I can only echo what has been previously said, yesterday was hands down one of the worst performances I have seen from a Cougar side.

The lack of enthusiasm in defence was alarming, refusal to track back, letting attackers waltz past to get onto kicks, prop forwards side stepping their way past our static defenders. It was shocking from start to finish.

Only positive for me was the new scrum half, Leatherbarrow, already showed more promise than Obst did in the whole of last season. Decent kickoffs which got us the ball back 3 times and always wanted the ball.

Does anyone know if Richard Jones is still on the books? First part of last season he was one of the stand out players.

From his defensive work I think it was clear he was interested and put his body on the line week in week out. I don't known the figures, but would assume Obst didn't come for that much money.

If it has come to praising the defensive effort of the person playing in the most creative position on the field I think I can rest my case.

Like I say he was top try scorer. Can't please some people

Scrum halfs shouldnt have to defend like that. Ever thought if the players round him did more in defence he would have more energy in attack. As for Leatherbarrow forcing 3 drop outs in 80 minutes i expect more from a half back. Im not knocking the kid what i did say was that he's come to us to gain experience so he's learning all the time. Another thing i did say was how many 20 y/o half backs are running round super league.

I hope the coach has had them in the tackle bags this week, awful in defence last week.

When i think back to the game the Jones try been ruled out and Batley scoring from the next set was a game changer, you just never know. I still think it was an awful decision.
