Some of it must be incompetence though. Professional teams should be able to complete passes while running, we almost always fail.

I'm sorry, on tonight's showing, that's harsh.

What we have is a backline that is too inexperienced and are prone to errors or misjudgement and they eventually end up catching up with us.

Anyone slating them after tonight is merely doing so because they have an anti-Powell agenda.

We are fatigued. Conditioning letting us down plus being outpunched in the middle.

Lack of composure, blind panic, one out runs, not closing down in the tackle

Lots of effort but little direction and no reward

You make your luck. We've bombed 3 or 4 gilt edged chances and made a lot of unenforced errors.

We are low on confidence. "Seriously poor" is not a fair description of the side tonight.

Out of interest has a short kickoff ever worked for us?

Not sure a conversation about the backline even commences before we talk about how ineffectual Holmes, Mulhern, Currie and the rest of the forwards have been.

Capitulation, they are targeting thewlis

I don’t have an anti Powell agenda I have been firmly in the give Powell time camp, the defensive line at times tonight has been appalling, some players pushing up and some staying back for a team spending what we do that is unacceptable.

● 1 man rugby.
● No 2nd phase.
● No support.
● No leader.
● No wrapping the player up leading to several offloads.
● Defensive frailties.
● No plan b.
● No composure on the break.
● No leader.

Let's just sum it up. It's not good enough.
Daryl Powell. Just go. Please. Just go. You've destroyed the proud heritage of this club.

Which is easy to do when you march up to our 30 every set and get a front foot kick.

Forwards have been perfectly adequate tonight. Not great, but acceptable.

Our demise has come as the mistakes with our youngsters have increased... Wrench and Thewlis are having a nightmare now.

INOUTWe don't seem to have a decent forward apart from Mikaele

Yeah he is not quite ready is he
