Quote: Saddened! "I'll wave the white flag, this season is over. And if they don't sign anyone else of significant quality, so is next season as well.
Today was absolutely woeful. The pack is looking very fatigued now and was out enthused by Catalans. The backs, halfbacks in particular were pathetic. Dawson shouldn't have a contract with us and we yet again concede the full length interception/mistake-created try.
Our tactics were perhaps even more disappointing than our execution. Two or three poor, lazy one out drives than a ridiculously poor kick down the fullback's throat is a mysterious way to get back into a game. The lack of ability to score points when they went a man down was pretty shocking. We need Wilkin back ASAP and I'd stick him at 7 and drop Walsh. Try to finish the season with a gracious exit at Leeds or Wigan in the semi finals.'"
The mad thing is, we could still win this daft competition. If we can finish in that top 4, we'll be 1 game from the final and last year proved that anything can happen there. Catalans tonked us 42-0 there last year and they somehow managed to turn the season around.
Are we deserving of being champions again? Are we heck. I agree with you mate.
Last year was incredible because we had so many injuries and Brown adapted our style to win games we had no right to win. This year was supposed to see us go back to playing some decent rugby. The idea was that we didn't have to grind out victories because we had the personnel (Burns, Walsh and co) to attack teams and express ourselves.
Burns and Walsh's attacking tactic...look like you're gonna take on the line but then throw the most predictable, boring inside ball to a runner who gets smashed by the opposition ZZZZzzzzz I'd rather read one of Mugwumps posts on here.
Sort it out Cunningham!!!!
