These results are unacceptable.

We finnished 6th for god sake in middle 8s leaving 750k to play with

Batley and london were not but yet can field a team to beat us also above us in the league.

What as the money been spent on is the question. Was meant to be new fittness equipment and nutrition but we dont look the fittest of teams.

Big mistake not going fulltime this year and is going to cost us at the end of the season when attendances fall as the product on the field is poor

A very good assessment as always GFB and the same as I saw it today. London played on Muzza's lack of pace out wide and Johno is totally wasted at fullback and no threat to the opposition in that role. RM still tinkering with his run on side and once he gets that right then hopefully things will improve. Our discipline was poor today and we gave London far too much easy possession and territory. Good sides punish you for that and London did just that. Still early days but we need to start winning soon or we will start to lose ground on the top 4.

Exactly this ^

While I am looking forward to our visit to the Shed Stadium next week, it really could go either way.
We are massively wrecked by injuries *especially in the backs* more injuries today & 10/11 players out.

As I have said on our board, 8th now, but I expect that to improve as the season goes on.

Please, turn up in numbers next week, it could be a real humdinger of a game & the atmosphere when our
sides meet is usually electric.

C U there.

OK.

We didn't really click until the summer bash last season, see you down the shay Championship is buzzing atm

Miles will be back very soon at fullback, when he is it will give us a better idea if and how RM intends to fit Johno, Scotty and Gaz in the side.

Maybe a little bit harsh but I can totally see where you are coming from. The way we ended the season and the performances in the middle 8's, are a long way off what we are producing at the moment. We set the bar really high and I expected us to kick on this season instead after only 5 games we will have our work cut out to make the top 4. Again I get what people are saying about it been early days but our problem this season is that its not Leigh and Bradford that are topping the table which will happen by the end of the season. Instead other teams who are in the mix for the other 2 places have set off like a house on fire and we have to hope their performances drop as the season goes on.

It all seems a bit willy nilly at the moment and I know we were crying out for expansive rugby but there has to be a happy medium and at times yesterday some of the offloads were crazy, like we had hardly had the ball and a scrum 10 metres out and Sharp tries to offload the ball in a 3 man tackle when we just needed to do the hard yards, London pick the ball up and score, again summing up our season so far.

We have to improve massively to get to the standard we were at at the end of last season.Even that standard was well short of what was needed,so as the o/t says..gonna be tough now..

We just need to settle down, it's a tough division this year and that will set up whoever makes it in to the Super 8's. We can still get in there we just need to start winning, a lot easier said than done but I'm sure we have the personnel to achieve it.
Not sure what Bracek has done to constantly be left out, he's not going to set the world alight but his solid work allows others to flourish, still not sure about Barber and now without Divo.
How did Bennion go yesterday?

Bennion looked pretty good, a couple of big hits and took some stopping so a pretty good first outing.

Excellent, cheers for that.
