My first game attended this year having been down in Exeter. Can't remember a longer 80 minutes! We were clueless, one man up all game which was foolish considering that we actually looked handy down the flanks - but true to form we rarely went wide. Crusaders defended very well but we didn't trouble them.

Tronc's not putting his heart into it for obvious reasons and his offloads to nobody in our own half were atrocious - not that anyone was looking for it or expecting it. No team cohesion. No runners. Poor options on the last. Missing Brough's kicks. Cooke's defence was shocking and he really needs to start stepping up soon. Our wingers must start backing themselves! Why do they come inside straight away when there's acres of space ahead?

Positives:
King and Moore put in good stints
Korkidas but he needs to stop being put on his back!
JD tried hard (though he misses that yard of pace)
Murphy - solid, some good footwork
Crusaders fans were a great bunch
Cheaper entry than usual

And watching us at the moment is !!!

MOM goes to BJ..

You couldn't make it up.

Next Week IMO:

Blaymire
Blanch
Murphy
George
Morton
Cooke
Obst
Moore
Davey
King
Ferguson
Henderson
Morrison

Trout
Johnson
Gledhill
Korkidas


Tronc should be made to travel and run the kicking tee on.
Millard should be given a week to consider whether he wants to be here and whether he wants to put the effort in.
JD needs to think about whether he can still contribute or are we allowing his loyalty and our affection to hurt the team effort.

One or two others ought to be thinking themselves lucky and should be told as much in no uncertain terms.
Being a nice family club is all well and good but t's not a holiday camp!

Shape up or ship out!

Not at all. And the bloody ground prices we need to sort it out !

was it your text on radio Leeds

Nail on head Jeffries not up to it and we bloody knew that when we resigned him Cooke done nothing up to now no shock to me poor signing Obst 100% but lacks the class and we still have no loose forward

As for today flat performance but 3 games in 8 days is crazy what did we expect lets move on bring on Quins and please find some cash for a much needed halfback

what do we expect last week Wigan £16 great stadium etc this week Belle Slum £20 is there any wonder the gate was just over 4000

Today's Man of the Match decided by 'The Comedians' I assume.

Yes agree,JK needs to blood a few youngsters and it may shake some of these senior players into action.If i was Kear i drag each of the team into his office and straight up ask them if they are willing to give everything they've got to the cause,if not they can do one.

King went well along with Korki and Moore, Sam tried, JD never gave up.

Murphy played his heart out for us.

I left the game with over 10 minutes to go as I could not stay and watch anymore of that rubbish. Absolute shi?e!!!

The 3 games in 8 days is no excuse. It's the same for everyone and we have a squad that should be able to cater for it. The bottomline is we were bloody awful from start to finish. They wanted it more than us from minute 1 and they deserved the win as they were the better team.

Only a handful of players stood up today, the rest were a complete shambles.

Tronc - Thanks for the good memories but enough is enough. Take your wife and go as you've been useless of late you can tell by his body language he is already no longer with us. Shame but hey life goes on. Thanks but bye!!!

JK - Decide who the on field director and general is FFS!!! There was a complete lack of organisation in the halves today. Also once again our defence, ball retention, discipline and kicking game was an absolute joke.

Not left a game that angry and upset by our showing for some time. Hoping to see a significant improvement and change in attitude for our next game.
