Just seen Dunnings interview hes watched entirely different game to myself.


I think I watched a totally different game to everyone else. I appreciate I'm an eternal optimist but hear me out.

They made zero clean breaks all game. They scored 3 first half tries from us gifting them the ball on tackle 1, and 3 second half conversions, the first of which was following a tackle 2 penalty while we had possession.

We made way more tackles than they did. This is why we looked knackered.

Biggest disappointment for me was the manner in which they scored close to the line.

We lacked discipline with the ball - you just can't give the ball away in your own 20 continually and expect to keep the other team out continuously.

I totally believe we were the masters of our own downfall, and we beat ourselves.

Sorry to be pedantic but the made a clean break when Joe Brown took the quick tap restart in the second half. That might have been the only one tho.

I think this is a good summary of my thoughts. Perhaps harsh on York but I came away thinking we had lost that game rather than York had won it.

York didn’t have to do much due to us surrendering the ball so easily in early tackles. We looked good when using the ball and attacking them but in typical fashion we then made an error deep in our own half giving them easy points for minimal effort and it told although with that York were still kept to a number of penalties rather than put a huge score on us.

Not particularly impressed with the attitude but I’d like to think we cannot possibly drop as much ball again. I’m not pressing the panic button just yet. I’m expecting a few more losses to come but if we do self destruct again then the pressure will start to build on MD

I was expecting dogs abuse so happy for the minor pedantry to be honest!

The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!

If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/

Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

Thank god only when you find a religion that passes the truth test!

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity

Would you capture it or just let it slip?

Its scary that it takes a player to understand more what the issue is than the coach.

I feel incredibly sorry for Mark...he's well out of his depth and been put in a position where he is going to be made scapegoat in 4 or 5 games.

He was the cheap option before investors came on board. I dare say they are probably lining someone else up already.

I think the club knew exactly what they were doing when they appointed MD. I agree, the club took the cheap and easy option hoping that Dunning would get the backing of the fans and string some results together at the end of 2022. That didn't happen. He is now given an opportunity to build his own squad and shape the culture of the club during the offseason. I want him to succeed but if we fall to another defeat this weekend the dark clouds will begin to descend. I'm hopeful that we will get a decent performance to show some of us doubters that he has the capability to get the team firing again after such a poor performance at York.
