Ideas above our station? Not sure about that, think it's just an owner showing ambition and backing it up with actions, which I like. Maybe we just go back to the idea of getting back into SL to survive, is that idea within our station?

We approached today’s game with the game plan we have for the part time teams.

To try batter through the middle with 4/5 carries from first receiver.

It works vs most teams in this league but now for another full time team who can soak it up.

We needed an expansive game today but have tried to go down the middle and failed.

Now last couple of minutes and referees has given us 2 x penalties after we’ve been starved of them for 88minutes.

Just one game.
Tough to go there with some players missing.

Will do us good to realise there's more work to do.

Some of the comments on FB are ridiculous.

I'm talking about players not turning up today, been out enthused in every department, thinking we're already there without putting the graft in.

Toulouse were always going to come after us and we showed up woefully short and dare I say under prepared.

I don't think that has anything to do with how we travelled though.

Dare I say it, we've really missed Lino since he's been out. Our last play options were so predictable today, add that to our passing was horrible at times. So many players were taking the ball above their heads or by their feet, it just wasn't flowing at all today.

Fair enough mate, get what your saying.

Not sure about anyone else, but I had almost forgotton what it felt like to lose

Rather get a loss out now than in the champ final.. Onto next week.

Absolutely embarrassing. Better thrash Fev next week.

Got to give Toulouse some credit , handed us our asses this evening .

Managed to watch the game in an off and on way on my tablet and we were second best in everything .

The team are allowed one of these performance given the 15 straight wins in the league in my opinion .

May do us good for the rest of the season in fact .

Nobody but nobody catching us at the top of the table and we have the post season at home .

Could be a tricky Grand Final mind if it's Toulouse .

Losing isn’t a problem providing we learn from it. Full time team , injuries and sweltering heat … all helped to show our weaknesses . We def need a half back going forward …. Kay isn’t the answer , Gale struggled today … tbf they all did , and not convinced Lino would have made that much difference . We need to be sorted for the run in and the vital last game .
