Walker was absolutely ripping them to shreds so what do we do? Take him off, put an out of form, unfit Clarke on and we start going sideways.

None of that today was about the size of the forwards it was about desire. The amount of time their halves were afforded on the last tackle was criminal and when wingers and centres are making huge yards after contact then you have to question the desire.

As for Matautia, I watched Mamo yesterday with all the yearning of a foolish, impetuous ex.

If i performed at work anything like this i'm pretty sure i'd get dismissed

Time to give up on them?

The one plus I have is that I didn't watch it this week. I may not bother for some time. This squad needs shaking out of its comfort zone.

At least a cup run cannot be used to roll this burgeoning turd of a season in glitter. Big test of character for Powell.

well im afraid, thats about this teams level now.

I would go so far as to say this is the worst team we have had in all our years playing on this ground... Those players just arent interested... There is no team spirit at this club anymore... alot of that is probably down to things like wage disparity.

The people resposible for this, are the people running our club.

The 'model' they choose to go with hasnt worked.. pretty much EVER.... yet here we are, season after season, doing the same old things... which has lead us to where we are now.

its not even embarrassing anymore... its almost funny.

There was lack of effort of today (bar Widdop) and that is not acceptable at any level.

We are going to get worse before we get better I think. Something is surely coming to a head. I expect a "performance team to have a clear the air" meeting in the next week or so. When this all kicks off and some cages are rattled, big name players dropped I think we will see some improvement.

So today the effort came from Widdop. Don't drop him then. Sounds like King is on the scapegoat step. Jason Clark must come back in. And Hughes. Blah blah blah blah.

It's not even funny, Fans work hard each week for the money to buy a ticket whilst these so called players prance around a pitch with no pride in what they are doing, no get up and go and no respect for the shirt there are wearing. Maybe they should not be paid until they earn there money like we have to do each week.

You don't get paid if you have a bad week?

Thought Currie and Widdop were fantastic. Thewlis decent. Walker until he was dragged off. Cooper for stretches. Rest of them next to useless.

When people are performance managed at work the first thing you look at is Will or Skill.

If they have the Will but not the skill you train the Skill element. If they don’t have the Will then even if the skill is there , it ain’t happening.

Six games into following Wire even I can see there’s basic “don’t give a ” attitude.

Look on the bright side, at least we won't get battered by the Pies in next round, I'd rather lose to Wakey.

Self Employed if you have a bad week you don't get paid

Welcome to the roller coaster.

Since the advent of professional RL remuneration does not reflect performance save for a potential bonus at the end of the season, unlike the days of winning/losing money.
