You're not telling me that players aren't coached to play with such a rigid and flair-less game plan? Such international standard players surely have licence to play with "eyes up" and play what they see.
Price
Who is ultimately responsible for the teams performance? Sure the players have a large responsibility, they don't look like a team that enjoy playing rugby. IMO that's because they need a coach to take the leashes off and let them express themselves more.

Quite right and when LfC win the Premier league in a couple of weeks it will not be down to Jurgen Klopp.
It will be all down to Moe Salah going out there with no other idea other than playing what's in front of him...
Jesus christ are you seriously not laying a thing down at Prices door....!!!!
I watched a bloke take to the field last night that wouldn't do justice to a top amateur side...
Luther effing Burrell....
Its a stone cold sickner having to watch him not even have a clue where to stand..... and I saw Andy Currier in a Wire shirt

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg |

I thought we were good in the first half and without the ridiculous Toronto score right on half time would have gone in at HT with a decent lead.
Second half we were 5h1te and a ‘no prop bench’ nearly cost us the game. It all fell apart even further when our rookie full back with 2 previous SL games and left us with very little threat - that’s worrying.

There were times in the game when our line defence was awesome and were clearly trying to play a more op open style of rugby.The problem we had was a lack of size in the pack. Consequently, we struggled to contain the off loading of their big men. Hopefully, that particular problem will be resolved when Hill returns to the side.

Both linesmen and the referee couldn`t keep up with the play owing to the speed of the Wire players involved.
They were so far behind, that it was impossible to call a forward pass.
One of the linesmen looked so unfit, that there must be a question regarding whether he has the speed for a Super League game |

Luther effing Burrell...
Luther Burrell shouldn’t be anywhere near the team, his chasing back or ambling for one of their tries was a disgrace. Let’s not forget the book has to stop with Price. Burrell doesn’t pick himself. Linesman and ref weren’t fit for purpose last night, blatant forward pass for Lineham try. Two tries for Toronto with the one near half time with the man stood behind the play the ball, however we need to be smarter in those instances, play the ref, if we hadn’t picked the ball up, we would have got the penalty. The most disappointing part of last night was putting the cue on the rack when 16 nil up, then back to 5 one up hits and a kick on the last. Price saying today that Toronto have the most offloads in the league, surely he knew this coming into the game, then why didn’t we control it? Also saying we are learning as a team. This is the same team he had last season barring Widdop and Ashton. Excuses are wearing thin Mr Price. Time for action and not all these sound bites the fans are fed up of. Hill back next week. Time for Burrell to go out on dual registration learn his trade at Widnes expense, not ours. If then he isn’t good enough for Widnes in the Championship then we will know to cut our losses before he counts on the cap.

The wins will come for Toronto. They were toe to toe with Wigan last week for about 60 min until Wigan scored from a quick restart. That was when they were struggling to field a team and SBW was back in NZ.
Last night the game turned after Toronto scored when it looked as though The Wire should have had a penalty (obstruction at the playthe ball), however, Toronto had already bombed a couple of oportunities by that stage.
If they can get some bodies back then they'll pick up a few wins, maybe even take a big scalp. Whether they stay up will be down to how others, such as Hull KR, go on

The first word of your post perfectly summed up the rest of it.

They moved the ball well and played with some confidence. They could’ve won last night. I think they looked like a super league team and enjoyed watching them for the first time. |
