I thought they gave it a shot, but tbh our forwards are just not fit, we’ve come out of lockdown looking like a set of puddings

Missing a couple of forwards like Chris Green to come off the bench.

No, there were some pathetic calls but to say it was his fault, would be ridiculous.

I did but then again i aren't of a fan who's team has just lost, where most fans are concerned these days its always the refs fault.

FWIW i thought he controlled it well especially when it threatened to get out of hand, he was assertive and laid down the law and i cannot recall any major call he got wrong - obviously you will have done as it's your team but as a neutral i thought he refereed the game in a fair and controlled manner.

Wakefield's defence, mainly on your right hand side lost you that game not the referee.

A controlled manner good job then because I’d hate to see him have a shocker

Yes, absolutely no doubt our right side was where it was lost...a 19 year old usual left centre playing right centre and a full back who’s aspiring to play scrum half on the right wing...Catalans took full advantage of that and look a good side going forward...the frustration for me from Kendall is it took 69 minutes for us to get a repeat set despite numerous absolute stone wallers not given prior...also thought Tanginoa hit one of their players with a peach of a tackle that hit the ball but was given as a high shot but no replay on bbc...no question the best team won though..

Don't paper over the cracks
We were very poor, one going through the motions, others just second rate
They slackened off and we got consolation tries, looking like another turbulent few months. Again. Deja vu

Green is a forward...who is Smith ??

I think he may be referring to Greensmith who has played with Croft for the last 3 years in the academy, maybe put max to full back in that case, got to be better than walker who was consistently out of position.
Saying that, Hampshire on the wing, Bailey in the 1/2’s and Jowitt at full back works for me

Funny how all the neutral commentators on the bbc were all complementary on how we reacted to lady week and how well we did against an excellent side who will be challenging on all fronts...yet our own so called supporters just moan and be negative....
