Our players are thick. Simple as. It's really boring too blaming the ref, yes he wasn't great but he certainly wasn't the reason we lost

He could have put Lyne on the wing and switched Cockayne to acting half, leaving Aiton to either be spelled or cover the back rowers. To leave him sat there for 80 min, especially with TT not match fit is ridiculous.

Really Al, the new messiah? haven't seen any of that. I'll admit I've been looking forward to him playing again after his impressive debut but after been injured for a few weeks and it's only his 2nd game anyway, it's hardly a surprise he wasn't as impressive as his debut. Wouldn't say he had a shocker either but each to their own.

Superb? Hardly.
Some guys ran their blood to water, some just played dumb. 1 or 2 stood out, in a tight game you play the basics, 6 tackles & kick. We don't do the basics right.

If you consider a forward pass a knock on and a penalty given away in a ten minute spell not a shocker then fair enough, in that spell he lost us all the momentum we had built.

He needs to learn not to wang the ball in every tackle.

Not knocking him, my comment was a little tongue in cheek, due to few posters bulling him up too early.

Hope he goes well with a few games under is belt

I think that's the issue - he most certainly has an offload game, but there's a time and a place; even Big Ali gets it wrong sometimes, but he's earned a decent amount of latitude due to his overall value to the team. Mr T needs to do a bit less of that and bit more of that moment in his debut, when he put Chase on his backside.
