Absolutely correct! chalk that one off, the score should have been 42-8, oh hang on Hudds had a try disallowed make that 42-14 (benefit of the doubt given that the 2 would have been scored) d040.gif

Quote: GIANT DAZ "Some of the stuff i've seen posted on facebook is shocking and ridiculous, people saying they want their money back and won't attend another game this year etc, jeez people get a reality check, we were playing against a very good side who came pretty close to having a near perfect season last year, with all our regular back line and most of our forwards, our captain and vice captain, one of the best wingers in the world, probably our best forward this year and our generally most experienced players missing.

If anyone went to that game expecting us to win or came away angry and mad at what they saw then i'm afraid your expectations are way too high.

Losing Gaskell before kick off also hampered us - we had a full back making his senior debut, a centre with 4 career appearances moved to the wing, a 2nd row with 1 previous appearance moved to the centre, another centre with 10 super league games, and 3 of our bench who had 26 appearances between them.

It was always going to be damage limitation and i thought the last 20 minutes they showed some grit and determination to score twice and keep the scoreline down when it looked like it was gonna be a huge one.


Darnell went well and looked safe, as did Ormsby, be quite happy with these 2 in the future, thought Hinchy did well apart from his brainfart pass, made some good metres for us and we needed his defence in the middle without Bruno.
Mikey Wood impressed me too and seemed to get through a fair bit of tackling.

Not too bothered as it was a game most of us had written off anyway and was a bit of experience for the young lads, onto Leigh now.'"

Well said Daz.
ANY other side would have struggled with that level of disruption.

Nobody could field a team like that and expect to have much of a chance, which is what most people expected, That said it was a very disappointing effort from most of the players, The worst thing is that our so called first choice players were not our best players last night and to be honest i don't think Hull really needed to exert themselves. It's no good coming on and saying how many Cas beat Leeds by as some sort of justification, I could just as easily say if we had played Cas they would have put 150 on us. It was not up to standard.

I don't know if RS ever reads this forum ( if he does ) Rick our defensive line speed is the slowest of any team playing S league " whatever team you pick" and it's difficult to find words to express how little idea we have when attacking the try line. You said it would take two seasons and i think you are being optimistic there , but we have to stick in there and find a way to get better, I didn't expect anything except a loss last night but i expected a better showing than that. Early days.

Have to put that down as one of them games where firstly we would not expect to win given the injuries, number of young and inexperienced players, players changing position, late changes to the line up immediately before KO etc...

After the poor start with possession coughed up early in sets - some brain fart passes - and confidence losses through conceding some real poor tries we were never going to compete.

Having said that and whilst fully accepting the loss I was still very disappointed with our style of play. With the exception of Seb we were never going to break through the middle of a good strong team but failed to play any other way to at least test ourselves. One out plays abound far too often for mine. Can accept a loss far better when we have been a bit more adventurous in our play but then through lack of experience, bad luck, or just good defence fail to get on terms.

Good points though:
Seb was outstanding.
Sam Wood showed he can score for fun even playing out of position.
Darnall looked confident and secure at the back.
Others at least got some experience and no doubt learnt loads.

Onwards to Leigh with hope that we can get a better game plan and preparation regardless of who is available.

The main problem I have have been over the 3 home games I have witnessed.
Losing isn't the biggy for me. It's how consistently bad our defence and line speed have been. Our game plan is quite frankly boring.

It is exciting watching our young players having a real go and coping well but I fear we might miss what they are capable of if our one drive down the middle rugby is the tactic we will use all season.

Passionate fans like myself will put up with whatever is put in front of us, but some won't buy season tickets if we are boring to watch.

We aren't currently strong enough down the middle to do what we are doing.

What did you expect from Bent get? I know we were garbage but these refs are total clowns and will only get worse with ganson, that was a great decision child nothing wrong with throwing the ball forward and hitting a grounded player have a penalty salford, in charge.

Definitely in touch, his boots are yellow, his shirt is nowhere near touch.

Not necessarily all decisions change the next play. We would have had head and feed at the scrum if they had given the in-touch which is perfectly clear by the video, and the touchy`s position he should have seen it. Also was our first effort a forward pass, I didn`t notice at the time, but with Bentham reffing us I won`t be surprised if it wasn`t !!!!!!!!
