I think that sums it up, if they go out and look like they are trying then at least the fans see that, we seem to have lost the desire if we ever had it

A few of your players need a rocket up the backside. Your coach seems fine at the skills and tactics but i'm not sure about his authority. Maybe he needs to have a good shout at them or get an assistant who is a good motivator.

Pryce is the best example I can think of. With the size and speed of him, he should be one of the best backs in the game but he just looked like a useless big lump today. I'd love to see John Kear coach him for a season or 2!

The other thing is who are your leaders on the pitch? Under the sticks after you conceed, there should be 1 or 2 senior players talking to the team, putting things right. From what I could see, the Quins side were just watching Dixon take the conversion. Just little things like that make a difference.

I think that that's the big difference between us and Crusaders - Although I fully expect to see the Crusaders get a good tonking by Warrington on Friday, at least I know that they'll give 100% to at least try to get something out of the game.

Blackpool were winning games at football but went down

Have you condsidered any of the following

Coaches have studied the way Powell had the team playing and have counteracted it
Some teams start the season slowly and gain momentum towards the "Play of the season"
Some clubs gave there internationals extended leave

Just some food for thought

Lets hope they can raise their game for Saturday.

Perhaps Powell who I backed completely only has one way of playing and has no answer to the coaches who have sussed him, would it not be wise to bring in someone quickly as defence coach? there seems no spirit in the players!

The last two suggest that of course, heaven forbid, it wouldn’t have been to our merit or the way we played, but the opposition being lacking in something. Typical misery.

The first one makes it sound so, so simple to do.

I'm full to be honest. Here's some dessert for you. We don't have a squad to see a season through in a high ranking position.


Let's sack the coach, he's clearly a fuçkwit.

Our U-20's also suffered a hiding 46 - 24

hiding ....were you there then.

Losing by 22 points is a hiding mate..........

Strange one yesterday. For those who weren't there there was a hell of a wind which Cas had at their backs in the first half, hence Gale's lack of goal kicking success and the Cas kick offs causing havoc. So only a score down at half time I was quite confident but we just coyuldn't take the advantage and then Rangi Chase started his tricks and that was that. Positives were Reilly and I thought Jamie O'C had his best game for us - the opening try was a belter.

10 matches without a win.

Its hard to find any positives hidden in there.

Just seen the try's on TV- Chase ran us ragged

Maybe the player apathy is due to something they know and we don't?
