We can all see our best games are with penky doing 80 mins, how the chuff Calland can't see it beats me?

There are less and less of us seeing it every week now. Crowds will drop below 1500 soon and then we will be in total freefall.

I agree with a fair bits that's been said. What I found disappointing about today was for the first hour or so we wernt all that bad. We built a useful 18-6 lead , saw barrow come back to level things up and then regain the lead. Ok we gave away a couple of soft try's and threw some loose passes but I thought our commitment and attitude was good. It was just the last quarter that annoyed me. We seem to be masters of imploding in the latter stages of games. Whether it's down to our fitness that isnt good enough or a mental thing but when was the last time we played well in the last quarter ? On a playing front cherryholme and White were our best players today

Lacklustre ????
You couldn't have chosen a more inappropriate word if you'd have tried !

Just 16 men available for the match, 18-6 down at one point and unable to make any interchanges for a lot of the 2nd half due to no fit players on the bench ....

I think 'remarkable' would be a better choice.

It's ok saying all their tries were scored down Haleys side..but bringing him off didn't make a blind bit of difference. Both Holly and Jones were shifted out there and guess what...they both let in tries down that side. Any team could score anywhere on the line at the moment cos none of them can defend. There are somer serious problems that need addressing at the club. And it ness to start with finding out why the players don't seem to want to play.

It just showed more tactical ineptness by our coach. Fair enough bring Haley off he was having a stinker but at least re-arrange so we have someone who can defend out where Barrow were constantly attacking us.

In the cold light of Monday morning yesterday was a disgrace, a Team that cannot play 80 mins - too many oldies, poor recruitment, poor tactics, poor defence need I go on. Never seen the Shay empty as quick even in the dark days of 2003, and it will get worse unless the Board gets tough with the coach and the Team. Forget SL, who wants to see a Team thrashed every week, we've been there and got the T-Shirt.
Why does Penky only play 40mins when Holroyd plays 80 (he came as backup,has been a super player especially end of last season, but not to play every game). Div 1 is staring us in the face, how many will be at the Shay then? Get a grip before it's too late, the only consolation is the Bulls got thrashed yesterday too. Ok we have some injuries but that is no excuse.

Staff or players? Staff - a couple. Players - yes but i can see we are carrying far too many. I just try and be honest.

Because our coach has a rigid game plan that dosnt lend to adapting to a players form.

The thing is if we get into Super League we will build a completely different team its just we will not get there now so we will have to carry on being gash in the Championship unless we make changes. Thanks to certain players in our squad for ruining what little chance we had of getting into super League
