When Eccles mentioned ‘Jack’ I was thinking but Rourke’s name is Josh isn’t it? Had completely forgotten about Campo.

consistancy is the key

They said our squad wasn’t good enough for super league.
They said we’d ship 40+ points every week.
Well take that! Oh..hold on. As you were.

I didn't think they were even that bad tonight. That's worse isn't it?

It is in the sense that they had quite a few youngsters in and weren’t as physical as other teams, (although when Lissone came on we struggled with him) however whilst this allowed us to play out of our 20 a bit more and create more chances we still struggled to get points and although not overpowered this time, Croft, Akers and Miller cut though us like a knife through butter. That all points to it not just being a physical disparity but a quality one. I did think Butler was revved up tonight and the usual suspects worked hard. Natoli did well for first game of the season O Leyland had his moments ( save his kicking from the tee) and Meadows looked more lively than before but basically we are where we are a championship side in SL getting hammered every week. It really is the worst of all worlds.

Yep. This is the issue. I wonder if our squad would have been any different if we hadn't got promoted.

Re: Leeds away : Sat May 04, 2024 9:18 am  

Ii fully expected 60 against us last night, I hopes we could at least score twice. What was very evident was difference in size between the 2 squads would say leeds probably man for man were 5-10 k bigger than opposite number.
On the performance might look different on tv but individual missed tackles leeds capitalised. Lack of impact players able to hit line at any pace.
Positives, we had spells in attack when we actually looked OK, meadows and Olli in the second half were causing problems we just couldn't finish it.
Only 2 penalties given away, and I don't think a single set restart in the game that is a definite improvement
Positives!
