No wonder we were relegated if Reynolds was one of our best players.

He had some good games but many bad.

I agree , but Jukes has to get Baptiste into the 17 and it is Mortimer who is the fall guy from the Toulouse defeat. Reynolds will survive another week. Hall is also under scrutiny.

I'm not saying Mortimer had a good game but Reynolds has not had a good game for a while including last year

Hope that doesn't turn out to be prophetic Harold!



Too many foreign teams in this league!!

We're all after Reynolds' blood, but I don't remember his half back partner contributing a lot - except a couple of breaks, each culminating in him falling on his backside!

Not really much from Hutchison either. Only the old McNally arm waves.

That's what I was saying.

It was a particularly cringeworthy exchange, as you say, he style of rugby was a losing one last season. The stats against HKR in the 8s told their own story, high completion rate but pitiful metres gained as we watched a team more bothered about not making mistakes than they were about scoring tries. There was also an interview last year where Jukes was asked about fans booing, where he said "I don't know what they expect", well I'll tell you Neil, we expected something not as abject as was served up!

KC's remarks during the Q&A were also interesting. He talked about how the culture of the club was all wrong and how the owner needs to trust his heads of departments. Culture goes all the way to the top, and DB has to take responsibility. If he wants his money to have the effect of creating an established SL club, then he needs to step away from the playing side completely and let his head of rugby be the go between for players and the board. He also needs to judge his head coach based on results and not his ego and a vendetta against Rowley.

He was the one who missed a straightforward tackle on Brierley that let him through for his try.

Yes, undone by pace, as we were for Paterson and Kay's long range tries. (both 'created' by Ben!)

Would like to see how the VR would have viewed that move, well executed but probably obstruction, have a look on you tube

Yes thought that at the time, neutral mate thought
Relatively new ref got conned more than once by Bob and his merry men. Odd to have Mr Hicks running the line such a big game.

I thought Mortimer tried really hard to inject some spark.
Was salivating at thought of 3 NRL players at 6,7,9 you would have expected the coach to want to see what this would bring us?

Well I am hearing Mortimer and Hall are at risk of being dropped ???

I find that a tad bizarre. Perhaps Montyburns can confirm that as utter bobbins



I hope so. I think Hall has been solid.
