First ten minutes we were awful agreed but got up to speed after it just poor in defence

Simple answer is we have no energy and no ideas ! CLUELESS IN FRANCE ! Very Cullenesc performance !

The Cullenesque comparison is unfair to Cullen. Woeful today.

Why is it unfair to Cullen ?
When he was in charge we had a plan A and nothing else we were clueless in defence and never had options we were going backwards very similar to how we are at the moment ! Our position in SL is a false one it paints us as contenders but our performances show a different truth we are poor in attack and defence and are playing as a group of individuals which is the total opposite from last year !
I hope we can turn it round but the players body language makes me feel very unconfident in us turning this very poor form around I just hope we can but were a long long way off where I expected us to be !

Lack of energy
Lack of ideas
Not clear what the game plan was to be honest.

if it was the NRL Dwyer would be playing as starter now. We have this mentality of 'one for the future' Play him and the others now

I find most Easter Monday games are lacking in energy, both Wigan and Wakefield looked like they couldnt be d today & just going through the motions.

Its not just today though, its pretty much been every game this season.

We have been flat and predictable in every game i can remember watching.

It's like a totally different side to last season.

Catalans away is without doubt the worst fixture to have on easter monday. However, that does not excuse that woeful performance. Even Westwood played poorly, that's when you know you are in trouble. Higham, Dwyer, Hill and Blythe are the only players to come out of that game with any credit whatsoever. Although no doubt certain posters will be on here telling us all how terrible higham is and he should be nowhere near our side.

The thread's title is energy and ideas

Energy, we weren't showing much

Ideas. He's a revolutionary one. Improve our tackling technique. ATM, it's pathetic. Every set of six today, there was at least one tackle where our players where just going into the tackle with their arms flayling around the ball carryer's shoulders. For God's sakes, get your shoulders into the opposition's midrifts, and let them know they've been hit. Our tackling looks like a man who's searching for a light switch in the pitch dark. DROSS.

Here's another one. Discipline. It's fast becoming a joke. We can't afford to piggyback the opposition down the field, especially when we're getting beaten.

Ball handling needs looking at, too.

Don't forget, Cats spilled enough ball today, We looked miles off the pace, and short of ideas, especially when we had a lot of possession, early in the second half.

A lot of our team needs to stare at themselves in the mirror next time they're having a shave, and ask themselves "am I justifying my wages?"...atm, it's a big NO.

Could be a long time before Tyrone McCarthy improves then.

Couldnt agree more FLAT, FLAT, FLAT.

On a few occasions when receiving the pass our players took a few seconds before deciding to move, by that time the Catalans where there ready to cream them.
