We really are not very good are we?

We were close to their line?

We were awful, never looked like scoring and I’m getting bored of our dull brand of rugby

Well that was bloody awful.

Kear needs to get a grip of things. Teams aren't just going to fold like in L1. His selections are just baffling. Everyone knew it was going to be a mud bath so why the hell did he go with one prop on the bench, who was also coming back from injury, along with a second-rower and a centre.

We keep doing the same basic mistakes EVERY week. Like I said above, we could get away with it in L1. We won't in this league. It needs nipping in the bud. Again constantly kicking dead and not completing sets. Start doing something about it!

Pickersgill. Don't like to single a young lad out but he needs a few games out. His positioning isn't getting any better. Straight away he put us on the back foot. Again a ball bounced inbetween him and his winger. Its happened every game.

Oh and Kear please tell our wingers to drop back on last tackle. Catching the ball on the full and really setup a good set.

So so poor today.

When I saw our team selection I knew it was going to be an uphill struggle to get anything from the game. We could have played until midnight and we still wouldn’t have scored. Some very poor individual errors from some experienced players this afternoon.

On to next week and another tough trip to Mount Pleasant to face the Bulldogs.

A very poor and clueless performance from the Bulls this afternoon. No idea in attack and some serious brain farts in defence.

Some serious questions need to be asked because that's two home games lost in a row, not going to help over come those objections to the ticket prices if there isn't value for money coming from the team.

No half backs, 3 props and our make shift half suffering a broken nose and having to leave the field vs a good, albeit underperforming Toulouse side who most tip to finish top 3. What did people really expect?

It was a disappointing display of course but when we don’t have a recognised kicker it’s hard to put in the attacking kicks people want. With green, bustin, lilley and hopefully a few more back next week it will be different (or it should be!)

We weren’t great and that’s true.

But with so many halfbacks out, so many props out, and then our best player Minchella off for half the game, seriously, what do people expect?

Toulouse are a mean side at this level and while it was disappointing, the end result was what I expected. You can’t play these teams with no halves or props and that’s a fact.

The only thing that surprised me this week was the number of people in our tipping forum going for a Bulls victory

To be fair I quite enjoyed the game today - I thought our starting forwards were really good. Their defence was awesome, they were knocking Toulouse all over the park and they had a lot of defending to do. It was good to get Mikey Wood back at thirteen. The score could have been a lot more! The problem we have is our decision making by key players. Wildie is excellent and I quite liked him at half back, we need new hookers though! Hallas is too slow When the defensive line speed was good like today it really shows - poor forwards - they don’t stand a chance! Also, dont know why Hallas played the full game when we had rested subs at the ready - although how he manages to do 80 mins is unbelievable! Hope minchella is ok?

Before the season I had this game pencilled in as a defeat. When I heard we had no half backs and two injured props and a suspended prop I felt like not going to the match.

I was pleased that I did. I thought we put in an extremely hard working, committed performance. Aside from the first 15 mins or so I thought we kept Toulouse penned back, put in a lot of strong hits and tackles and made a good fist of it.

Attack wise I think we were always going to struggle, even more so when we lost Minchella but Wildie put in some good kicks that enabled us to have Toulouse start a lot of their sets in their own 20.

In the end a couple of dodgy moments cost us and whilst we never particularly looked like scoring, I would definitely blame that on the lack of personnel.

I enjoyed the game a lot more than I thought I would. We kept a team I expect to be at the top of the table to just 2 trys and welcomed back a couple of players from injury in Gibson and Bustin. Fingers crossed we get Chisholm, Keyes and Hitchcox back for Batley along with Green and Lilley from suspension.

I'm not feeling the woe just yet because the injuries we have, and the specific positions they are in, means we were always going to lose this one in my opinion. Like someone else said I was very surprised how many tipped a bulls win. Not sure where that optimism stemmed from.

If we still look adrift and clueless when we are playing with settled halfbacks and a strong, fit pack, then I will start to worry.
