Only just got back home

The longest drive of my life

I really can’t think of a match where we’ve played worse

The only thing I can think is that in the pre season training, Chester has instructed the team to practise knocking the ball on and giving penalties away

Had being looking forward to the match all month too

We have to do better
I believe we are much better than what I saw this eve

We've been that for about 4 years but relied on individual off the cuff brilliance to get results. Johnstone, Tupou, Fifita and even Hampshire aren't bailing you out at present.

He's had his chance to turn it around. He failed. We lost badly to the team everyone is tipping for relegation. If he doesn't go now, it'll be us who are relegated.

Frustrating following a loss and poor performance. Similar to last season really. But we got our act together to go 3rd and after London no one would have thought that. We're always going to have some knee jerk fans and some positive whatever fans. It's just in different people's makeup.
There'll be some bum kickings and changes for Catalan and we go again.

I got shot down when I was on about the signings we were making in close season ,and the coaching . Think last night proved my point .

People just debated with you, dont be such a snowflake.

I must say legend, I was scratching my head with some, and even some contract renewals.

Prepared to give them a chance in the red, white and blue, but yes, last night did prove a point.

I also thought that teams that finished around us in the league have done better recruitment in the off season than us.

Now, with the Brough situation, I think we may need to review our thoughts on bringing in another forward, long term at least, though not just anyone, a proper organising half, the question is though, are there any available. I know we have Rocky, but hes covering full back too.

Jowett and Walker can cover fullback between them. Hampshire sees himself as a half and now has an opportunity to show everyone he's good enough to take it.

Personally I thought Westerman was our best player.

He might but I don't. I actually think Jowitt looked better in the halves against Huddersfield than Hampshire has.
Just my opinion and I know it will no doubt upset lots of folk but I think Rocky still has a long way to go to establish himself as a quality half back.

One game in and people already having a meltdown

Let's face it, not as bad as last seasons opener and we were sitting in 2nd/3rd at the half way point until an avalanche of injuries hit. Yes it's concerning, but I think people would've kicked off and baying for Chessies blood even if we scraped a win or lost by 2 points. All this negativity on social media by our own fans can't have a positive effect on the team or confidence, but hope we get a better reaction from them next week and start to build some momentum while we start getting some bodies back.

Bodies back ? We had 4 players out that would have been in the Starting 17 , of the ones due back next week couldn’t see arona making much difference to that - our inability to number up on the line was shocking - thought Atkins had joined the Boy Scouts to operate a semaphore - he was shouting and calling whenever we were defending that right side yet was constantly exposed - despite that being our first choice back line and back 3
