Thought Balmforth did well but he isn't a 70 minute hooker, Moy has work to do, particularly his link up play, seems to catch before drawing a man.

Charles is no where near ready, Grix should have taken him out of this game.

Also played Aydin too many minutes, starting to miss tackles then sin bin, hardly played Ashworth (unless injured), Sao must have been injured too.

Crazy how many injuries we get every game.

Id try and sign Eseh and release Sao.

Wingers were great, need to use them more with their speed and height.

Id rather have Laidlaw than Gardiner

I’d agree with most of that

Think Ashworth went off shortly after an attempted tackle he made and caught one from Horne.

Houghton calf, Ashworth back, Sao HIA and Lane calf.
Wonder how many we'll get back for next week, none knowing our luck.
What a miserable, miserable year.

Dire yet again.

The decision to go for a barge over rather than spread it wide with a two man advantage pretty much summed up our season. Totally clueless in attack.

I have to agree with the comments about Charles and Moy. I hope they go on to have good careers but they are nowhere near ready to be regulars. It's unfair on them to be playing every week. Moy's neat break at the start but then losing the ball in the tackle set the scene unfortunately.

I've no interest in hearing Grix's comments as it'll be the same bullshit we hear every week delivered in his slightly smirky matter-of-fact way.

Well done to Tex Hoy. He's gone really well at Cas and is clearly enjoying his rugby after Tony Smith shattered his confidence.

I can kind of forgive the attack as after 10 mins our spine was made up of a hooker at 7 and three teenagers. What I can't forgive is the lazy, disinterested, half arsed defending.

I'd love to know what they do all week in training because practicing rugby league clearly isn't one of them. Felt sorry for Herman he was yet again the best forward on the pitch but has to deal with crap around him.

Sorting out the Strength and Conditioning is absolutely vital for next year. Little wonder we look so unfit and suffer so many injuries with the current set up. Our Head of Strength and Conditioning used to be the Sports Scientist. Now I may be wrong but surely they are completely different things.

Re: On to Cas : Sat Aug 31, 2024 5:47 pm  

Noticed before kickoff how half hearted our warm up was, and no surprise we then started the game on the back foot.

Loosing so many players during the game of course didn't help and aI thought the ref was terrible and spoilt the game for both sides.

Add in our weakness in the halves (not knocking Charles because he is learning but he was caught out today) and no surprise it was another defeat.

That and 2 new assistant coaches, Grix should be no where near this team next year

Re: On to Cas : Sat Aug 31, 2024 5:51 pm  

Really soft underbelly in defence, we were cut open way to easy. Still poor decision making and errors are proving too costly in energy and scoreboard.

Probably our most important signing next season for me. We need most of the new signings to be playing to be competitive in all the games.
