BOTH sets of fans paid tribute to Steve Prescott tonight it was a moving and fitting tribute to him, from the moment the family and friends of Steve came onto the pitch to a guard of honour of both teams the applause didnt stop with "there is only one Steve Prescott" being sung by both sets of fans , both during the tribute and during the game, I doubt there was a dry eye in the house, a fantastic tribute from two great clubs.

Needs to be careful on this and strike the right balance of public criticism and praise.

And the ridiculous pass he chucked out after Horne kicked us 40M down the field to the St's 10M line from the penalty given, the second half was a mare for Houghton. Think the loss of Carvell also made a big difference to us in the 2nd half. A game we could and should have won had we not switched off at the start of the 2nd half and given away daft penalities. All in all even though we got beat I saw enough signs that we have a pretty good side the big question is can Radford & Last succeed in getting them to cut out the errors and improve discipline?

Just saw the game back on FC live. Some good stuff - Westerman in the first half, Whiting and Horne were all good and Paea was excellent. Shame Silverwood found a forward pass against us when the pass went backwards at 16-10 down I think it was that was an opportunity that went against us thanks to the popular side shouting the decision. Thought our discipline was pretty good overall certainly better than against Catalans. The sort of game that can go away from you when playing away from home - at the KC it might well have been different. Houghton needs to improve 50% at least with the ball I thought he was sloppy. Hope Ellis is OK didn't realise he'd limped out of the game near the end.

I thought we played pretty well first half, controlled the game and made good yards. With the ball we were dangerous and they created very little which was largely due to the fact they had no territory.

Second half we started giving away penalties and we turned over cheap ball in our own half too often which give them a way into the game. Once they got on top we were never going to reverse that.

Main concern is not being able to defend our line, most times a try is scored. Plus the missed tackles are an issue, penalties don't help.

Ellis was good, Horne played well and Paea & Westerman were the standouts.

The last couple of seasons our goal line defence was excellent; I would have backed us to keep out almost anyone at short range. This year our defence generally is nowhere near as good. Over 30 points conceded in each of our opening two games says it all.
