Its hard to put your finger on the exact reason we are not performing well enough tactically but the one thing that does stand out is that we have too many players that are not good enough!! Come on IM we need you to work your magic! On a positive note Leulai had a brilliant game especially first half and nebby showed how unfit he was going up York Minster. Thought I was next to Andy Hobson at times.

It was bad enough listening to the commentary on the web.... So to all the Leythers who travelled over those hills to watch that performance.

CR@P - it weren't that good

season ticket bought so i will be there next week watching the lads. But i will not be travelling a long way to watch our team. From what i have seen up to now we are boring to watch...... THe line is not deeop enough when on attack so dooesnt get all the way across the line. Basil has got one huge job on his hands here, if he can't do it. We will hopefully get better whhen we have all the props back but that has nothing to do with putting the ball along the line. Watching the line against Oldham it was all messed around. You could clearly see that some players were not in the right position. With this cup though i have no doubt that this sort of thing will improve. If not we will be going to C1 a year late

Ignore Frank, Madden is his 'chris giles' this year

Meekin and Morrison did play. Meakin seeemed to have taken a knock early but nothing too serious.

We would not have won today with our best two props.

We could not even manage to not drop the ball when it came out of our side at a scrum.

Clueless in attack, predictable, un-interested the list goes on.

Why do we never seem to have any attacking guile about us, everytime we get the near line we look clueless and end up playing one man stuff. We were lucky York didn't take all their chances today otherwise it could of easily been more.

I didnt think York were much better than wigan colts or a scraped together owdham.York bombed a couple of tries at least today through a bad final pass and lack of composure.
So where does that leave us? Currently we lack the power and the pace.Kick n chase was good, try to be positive, and we might have pinched the game, undeservedly, if Nanyn and Stanton had shaped themselves or Robbie had been more accurate or timed his short passes better.
How much improvement do we have in us, some, with everyone fit and youthful addditions.I recall a performance in this cup at Swinton when we thought things must improve but they didn't.

Ok robbie had a shocker,and the majority were not any great shakes,but surely Ridyard has to start at half back,hartley offers little in defence and even less in attack.Keep the faith

Like i said last week BE VEREY AFRAID, we offer very little,in attack or defence, even against lower Division teams ,it wont get any easier against the Championship teams ,we are in for a rough time , but Basil WILL sort it out ,he wont put up with this for long, i have faith.Heads MUST ROLL to move forward .

For me, we still suffer from last season's problems - a lack of penetration and pace. Ironically, the defence seems more tenacious, but it's no use restricting a team to 13 points, when we can't score that many ourselves!

At least in the last quarter the team showed that there was some rugby in us of which there was very little evidence for in in the first 60 minutes.

On a more positive note the flag looked good from the stand we were sitting in.

NEVER A DULL MOMENT. think you need to stop eating them sour grapes old mate , you arent giving york the credit they deserve , wigan colts or a cobbled together oldham , but for a bit of over enthusiasm with the final ball the winning margin would have been even greater , but that said best of luck for the season
