Has kelly lost the dressing room?After last nights display it appears he has trouble finding it.Mr kellys last job was defensive coach to ireland r.u.Maybe he should consider returning to the emerald isle.I for one am fed up of one man,down the middle rugby.

I rest my case M'Lord.

We won't go down, but we may struggle to make the top 6 if we put more performances in like that.

Our defence is sloppy when defending in our own half but this comes on the back of needless penalties. We need to improve that area of our game and stop giving stupid penatlies away on 4th and 5th tackles and stop giving away careless high tackles away.

We struggle to get field position because we recieve the ball and start our sets on the 10m line and we end up kicking on our own 40 and Fev start their sets on their 30m line.

Our forwards didn't look interested last night - they laboured back meaning backs like Mort, Maden and Stanton were taking our first 3 tackles and that rarely gets you on the front foot.

Our play the balls are slow and we have no pace around the ruck, even when Durbin came on, he didn't attack their line enough. We didn't seem to want to 'take a chance' until the last 10 minutes, we didn't ask enough questions with offloads and 2nd phase play - when we did, we made breaks and found gaps.

We should beat Batley on Monday if we cut out the silly errors.

Oh, and it would be a massive mistake to get rid of Kelly in my opinion.

Durbin doesn't attack the line enough! When he does he or we usually score

I agree, same with Jock. I think Stanton's non try and Rudd's try came from Jock running from dummy half and taking the ball to the line.

That for me is the crucial thing. it's not a 1 off, we do it week in, week out. Cost us big style last night - especially in the 1st half which I thought we pretty much dominated.

one of my biggest moans of Kelly are the interchanges, we seemed to be piling them out in the 1st half - surely that must be part of the reason as to why we keep falling apart in the 2nd half of most matches.

Don't think we will go down but Batley is looking like a must win looking at the run of fixtures coming up...

Halifax (h)
Widnes (h)
Featherstone (a)
Gateshead (h)
Whitehaven (a)
Halifax (a)

Think we might be waiting for that first league win at home for a bit longer though.

because Widnes are burning along at the moment, aren't they

They're much the same as us at the minute, don't know which side will turn up.

Have put on another post on here the only thing i blame Kelly for is that he accepted the job after being told who is backroom staff are??? no manager would do that at any sport at any level???

I watched the game on sky when i got in last night lots of shots of the bench (or morgue!!!) no life no action and that was our beloved assistant coach as well, i seem to remember he had much more passion on the pitch??

Just another thing on loan signings and signings?? Its no secret that within the game there is no love lost where the Rowleys are concerened lots of players dont like them and so wont come ... Again like i have said in the past its so easy to get rid of the outsider AGAIN Tony Benson??? and now Neil is getting the stick ....time to look further a field this time me thinks???

But whoever comes is going to be told the same as Kelly. "These are who your staff are." Until there are changes above the playing and coaching staff nothing will change.
