacking at the moment is a ruthless edge that rips teams apart, the start we had we should of been more ruthless and nasty we have to have an appetite to kill of teams within the first 30 mins, we've done it before

I understood that we now had the last piece of the jig saw?

Not time to panic just yet. Playing the promoted team is always a banana skin. The stats show we had the better of the game in all areas aside from handling errors and tries. They scored 3 I think diving over from close range?



The biggest area of concern for me was how porous our right edge looked.



Brough went ok and put on 3 decent assists through gaps you could fit a bus down.



Big test of character coming up vs Saints, but Chester will have rightly done his nut in the week - I think we will compete but end up falling short of a Saints team who played so well vs Wigan

lol..



one game and the knives are out..





if they ain't panicking, they ain't breathing



apart from the trolls at this forum, this crap is by far the most irritating component of the board.

Completely agree, don’t get me wrong it was a poor performance but some people just spout s***.

No Jowitt, if he is available for selection then this is very surprising and difficult to comprehend, can only presume he must be injured

Yes I am surprised that Max is not included.



He looked very good in pre season too.



He is a our most natural full back and his passing has resulted in a few class tries for TJ in the corner.



Hope CC gives him a decent shot at the position this year.

If this is the case must mean Jordy will cover at hooker?

Can Horo cover 9 as well or, did I dream that he'd played there in the odd game

Agreed. Scratching my head as to what Max has to do to get selected. But luckily it's not my job.
