Some of the themes here aren't all that different to the relentless McNamara threads on our board. Some lay the blame entirely at his door, some blame him and the players, some blame the board. And then, when we go on a string of victories, some go utterly quiet.

Want a laugh

Matterson was jeered by supporters as he made his way to the post-match press conference.

He said: "The fans have got the right. It is embarrassing. To be up 28-12, I thought we had come through a fair bit.

"We weathered what they threw at us and from that far in front you've got to win the game.

"Full credit to them, our blokes weren't good enough – and it's not good enough.

"We have been decimated by injuries and we've used that in the past, but it's no excuse today.

"It is massively disappointing because it's a knockout game. It's a bad defeat. Our blokes obviously didn't want it enough."

Matterson felt preparations during the week had been good and insisted: "Personally my position hasn't changed.

"I'm confident we can turn things around, but the guys in the changing room have to do better.

The thing that has annoyed me most is that whenever an opposition team kicks the ball to our full back to collect, the full back runs in and takes the 1st tackle. Then second tackle normally the wing man is the only man behind the ball, so takes the next tackle. And on many occasions its the 3rd tackle and the forwards still arnt in position to take the ball up. In my eyes this is the waste of having a props.

Yesterday we started with 3 props, which meant Huby played 30mins before getting subbed, for me this is just bad use of subs.

Also whenever we have a play of the ball in there oppo's "20", the team is almost in a defencive line, all stood next to each other.

Also the amount of dummy runners when the players taking the ball in, they are almost none existant and this makes it easy for the defence to know who there are tackling.

Some of these seem down to basics and the fitness of the players to be able to make dummy runs and get back onside again.

Bring back Stuart Raper
