Effort first class can't ask for more than that - tackle well, run hard, play to your strengths, you'll always have a chance. What gets me is, against Wigan twice and St Helens we've matched them and had a pretty good game plan serving up 3 great performances with a team missing quite a few regulars. In other games against 'lesser' opposition we've looked clueless, leaking tries and generally looked poor. If we keep this level of effort up we will surely get a win or two soon but credit where credit's due, well done for tonight.

Then it's an attitude thing then is it not??

So what does that performance tell you where the problems are, with the coaches or the players?? Last week good prep, same 17 picked from the week before and a crap performance, this week our so called better players ruled out, lot of disruption, yet we play like that?! I've said on here before that Chester has too many options and it's messing with his head, what the hell is our best 17?!!

Before we get too carried away with the better attitude and increased effort!

We fell away in the last 12 minutes of the 1st half and again in the last 15 minutes of the 2nd, that suggests a lack of fitness especially in the 1st where we had more ball and made less tackles.

If we had better structures and attacking shape to go along with the effort we just might start winning the tight games by scoring when we’re on top. We’ve put in the odd performance like this during the restarted season most notably against Wigan twice, let’s hope we can back it up next game!

Absolutely, all I wanted was the actual players who took to the field to perform to a higher standard than they had been showing, and not keep making excuses which were ready made. Attitude and effort should be a given anyway, but tonight's performance makes things even more frustrating really, there is and has been more than enough talent in this squad to have won at least 3 or 4 games since the re-start.

Exactly, a great show without Miller, Arona, BJB, Pitts, Tupou, Gigot etc, etc, add to that all the covid problems we keep hearing about, so it seems we have a decent SQUAD of players after all???

Think there's a reasonable consensus on here that we have a decent enough squad, the issue is how well are they being coached

Bishop in for Senior, happy for Croft to play.

Re: Take a bow lads : Fri Oct 09, 2020 8:36 pm  

I'm so proud of them tonight. Also am stuffed with humble pie for my criticism and asking for Chester's sacking for the first time last week. I just wanted to see us play some decent rugby league and we've more than done that tonight. Don't let that defeat knock you lads.

I had plenty to say about coaching myself lately, so I'm not going to be a hypocrite, but come on fella, that wasn't a badly coached side tonight.
I was also thinking...how come we've played Wigan twice, we've got at Helens twice, Leeds twice, London twice.? Not played Hull kr yet. Or Salford. What a bloody fixture list.
Not a thing to criticise tonight. Pity we coughed up a set restart on walmsly. It ultimately cost us the match. But there we are. That was what I pay my season ticket money for and I don't think it's fair to be criticising coaching after that

Well said it was alot better today commitment esp and it was good to watch knowing we where always in it but lets not get carried away we still had a strong team out held a good lead against a saints team thst was probs 50% below par and we still lost we have had other games like that (hull wigan)and followed it up with garbage again next week is important for me lets plsy like that 2 weekon trot and hopefully stop this run of defeats
