The team shouldn't need a week of at this stage in the season. I think we're missing Apollo.

Also, I'm not impressed by Tony P. He's been poor a few times now and tonight I think he lost the ball three times and did very little in terms of go forward. Fas had a better game than he did.

Maybe he is just having a dip in form?

It's impossible to maintain a high level of energy and performance over an entire season, or even half a season. Leeds wiltered early, probably due to the WCC and World Cup and we're doing it at the moment.

This could be close to the truth.

We haven't looked a fit side all season - or not as fit.

I don't expect us to maintain a 'high level of energy and performance' over an entire season but we look half the team we did this time last season (when we had begun our 23 non-losing streak). We don't look like we have much energy or performance at all, really.

He is actually making lots of yards and being a big threat when on the pitch. I just think because of the cas game fans have got it into their heads that he should score trys for fun and rampage over teams making 40 yard breaks. When he doesnt do that they shrug their shoulders and say he is playing crap.

Someone who knows the score.

A good coach will realise when to tell his players to hold off individually. Yes, we would all love Tony P to play 60 mins a game at a high level of intensity for the entire season, but sometimes its not possible and thus, the coach will know when to tell them to lower their intenisty.
