I know we want to peak late in the season but 2017 so far has being stand still start. We just went through that game thinking the win would come, had we gone up another level we win that pretty easy I reckon.

Game changed from Connors stupid 40/20 attempt.

At least the atmosphere was top draw tonight.
The £2.50 fans will be queuing around the block to buy full season passes tomorrow.

Spark seems to be missing . defended well but just not clicking going forward

What news on Ellis?

Game lost at HB Conner is definately not one. You will be much better with Kelly.

Lost through shoddy discipline and handling for me but agree we'll be better with Kelly, and Ellis, playing.

Ellis has whiplash

Both defences were very good and some big hits went in.

Far too many penalties which eventually lost us the game although I fail to see the difference between Moa`s challenge on Ellis and the one Taylor was penalised for.

Timing in attack was way off but confident that will improve as the season progresses.

Still 2 tries to 1 so reverse of last season.

but two points thrown away

Nothing wrong in defence. IMO Hadley Kelly and maybe turgut brought into the 17, Thompson and maybe washy to drop out . Early days yet. No problem with cats winning IMO there where the better side

What a truly abysmal game of rugby league that was.
Cold, boring, error strewn, stop-start and with dreadful officiating to boot.

Negatives: Myriad!
A lot to work on with ball in hand and we desperately need to enthusiasm.
Awful discipline and threw away the lead with stupid penalties.
We'll probably cop a ban or two and our captain has whiplash so I expect some changes next week.

Positives: Our defence was pretty good, only conceded 1 try. Also despite all the errors and penalties we managed to stay in the game and but for a goalpost could have won it so something to work with.

Early days so no need to panic just yet.

Not sure Hadley will be back next week? Watts may cop a ban, Ellis will have a head test I guess.

Awful game, and I still think we are lacking a big impact prop, too many second rowers in the squad. Radford also needs to learn to adapt his tactics, it was clear Connor at halfback wasnt working so why didnt he switch him with Carlos to shake it up?

The difference for me was that Moas was a tackle, Taylors just sort of pushes him. If Taylor puts his arms up and effects a tackle he probably gets away with it.
I've not seen any replays though so could be wrong.

Anyone else feel underwhelmed with Griffin
Certainly cant tackle.Nowhere near International standard if thats his aim.
Workrate and tackling from Tuimavave was once again very good
Connor did nothing to press Kelly for a starting spot at half back.
If there is no improvement from Griffin,I can see Radford bringing Michaels back on the wing and moving Fonua back to centre with Carlos taking the left centre position.
