I wouldn't have minded trying Moon in the halves/Keinhorst at centre, or trying Keinhorst at hooker today but just doesn't look like McDermott will try those changes.

Today epitomised our season really, beaten by a team that was prepared to move the ball and was better coached. We weren't the best defensively, but not for the first time, a defensively weak opposition weren't asked enough questions by our amateurish attacking style. It really is woeful and summed up McDermott's plight of being totally out of his depth against better coaches. There is absolutely no point spending valuable training time on the paddock if we are just going to turn the ball inside for 5 tackles before we make such child like, unbelievably poor plays on the last. McDermott is gone at the end of the season, he knows it, we know it. What is making the end of the season so toe curling for me is the stubborn, helpless style of play that will be employed till the end of the season when we can all breathe a huge sigh of relief as we overcome the Giants of Batley etc. A few words on Sutcliffe who seems to be a much debated player after this game, I thought he was ten times better than Golding at full back. Safe under the high ball, and not afraid to take the ball up from his own line. As for Golding, he can surely only get better with experience, but his frailty under any sort of high ball has become more than a slight problem. At this moment in time we can get away with giving him game time, but become the middle 8's, he can't be anywhere near the full back position. As for his kick offs, whose bright idea is that Mac ? My missus would have caught every one, with her eyes closed, after three bottles of red wine, with her laces tied together, having being spun around 50 times. Leave the kick offs to Sutcliffe for god's sake.

After that I agree about McDermott, the whole swapping about bit and leaving on ablett and not playing keinhorst at all was madness. Our last tackle options were dreadful. We often go through sets with 5 one man unsupported drives. Then on tackle 6 - do we set up a kick? no. we try to play basketball like a group of men who have never met and taken speed.

If hetheringtom thinks we have little squad room and all is good for next year, he needs to give his head a shake.

The last 20 minutes were shamboiic.
They are out of excuses now. Have had 2 weeks to prepare for that game and come up with that. An under 12's team could have set up for a drop goal better than that.

Do we practice last tackle plays? Where is the organisation on tackle 5. If we honestly think there is any future with McGuire and Burrow at 6 and 7 then we are totally f*?£%d. Bring on the middle 8s and pray that we are not involved in the 4 v 5 playoff (I cannot see how it is titled the MPG).

For Fs sake at times Burrow is our on;y hope and why J.J.B is getting so much stick is beyond me

Because they were awful, Burrow especially so. He is no team player at all, with no one understanding what he is doing next. A little run here and there may look good individually, but that isn't his primary role, and dome one needs to play the role he should be.

JJB's effort was again beyond doubt. He was the man who got hanbury behind the try line and won the disputed drop out. Asking him to do 80 mins is a bit much. Pity we did not have a faster sub who could have come on and given him a rest.

Jesus we have no structure , thats not his fault he never has been a play maker , the frigging coach is at fault

Burrow is a headless chicken running across the field with an occasional duck and scoot forward.
As for JJB he's had his time but now he's done.

Some people on here are far too keen to keep bagging the same players. JJB's effort is unquestionable. Achurch made good yards and won more collisions than he lost. Sutty was solid at full back.

Burrow was at fault for at least 2 tries, but we failed to replace Sinfield, so Burrow plays in the halves. Golding, L.Briscoe, Cuthbertson were atrocious

Love to know how you worked that one out.

First try, Watkins passes Thompson on despite being in position to make the tackle. Had Burrow jumped in, it would have left a 2 v 1 on outside him.

Second try, Watkins again flies out of the line and leaves a massive gap inside him for Joe Mellor to step through.

Third try is entirely down to Luke Briscoe ball watching.

Fourth try comes from Briscoe spilling a bomb and Hanbury making Sutcliffe look silly with good footwork.

Burrow maybe has 50% of the blame for the first one for not reading Watkins' mind, but how you have him down as to blame for any of the others is crazy.

Whilst I had some guy behind me screeching that it was Burrow at fault for the first try I think it's Watkins at fault.

Mix of the two, burrow didn't need to push as much as he did and Watkins dropped off, a miscommunication that shouldn't happen between two experienced players

The second try was mainly ablett's fault, he shot out of the line to a player that was obviously a dummy runner and left a gaping hole, then turned round and started shouting at other players, its attitudes like this that make us bottom of the table

Burrow is a luxury to have off the bench playing in a side that is firing these days, for all his effort a front line, go to player he is not.
