Preparation may have been better if our coach had concentrated on his own team and not spent Friday night in Castleford.

I totally agree, trying to learn and improve from the best coach in the business. Total disgrace.

You may or may not like what I say Hudds but to be honest RM at Cas on Friday night had nothing to do with the prep for the game that was taking place less than 24 hours later, if it hadn't been done earlier in the week then it was too late by then and using that just to have another pop at DR won't improve our away performances in the Capitol imho.

More importantly where were the lads between 6.30 and 8.10 on Saturday night, because they weren't at the game for large periods especially early on, that's for sure.

As GFB says it's not the first time when going to London, we perform so poorly that not only do we not win, we don't even get close to have a chance of winning and that's not a reflection of Fax overall as a team.

Something must be wrong in the build up, it's not a critical dig, it's the truth and needs to be looked at if at all possible with the constraints of having a part time squad who have varied secular work commitments etc.

I'm assuming they travelled down in the morning. Quite a common phenomenon, being stuck on a Coach for 6 hours and trying to shake off the travel sickness.

Yep, not the best build up sitting for hours on the coach and we all know how you feel after one of those trips, hardly in the best condition for going up against a team as big and good as TW can be but going down the day before might not be an option with the work commitments I was referring to.
It will interesting to see what RM thinking is on it.

Very pleased to see on to rm engaging with DP etc. It can only be good for long term professional development . If he learns a couple of nuggets it can only be good . Those that want to remain in little Halifax mentality need their eyes and ears opening because we haven't done much on our own now for many a year. Embrace change and never loose ambition. Our last Bod forgot both and they are now gone.

Beaten by a better side on the day. Was definitely a lesson in how to play rugby at pace and tackle even harder. We just seem to struggle against the top sides and don't have the pace or flair to trouble these top teams I'm afraid.
It's where we are at and we just have to get back on the horse next week against Sheffield.
Charlie, my old friend, I have put the plans to invade Poland on ice for the moment!!!!
Hope the injuries to Tyrer/Murrell and Grix are not too serious.

Dave, I thought Fax did ok once they adapted to the way Toronto play,don't be to downbeat,plenty of water under the bridge yet, we played as if Jukesy had returned for 70 minites today, till our fitness won the game , the score was very flattering to Leigh.

As for Poland , my daughter Kell go there next month,very apt.Hope to see you soon.
