What are you talking about ? Obviously you were not at the game today .Leeds targeted Dixon and Sarginson in the first half and Colborn had a nightmare in the second half but to attack O'C is unbelievable . Go to the game next time before you post anything yeah !

You've jumped to his defence before - you're clearly related to him or a good mate so you have no credibility.

I [iwas[/i at the game. It was bad. Colbon went off injured and O'Callaghan could not cope in his place.

We had five consecutive sets early on and could do nothing with them - a mixture of solid Leeds defence and really unimaginative attacking play on our part. We just don't look like scoring a lot of the time. There's no variety and no inspiration. We don't appear to have much of an idea close to the line about how to break good teams down.

Once again, there was a 10 minute period in the first half when 4-0 became 18-0. Our defence on both wings was targeted and found wanting. Gower was going mental at Dixon and Sarginson at one stage. Witt kicked out twice on the full from the kick off - what on earth are they doing in training? These sort of basic mistakes are completely unacceptable. I'm sorry, but Michael Witt is utterly useless, he brings nothing to the team other than his goal kicking. And that isn't a good enough reason to be included.

The second half was just a mismatch. We were porous down the right.

Why on earth Powell is still in a job is completely beyond me. I won't be putting a single penny into the club, beyond my existing Season Ticket commitment, until he is gone. I am led to believe Gus Mackay reads these forums. Gus - what is going on? Is it just us? How can David Hughes retain the services of this completely incompetent coach? He has no clue. He is useless. Get rid before the club sinks without a trace.

Im not related or his mate but i have said a few times before that i used to coach him at London Irish with Rob Thomas and Max Edwards .OK Max has left now but why Rob doesnt get a game is unbelievable with the current state of things .

The OC did look lost on SSN with Hall scoring tries as if O'Callaghan was still a 14 year old at Lirish.

For a twenty year old to go from player of the year to so bad in the space of a few months, Your coaches must be dreadful !

You said it

The Player of the Year award last year was a farce anyway, ideally we would have given it to nobody. The OC has been well and truly found out unfortunately, not even Championship standard.

Same coaches as last year?

Sometimes I worry about individual players being picked out for blame in a team game. So far this year the only bloke who has played at centre and hasn't been criticised for his defence is Dan Sarginson. How long will that last? The truth is from the pre-season friendlies onwards it has been obvious that opposing teams can drive the veritable coach and horses through our line ten metres in from both touchlines. Are all the blokes who play in these positions useless or are the systems in place just not working? I think centre is about the hardest position defensively to play, but what support are our centres getting? What cover is coming from our second rows?

I was discussing the Broncos' defensive structures at Skolars today with some other regulars. no one could tell me what defensive structure we are actually playing. Is it one on one or is it a sliding defence?

Whatever it is it clearly doesn't work, but nothing seems to be done to change it

Our defence appears to be one of a turnstile variety.

If it was electronic they wouldnt get through

The turnstyles at the stoop have proved less accommodating.......

Nothing to say, so disappointed with attitude once more, I only listened to the radio coverage before the West Ham match started, that was not much better but players had some guts to pull back from being 3-1 down to a draw.

The situation with Thomas has puzzled me for months. We have been short of props at times yet Thomas never gets a call. I assumed he was injured yet i hear he is playing for Skolars!? Is he not performing well? Perhaps they dont want too many youngsters in but prop is something we have been crying out for.
