We were flat when we came out and were really on the back foot.
Less to do with Orr missing and more to do with the old Herbal relaxants we seem to give the team at half time most games.

New fitness coaches?

That's the second time this season I've seen our organisation fall apart once Orr has gone off, it's not so much the decision making, but the organisational aspect. We simply lacked direction and shape in our play.

Gale looks fine coming on as an impact hooker, but he doesn't appear ready to guide a side around at this level.

We were told at the beginning oof the Season, we had not gone for that one big star player,whos the be all of what the team does, but a team of workers and who will play for each other.

Well yesderday we saw what happens when you lost one player that the team are depending on and then have Mac comes out and said losing Orr cost us because no one to lead us round the park.

Well im sorry for once i dont buy it. we had Purds out there a GB international and for a few games a Captain of the old England set up under Cullen but most important hes our Captain. IMO he was wasted yesderday, yes he did play well (one of about 3) so why wasnt he moved to SO and Dorn to SH when it wasnt working under Gale. dorn use to have a good kicking game,not so much the high ball but a decent grubber but you never see any of that. Cook and Dobson were killing us with that.

As for Randall the guy just looked tried and to TBH he just didnt look interested at some points, i cant remember a game when i didnt see him not rush to or want to be in the DH postion and seemed willing to let others do it. I think this is were we need Kaye whos is a hooker can play that role, we just seem to be trying to push Gale into that role.

And as for our forwards, they just dont look like or want to hit the line hard and compared to Hullkr's and have to say Catalan's they look slow. I dont know if there is a problem with Haggerty but it seems like we play him for one game then he misses the next, is he not fit or just fell out with Mac (like another ex forward did last season).

Sorry for rant and i expect i be told i dont know what im talking about (and to fair sometimes i dont),but i just like a few other getting fed up of driving 2 hours round the motorway to see us lost our home games.

Sounds about right to me!

Was Randall carrying an injury ? He normally plays the 80 and gets to every play the ball.

Not this season he hasn't

Not for awhile, has he?
