Not taken the new boys long to pick up on the penalty culture

Cator down the tunnel. Ese Ese in the bin. Fantastic

Jesus so we lose Sutcliffe after warm up then Cator after the games hardly started with a hamstring and now Herman binned.

Kicks on the full, Ashworth kicking on the 5th, passing looking awful, we don't look good at all

we are simply not fast enough.Nothing at halfback and too slow in the ruck.
Have to say what has Smith been doing with these players.Seen nothing in attack for the first 25 minutes
and the tackling is weak

Another poor tackle attempt as usual from Lane allowing the offload for them to then score.

We don’t look organised at all and lack anything that looks even vaguely creative

Oh FFS we aren’t any better than last season on tonight’s showing so far.

Ashworth the one player that's had a proper dig - even getting a kick in

Havt seen one positive this half
another negative is the lack of kick chase to put pressure on HKR receiver
Still dont think we are anywhere near the fitness levels of HKR

Should have taken the two lol. #nilledagain

Gifting it. Discipline ing garbage as usual

We're actually worse than I thought we would be.

Really need Trueman back fit asap. Disappointing that we still can’t seem to keep our discipline and it’s killing us everytime.
Seen nothing on the edges other than Martin or from the halfback pairing.
Only surprise for me is that Rovers aren’t up by 20+

Wtf Pele

Taxi!

Fook me

Hard to imagine how that half could have been worst, luckily Rovers have been a bit sloppy.

First game or not, all my fears have happened, we are absolutely awful.

What a half!

That was worse across the board than any 40 minutes of last season

By the end of this decade it will be touch rugby.

What a disaster of a debut for the three new overseas forwards- one sin binned, one sent off and the other looking like he's having a game with his mates on the beach.

On the plus side, it can only get better. Surely....

If Smith cannot stop the on field indiscipline and it looks like he cant he may as well give up because there is only one way this club is going and thats backwards.

WTF have we actually done during pre season as our discipline is just as bad if not worse than ever.
I know it’s early days and we were a basket case end of the season but this just isn’t good enough even with the fact we knew it was going to be a long season. We are still the kings of our own downfall with brain farts and stupidity.
We look poorer than I had even expected and my hopes weren’t particularly high to start with.

Well, of all the things that could have gone wrong I wasn't expecting the main issue to be all of our overseas signings swinging round guys heads at every opportunity.

I have no idea what our attack looks like because the only times we've had good field position we've dropped it cold.
