34-30 FT.

They say the sign of a great team is one that can play badly and still win. Glad of the win but I'm not convinced.

That was dire. Two weeks running we let one player score three tries (or more last week). STILL showing pi$$ poor form.

I live in hope that there is a master plan that allows opponents to make easy yards against us week in week out, that involves poor decision making & handling errors ,but at the crucial time in the year everything will come together for one night only.

Really? In that case we must be the best team in the history of Superleague because we stank the place out! That was an awful performance

Re: Today's game. : Sat Jul 23, 2016 3:48 pm  

I made the mistake of paying to watch that garbage. Shipping 30 points at home against a team bottom of the league. Zero defensive intensity again, thats 56 points let in last 2 games. Reminded me of the Cullen days.

But according to Smith “It summed up some of the season, if you came to be entertained I'm sure you were,”.

Sorry, I wasn't.

I'm neither a glass half full or empty man, simply a realist. So, I'll say it as I saw it.

THAT WAS DROSS.

A first 20 minutes which we treated like a Monday morning training session, until Hudds woke up. Bugger all from the halves (nice of Mrs Sandow to pick her son as MotM). Hardly ever took their line on. Pack trying to take on huge Hudds pack down the middle was a big mistake. Backs look laboured.

We still believe our hype from the pre Easter form. We think we can just turn up, and we'll win. WRONG.RL doesn't work like that, these days.

If what Wires 71 said is correct about Smith commenting that we were entertained, I'm sorry too. Endless knock ons, in perfect (bar humidity) conditions, is not good entertainment. £20 wasted for me.

We need to improve rapidly, for next week. Remember HKR at the same stage, last year? We took them too lightly, as well.

Re: Today's game. : Sat Jul 23, 2016 4:28 pm  

Glad of the 2 points but we will need do be an awful lot better to pick up any silverware.

Re: Today's game. : Sat Jul 23, 2016 4:59 pm  

It's interesting to note that the top 3 teams all struggled this weekend. Wigan got beat whilst Hull and ourselves only scraped home in the last 10 mins. Now that could be down to fatigue, complacency or the weather. Personally I suspect it's a combination of all three. On the positive side today's performance should eliminate any possibility of us being complacent next week.

Re: Today's game. : Sat Jul 23, 2016 5:38 pm  

We won & have taken 2nd spot with no injuries, TS says Ratch should be okay next week.

If at the start of the season we were offered after 23 rounds 2nd spot only 1 point behind the leaders & a winnable semi final tie who would have said 'Yes Please' ?

Re: Today's game. : Sat Jul 23, 2016 5:39 pm  

Again unconvincing but a wins's and win.
