Congratulations to Toronto, the score line was a fair reflection of the game, for 70 minutes of the 80 we were out played and certainly out coached.

We made several breaks with no one in support, were we not expecting to make any breaks? We don’t have a clue what to do on the last tackle, not much on the five before either. We’ve no idea how to control the PTB with or without the ball.

Should we change the coach? That’s a decision for DB, but one things for sure after a few seasons of being entertained under Rowley, Jukes teams are painful to watch (and so were Saints under Cunningham) and for those who say but Jukes took us to SL and Rowley didn’t, well so did Abram and we were crap to watch then as well.

We was starved of the ball last 15 and first 20 of second half and we did not know how to react to this. We played into the Toronto tactics and fair play to them come with a game plan and stuck to it we went to one man rugby you can’t blame the lads it’s just what they prob been told to do. The problem now we will prob win next 7 games and paper over the cracks that’s there with Cunningham and jukes I don’t know what degsy sees in jukes he must still be trying to prove that he better than rowley when he obviously is not it’s time to have a change in personnel in my opinion sooner rather than later

Discipline was shocking, we looked a very poorly coached rabble at times in stark contrast to Toronto.

When they went down to 12, we should have been able to put that to bed, but we interfered in the ruck, spoiling, conceding teritory with penalty after penalty.

We gain a penalty with Toronto routed on their line. Instead of planning how to execute a winning set, Reynolds would rather play tennis with Paterson's head ??

I worry about the Crooks / Dawson edge, I have alluded previously about Dawson's frailties and we look vulnerable there. Yet again Dawson caught napping, drifting with a quick ball for Kay to beat him on the outside. It needs shaking up on that side.

I have been one of Jukes resolute supporters but I am having serious doubts if he is the right man. Yes it is game 1, but he plays a very dire brand and he is not even winning any big games with his 'Up your Jumper' regardless of 12-0 up or 12-0 down, minute 1 or 79. No deviation.

Mortimer must be given more game time. Moving him to the halves to partner Hutchison allowing Baptiste into the hooking role will increase our attacking options.

I don't think Reynolds compliments Hutchison in the same vein Mortimer would. There you go.

I know what you mean about the right side, it's the same Reynolds, Crooks, Dawson combination that failed so miserably last season. Hopefully Evans and Bergal will be pushing for places soon, along with Mortimer in the halves.

The one plus point on Jukes' CV is promotion in 2016. Sadly our attack was poor then as well until Cooke was brought in. You would hope that there's only so many poor performances from so many different sets of players that he can survive.

Whilst being well aware of falling into the "It's early days" trap, what shocked me so much was that we could have been watching last year's squad all over again!

When the ref has penalised you a couple of times for not clearing the ptb, the message should be clear; when you have failed miserably with the 'short-side' plays, perhaps it's time to try to take advantage of the space on the 'open side' by venturing out there; perhaps when the opposing scrum half has caught three of your stereotyped kick offs, maybe it's time to vary it; when you fail abysmally to create pressure through repeat sets, perhaps it's time to try exerting that pressure; when the opposition does gift you a repeat set; perhaps that's not the time to drop the ball, or concede a penalty whilst in possession, thus promptly returning the gift; perhaps it's worth keeping an eye on your opposing wingman, when he has drifted out to the touchline............

Perhaps with different players, we should at least be making different mistakes!!

Good summary Alan, you have got the job! Having said that, any fan with a modicum of knowledge would do better than the current coaching set up.

I have come off the ground disappointed and annoyed before but I have never been absolutely disgusted as I was on Sunday.

Well I have brought myself to watch a replay of yesterday’s game and it was even worse with replays than it was in real life. I know it’s first game players still getting used to each other but if we play like this all season we will be on the end of a few losses

Hi reffy.

Whilst I do have opinions on players, coaches etc. I am loathe to publicly criticise them, because I admire and respect them all for the courage they display, in doing what they do, for 'my' club. Yet I suffered all those emotions you mention on Sunday, and probably many more negative ones besides. Ah well, onwards and upwards, and hopefully Batley, being the Yorkies they are, don't possess the sophisticated technology to witness what we all saw, 'in the flesh'! icon_wink.gif

Also, whilst we have vast room for improvement, hopefully Toronto have peaked too soon - i.e. in round one! icon_wink.gif
