Awful lazy performance littered with errors all over the park. Cas looked a yard faster in every facet of the game tonight. 
Another 2 points blown. 

So all the ingredients were present for the usual debacle?At least they didn't disappoint us lol.

This team does my head in.


Brilliant against an admittedly awful Catalans side and then we serve up that rubbish. You can usually tell with this club how it's going to go within the first ten minutes and it was clearly not going to be our night.


Looking like 8th at a push this season which is were most people would have predicted but so frustrating knowing how good we can be.

Absolutely dreadful performance, so nothing new for a home game. Lazy doesn't even begin to describe what I've just had to sit through. Turned up with the wrong attitude thought all they had to do was turn up and they got exactly what they deserved which was nothing.


Hardaker aside not one player came out with any sort of credit. I'm glad they waited until the 75th minute to start trying though which was an even bigger slap in the face.

It was awful to say the least.


Felt we panicked too much and tried to cut corners too much. Passing was way off and the harder we tried the worse it got.


Think Cartwright made some selection errors tonight, personally would have gone with Moy at full back. Rapana tries hard but for me has lost his pace to play there and was easy to shut down. 


One of those nights, we was never going to be near a finished article after one recruitment cycle. Long journey ahead still and would like to see what we can be like if we ever have our strongest 13 out. 

Was really p.iss poor across the park. As you say Hardaker run his socks off. Not gonna name individuals as there where to many ... Really disappointed after the last 3 matches 

The only thing missing from that poop show was a brain fart send off.

Firstly, credit to Cas for a deserved win. From what I've seen of them in 2025 that looked like one of their best performances of the year so far, so well done to them.


As for us! We didn't look right straight from the kick-off. As someone else said earlier you can usually tell with us what kind of a night it's going to be in the first ten minutes and so it proved tonight. We looked disjointed in attack and vulnerable in defence wide out. We never really got going and the little flurry at the end was simply too little too late stuff.


Think tonight showed how crucial Asiata is to this side. We got away with his absence in France but not tonight. We created little and at times played panic football as the game slowly slipped away from us. I personally don't have too much of a problem with their work rate but too many players had bad nights for the result to end any differently. We don't have the individual quality to dig ourselves out of a hole when it's not going well, we literally either win as a team or we lose as one as tonight.


If we're looking for some positives out of games like this, then it's that this is part of the learning curve and rebuilding process we are currently going through. Unfortunately nights like tonight will come up on the route, think the key is not to get too despondent when we lose and try not to get too over excited when we win, not easy with us lot!!!!


I wonder if this side struggles with going into games as favourites? The two dispiriting performances this year have come in games when we've been expected to win. Maybe being the underdog suits them, they don't feel the pressure so much and subsequently don't clam up like tonight.


A disappointing night unquestionably, but there's thirteen rounds still to play, suspect there will be a few ups and downs over the next three months, it is the Fc rollercoaster after all. I see the usual suspects have already pronounced us dead and buried. Maybe they'll be right, but I wouldn't start dancing on our grave just yet. Hang on in there everyone!! 

Credit to Cas, fully deserved the win..
We were abject, from the opening whistle, the team lacked focus.
The error strewn performance was frankly appalling.
Line speed, and energy levels were concerning.
Individual performances, I thought only Eseh and Laidlaw brought enthusiasm.
Defensively our 'centres ' are poor, very disappointed with Rapana as a marquee player.

The club need to get to the route of this playing at home problem and quickly. It's clearly not coincidence.

Having time to reflect my thoughts on last night was we were just lazy. Trying to score from almost the first set, throwing stupid passes without building hardly any field position, certain players having very poor games, Litten, Rapana being two but all apart from Hardaker were poor. 

Moving forward how about Hardaker at loose man to replace Asiata? Hes playing as a ball playing second row in the middle and has a great pair of hands o why not let him control things in the middle, he'll be a lot better than Aydin who was invisible last night and maybe why Cust and Sezer looked so poor
