Very scrappy. Passing poor, kicking poor, can't pass to the right and put an attack together, dropped balls time and time again, forwards didn't dominate, played the Eagles in unecessarly for a period in the first half, missed some easy one on one tackles. When we were 18 up and had a scrum 20 out on the left we went for glory on the first gave the ball to Eagles, they then went on and scored and then scored again and were back in the game. We should have built and emptied their tank. The collapse was always going to come no matter what in the second half.
Positives, Halliwell got 4 and didn't get MOM!
We seem to be in a slump and need to turn it around. The forwards don't seem to be able to play without Ioane(sp). The Frenchman was missed in the halves, Api was quiet. Sammut went well, as did the new french hooker

Ps Mickey- I noted your Scooter Tats, what you got?? I have an Li.

Mate, I see your point. And as I was not at the game you are more qualified to judge.

Do you think we missed to leadership and organisational skills of Barthau and the power and commitment of Ioane?

Worryingly yes, see my post above yours.

Jossy yeah I think so mate. Sammut as we know can go off and do his own thing now and again so needs direction, we had very little leadership round the park. Basic rugby league was what was needed use the tackles kick for territory nothing special. Fwds maybe missed loanne yep, junior was ok in my eyes so was Lewis.
I think the lack of barthau showed. He is still limping slightly by the way.
Wq I have a 1954 125cc model d, 1965 Italian gp 200 with an RB 225 kit and a 1977 Indian gp 200 with a 250 kit in it

I believe Barthau will not be back until the Middle 8s.

Agree at our best we should have scored 70/80, but it shows far we have come that we moan about a 50 point win! Barthau for middle 8's is key, he makes the team tick. Think the French guy is a good addition

Have to agree with that sentiment, complaining about the winning margin and style is much better than having to complain about losing.

I suspect you are losing sight of the fact we are a full time team playing in a part time league. We haven't come anywhere other than downwards since our SL days.

I bet you're fun at parties

But maybe not for long

He is for a long time, certainly an improvement on the towel

Agreed, he's doing a decent job considering he's been learning as he's gone along. He seems to set high standards for himself and the team.
For the most part he's got things right, particularly in setting us on that run of wins when up til then we'd just looked like a collection of individuals rather than a team.

Not only is Hendo a good coach. In Jamie Langley, we have another coach who is proving his worth. I would hope we could keep him at the club. However I fear he may get poached by another club.

You do know Rob is still involved with the junior set up.
RP was thrown in the deep end with very little support
