Sorry but the buck stops with the coach ,today we have witnessed a team that on paper should have have competed with Catalans ,but we’re soundly beaten in every facet of the game .What on earth was the game plan today because to me it looked like a bunch of blokes who couldn’t be bothered to put a shift in .Chester needs to get a grip and turn the belle vue holiday club into a fighting unit quickly or the consequences could be dire.Our run in compared with those around us at this moment in time is more like a mountain to climb ,but with our can’t be d attitude you would know that .No one is bigger than the club and it has to survive at all costs ,so let’s hope Chester reads them the riot act or his neck will be on the line .

The whole team looked beat from minute one. It looked like phew the weather is hot. Bending my back is a chore, can’t be d. Attitude all wrong. That all points to laid back coaching. Throw the ball about and fingers crossed something might happen. Rubbish. Embarrassed yet again.

Far too long the team have passed it to Big Dave for him to do something. Teams caught onto that by Easter.

Going to give this a swerve or I’ll say things!

Nuff to say I’m disgusted!

I can't speyke ! but i know the feeling.

I really think we need to get some perspective about today's game. I'm not saying the performance was anything but poor. However I watched the game in Greece that has similar temperatures to Perpignan today. While I was sweating my balls off dinking an ice cold beer the locals are buzzing about in jeans and long sleeves without a bead of sweat on em. Most of the Catalan forwards are of Mediterranean origin and we all know most games are won and lost in the forward battle. That and a one eyed official (he wasn't to blame for the defeat) didn't make it pretty viewing.

It was even hotter in Toulouse today. Bradford went down there and won. Stop making excuses for them. Oh the the refereeing was fine as well.

Just say it. The coaching and conditioning is crap.

I would hope no one makes excuses. We were utterly inept and looked like we'd never played together before. The boys were on a holiday, interrupted by a rugby game.

I wouldn't play Pauli Pauli again. He's taking the club for a ride. He'll look back in a few years and have regrets, but at the moment he's just a big daft lad who is stealing a living.

Very disappointing you would think the team had never trained together. Don’t know who the defensive coach is but it could do with a shake up. The trinity teams of the last few years had fire in their belly which won them matches that on paper they shouldn’t have. This team appears to not have the same spirit. Spent a lot of money to get there this weekend and just expected better

As soon as I saw the pics of the players in the sea and on the beach I knew we were in trouble and i'm never one to dis the team.
No excuses for that performance, only positive I have to say is well done Rocky for his brutally honest tweet after the match and I thought he played well.
Gutted for the fans that went over for the game they at least did the club proud.

No excuse for lack of effort ,I worked underground for 20 years and one day you could be freezing your bits off the next you were working in underwear in far hotter conditions that those lads and without a water carrier bringing you iced cold fluids every few minutes , and you still had to get stuck in for 6 hrs as you had a deputy cracking the whip behind you, and all you got at the end of the shift was a salt drink in the medical room. So I’m sorry if I have no sympathy for this hot weather as an excuse for a performance like that, these players are a dam sight fitter than I ever was ,it’s all about attitude and effort and that thing that beats in your chest ,and they just haven’t got it I’m afraid at this moment in time.Wether that’s coaching, conditioning , apathy or whatever it’s needs to change ASAP

I have said for a while I don’t think our conditioning has moved with the times. It’s been the same guy heading it up for too long imo. A change in that department would be a start

Not seen or read an after match interview with Chester.

Good post Mick.... pretty much how I see it.
I wont come on here (like some) and slag any of the players off.
They wont need telling that the performance wasnt good enough.
I leave that to CC and the coaching staff - it'll have more effect than me doing it on this forum.
