The way our players just give the ball away by running towards the line like JOC and usually Dixon as well is unforgiveable. RL is a territorial game where posesion is critical and more than often wins the game. To be as casual with it is ridiculous. JOC has been doing this for long enough and after Dixons howlers last season and this someone should have a word with him. Again Sargy showed his lack of understanding of the situation running towards Dixon who was on the line with nowhere to go and pasing to him for to be pushed into touch with ease.

With the end of the current series of Doctor Who last week I thought that I wouldn't have to hide behind the settee for a while. Wrong again.

Just back from Twickenham Stadium watching the yawnion premiership final rammed with 82,000 (a bl**dy good game, a sending off, 7 tries & only 5 pen cons thankfully) put on the recorded London v Cats game to see there are about 300 in the crowd. Depressing.

1. Rea should have signed a right centre for 2013 instead of 2 hookers. As should Powell for 2012 for that matter.
2. Howell was/is a left centre who is like a fish out of water on the right.
3. Sarginson was/could again be a decent left centre with ball in hand just so long as you don't defend him at left centre. How many times does Steve Menzies have to prove this point?
4. I'd like to see if Lovell and McMeeken could do a better job - perhaps not but I can't see either of them defending worse than Sarginson.

Even with the same personnel, there are many options in terms of rearranging the defence. Rea continues to follow Powell's failed formulas to the letter - even to the extent that he chucked JOC back into the centres late in the game for yet another last hurrah!

I don't mind the defeats, just the complete lack of problem-solving displayed by someone who knows his rugby league. Rea is a good coach with a good track record but he's currently busy writing off the 2013 season.

Something else I don't understand.

Rea finished 2012 with Dorn and Gower at 6 and 7, scoring plenty of points, winning games.

Dorn obviously did something wrong pre-season because he's now nowhere to be seen and Witt is unmovable. Did Witt miss touch with another penalty yesterday? Someone did but the cameras were slow in following play.

I don't remember it but that's not to say it didn't happen. I thought Witt had a stinker - his passing was way off yesterday.

Same old Broncos: patches of positivity but mostly useless. We can't tackle. We can't keep hold of the ball. A lot of our players simply look like they've lost the ability to read the game, particularly without ball in hand. Everyone on sky / twitter was creaming themselves over Dureau but what did he actually have to do? Most of their tries and territory we gifted to them on the back of our own mistakes. As is always the case.

Too often, with ball in hand, we have no second phase, no plan B other than give it to Gower or Dixon and hope for the best. Everyone else feels like a passenger.

Absolute dross - to me that was worse than Wigan.

This, to me, is a massive failing. Craig Gower does all his good work moving play right to left. This is fine for one side of the field but I don't see any threat from us when the ball moves right - in fact I sometimes find myself cringing in embarrassment as static attacker passes to static attacker.

O'Callaghan (2008-2013) - Six seasons.
Won: 18. Drawn: 2. Lost 71. Win ratio: Under 20%.
He has scored 18 tries from wing, centre and full back.
He must have conceded 100s of tries down his wing in those 91 games.
How many more chances will he have?

I just wonder what goes on in training? what is said by the coach prior to the game and more important half time as we just seem a side with no belief at all.

Half time appears to consist of the ingestion of sleeping pills although I suspect Kaufusi takes his before the game.

Powell was handed the chance to sign a centre for 2013, he went with Shane Grady

I have to commend each and every one of you who spend their hard earned watching that bunch every other week. To put it frankly, that is easily the worst side I've seen in Super League.

The highest rated player, Dixon, is nowhere near as good as he's been hyped up to be. He carries the ball sloppy at times and his defensive game simply isn't good enough due to his size.

Mike McMeekan is another I've seen talked up on here. God, if that's the best on offer you have to seriously worry. Sarginson isn't fantastic but the big issue is when he goes imagine the standard of the replacement.

The older and apparently more experienced players are far worse than the young kids. Howell, O'Callaghan, Witt etc were beyond diabolical and frankly stealing a living.

I would agree on Dixon, he has a lot to learn. Such raw pace and attacking flair is not something that the Broncos have in abundance though.
