| If we keep taking our foot off and thinking "job done" we arent going keep winning close matches.
Concentration needs sorting out quickly.

| We did against Celtic.
20odd points is not a winning margin at half time.

| 26-0 up and to be fair we pretty much laid the foundations to really hammer them, but we came out second half as though it was job done.
I thought first 20 they would give us a test but to be honest they struggled to make 20 yards in their 6.
Was a tad worried when Griff went down near half time, but he came back on second half.
They rallied well second half and made a bit more of a game of it, although I thought their first try scorer was a few yards in front of the kicker, but wasn't too fussed, good to see them get some points.
Job done when's the draw

| we never looked like losing at any stage must admit second half was bored waiting for final whistle, but with 10 men rested to be expected cant complain at 38 - 12 but glad its over.

| Robinson didn't come back on for the second half and Lunt spent a period off the field and that's when we fell away and badly.
Why do we rarely play with width, always turning back in centre field? I nearly fell asleep second half it was that flat and repetitive rugby. We certainly lacked pace. Both Griffin (J) & Lolesi were caught with a head start.
A few players need to up their standards. Very disappointed today with some players - Cudjoe, Lawrence, Aspinwall & Finnigan didn't do themselves any favours today in my eyes.
Having said all that I must give big credits to Rochdale. They never gave up, tackled strongly and caused us problems throughout the game with their attacking kicks.

He got caught out for both Rochdale tries and out of position a few times. What disappoints me though is when running the ball out of defence he is slow and stops before hitting the defensive line.
I appreciate he is young and still learning but if he can't do it against part timers he'll struggle against better teams.
At full back against a top club he will be targetted and caught out far too often.

Totally agree and also Lawrence seems to get caught ought a lot, they both need to push on this season.

| Lawrence has trouble adapting to switching from centre to wing. This is a common problem for any non specialist wingers they often get drawn out of position.
As for Cudjoe positionimng not great but catching looked better. Still got a season and a half to learn off Hodgy though.
thought carlisle did Ok today he seems to pass the ball well. plays a bit like a smaller version of Lunt.

| As said before, Lawrence is great at centre, poor at wing, and wings are all too easy to say "they played poorly" being often the exposed end of the defensive line.

Think we being a little harsh on Cudjoe, His positional sense for fielding their kicks was superb and ran it out of defence well, he is not gonna break tackles left right and , Brett never makes many breaks either but we don't slate the guy.
I also think Patrick had a good game today for us too, showed a great turn of pace for a backrower when out pacing the Hornets cover defence.
What we did lack was the clinical side that all the so called bigger teams have and the passing was farcical at times with Faiumu showing dummy outside and in when we had 2 man overlap.
Zip it across the line!!!!!! and stop this predictable inside pass.
