The more I see Mago, the more I’m reminded we are missing a dominant front row to get the best out of him, he just isn’t a pack leader or game changer in that regard. Occasional flashes are there to make you think ‘if only.’

Absolutely.

The whole spectacle has been that bad I'm struggling to care about the result tonight.

I wonder if that's overthinking it a bit. Anyone can catch the ball, run as fast as he can and pump the legs after contact.

Hamlin was the last one for us and got bolloxed for it.

Grim first half tonight and it's bloody cold here, need some tries our way warm us up.

If he ran with the gusto Ollie P then he’d absolutely kill it IMO with his size. Too much of what he does is late-career Fieldenesque…standing still wanting to wrestle and handoff without actually going anywhere. He’s been like that in a number of games. When he runs proper he often gets an arm through and at worst ends up on his front.

One positive, Isa is totally playing himself into the last days of his career at the club. It’s blindingly obvious he’s behind Farrell, Bateman, Smithies.

Can we please stop kicking the ball on tackle 1 or 2

I wish Sky would cut the video ref mic too.

Hats off to Miski. He’s been very good bringing the ball out, his desire is unquestionable, and it’s just made that try for us.

Havard & Ellis have made a huge difference too.

Bloody annoyed because this game was there for the taking.

What a bizarre game Halsall has had. Got absolutely battered in defence.

We've snatched a few games from the jaws of defeat, it was about time one didn't go our way
