Thanks for the explanation VL. I would hope we had the capacity to deviate from approaches when they are clearly not effective.

Ok, it's the first game out and we will improve. (at least I sincerely hope we will!)

Having witnessed that, and much as it pains me to say it, we were comprehensively out-thought, out-coached, out-muscled, out-paced (have we nobody who can match Cory for pace?!) and out-played.

Yes, I know it's a one-off, (so far) but can anyone honestly say (on that performance) that we have a single player to match Kay, Brierley, Dixon, or even (and especially) Bob Beswick? Beswick is still an outstanding player, who plays the ref brilliantly and still an outstanding motivator.

Yes, there must (surely) be lots of improvement in us - but then again, there could also be improvement in Toronto!

On a sadder note, I hope and pray that those involved in the appalling traffic accident on St Helens Road, have survived, and that they can recover quickly. Thoughts are with them and their nearest and dearest, right now.

Quote: caslad75 "The numbers haven’t been right once to go there. It’s just seemed like they’ve thought ‘it’s the last within the 10, we go short side on this tackle’ instead of playing whats in front of them. Too scripted'"


Hi Caslad. Yes, you spotted, we all spotted it, buy worryingly, none of those playing and coaching seemed to have spotted it! Completely new squad, but same old problems with indiscipline, choosing the wrong options and a total failure to exert any pressure whatsoever, on the final tackle.

[quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg



I can't believe your coach selected Dawson and Owens ahead of Ilias Bergal.

Well put Alan.
I have been seething since paying to watch that today and you seemed to have summed up my thoughts pretty well with far more restraint than I could do.
Very unhappy with that showing today, the players and coaching staff now need to work damn hard and realise that today has to be a one off blip not to be repeated, can live with outplayed but can't accept out enthused.
