For a depleted team, playing in hot conditions and having to tackle their hearts out, I thought it was an inspired performance.'"


An inspired performance? Honestly? Taking things a little too far IMO. We tackled our hearts out because we frequently dropped the ball and were under pressure for the whole game because our inability to pose a threat in attack. I would hardly say we were inspirational. Grafted, but didn't do anything particularly impressive, but we were never going to do so. Just fingers crossed we have a few bodies back for the Saints game otherwise it'll be a complete humiliation.

We looked like a team coached by a prop forward. Still nobody supporting the ball carrier and no second phase rugby. We didnt try and play any football at all in the first 40 minutes. Good effort but you cant win a game like that.

I agree with most of this. The overall tone seemed to be limiting the size of defeat rather than trying to win the game. We should have thrown on proper halfbacks and given them an opportunity.

Whilst we can hide behind injuries as an excuse for lacking attacking flair, the truth is we've lacked attacking flair at times when we've had a close to full strength squad.

The effort in defence was certainly admirable, no matter how it came about.

[ihide behind injuries[/i ffs icon_rolleyes.gif

we didn't have purdham, orr, dorn or randall. you tell me what side can stand the loss of all of its important players in one week.

you lot want to remember what supporting your side is about, rather than slating those who turned up and did us proud.

Please note I said it was an "inspired performance" by a depleted team.

I didn't say "we were inspirational." These are your words, not mine.

I stand by my original assessment.

It would be great, Dave, if you felt able to give our team some credit in the circumstances.

Thought we played with a lot of heart, but the fact is, we just weren't good enough. Without the spine of our team we look pretty rudderless and I fear for our top 8 aspirations now. Bradford games will be the deciding factor and personally, if we are playing with a few walking wounded at the moment, I would rest them against St Helens.

Agreed .We probably won't beat Saints whatever so if anyone has taken a knock better to rest them til the Bradford games.

Couldn't agree more. The way we plugged away to the end shows that there's not much wrong with our team spirit, although no doubt our very own little Victor Meldrew (aka Dave Lister) will have an apoplectic fit at me posting that icon_biggrin.gif

Do you realise where the phrase "inspired" comes from? Look it up.

Ah yes, credit to the team that have lost 5 games in a row, magnificent, McDermott is doing a spiffing job and we might as well book our Grand Final tickets now.

I cant believe people are happy/satisfied with the state of our team atm. Its pathetic. Dare to be critical occasionally instead of living in lala land where everything is just fine. Our woeful run of form has far wider implications than us slipping down the table slightly too.

Mac out!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20337.jpg



I thought the forwards stood up very well last night(that is a big French pack) Where I think we got caught out was 2 tries through right centre(Wells, Gafa) one through left centre, when Clubb ran out of the line and missed a shot he had to make, added to a piece of brilliance from Bosc.

Listy I understand where you are coming from, 5 losses in a row isnt good when the finish line is right in front of us, but the injury situation is killing us. (9, 6 , 7 ,13) all missing, Howell top scorer and Cougar top tackler missing too. No team could sustain that. Saints have injuries ad look what happened to them on Fri

5 losses in a row is unacceptable, regardless of injuries. Yes, 4 of these were to teams above us in the table, but it is a hard habit to break. Even worse, St's up next and regardless of their injury list, I have no confidence looking forward. 4 wins from the last 7 may see us squeeze in, 5 will assure us of getting another game.

Quote: Dave Lister "

Devils advocate here Listy. I think that everyone is worried that we have lost 5 on the trot, but we are all encouraged by the level of commitment shown by the players, some of whom aren't up to SL standard. Most of the match reports I have seen refer to us as a "tough" team and that is a positive...........if only a small one.
