In the first half I thought our defence was outstanding. Albeit we kept putting ourselves under pressure but at one point we kept you out for around 7 sets without getting out of our own half. It's a lot easier to start throwing a ball around when losing 46-14 with 20 minutes left with nothing to lose and that's all Fax did and were close to stealing it late on.

I don't get why your team keep putting themselves under pressure with stupid kick offs. Ok you get some of them back but not all of them and when you were opening up as easily as you did today surely it makes more sense to get the team down the other end of the field. Especially at 0-0. Fax did the same at Whitehaven when 24-0 up after half time put a kick in which never went 10 and changed the game.

Repeating myself here but two words:

STAND OFF.

Too late now but you have to question MC's thinking considering he was a back. Maybe he had a bad experience with a stand-off who wouldn't pass to him and has made it his ambition to try not to use them in his teams?

unfortrunately I missed the game due to work, sounds like penky had a poor game, I cant help but feeling he has become a little complacent with being her so long, really disappointing result but at least widnes lost.

I'll give you credit and especially to the fans that made the journey down, more in hope than expectation (thats the impression i got from the ones i spoke too). I wish we cold play simple rugby at times. All the teams that have beaten us haven't had to do anything outstanding to do so. Were either brilliant or awful, no middle ground whatsoever.

Were a soft touch in defence and very very rarely build any pressure,repeat sets etc.
