Carty is big on his disapline so Eseh probably payed the price for his indisapline, we could be looking at replacing Knight also with another player with some brains. 

We need to bring someone in if we can in the second row even with Cartwright it’s not strong enough 

Just seen the incidents and Burgess is as bad if not worse than knights and Custs the other week, depends on the colour of your shirt I guess. 


Hopefully the NRL takeover and bin off these incomplete clowns, most shouldn't be near under 12s rugby never mind 1st grade.

The really disappointing thing for me is the lack of leadership. Tithe team was crying out for a calming influence after the eseh yellow card and there was none

Are people not allowed to do that?

Think it been addressed for next season, but had some bad luck this year in that position.

If the Burgess one had been straight after the eseh scuffle Burgess would have seen red. I think he'll get a ban

Surely you shouldn't need to tell the players with 10 seconds left and Hudds not even trying to score you don't go for a hit like that, best case scenario, you put in a legal hit they drop the ball and the hooter goes.

Totally down to Knight this one.

Agree shame couldn’t even get the lad from York early or something 

Knight had a Brain fart. Properly cost us the game. ...But he's not the main problem.....A lack of a cutting edge missing outside with no second rowers ....Today was a backward step .....Some of our older players looked tired......But we have two weeks rest ....Need Cartwright Back to give us some threat outside.......

Seems our Magic record is now 7 wins 11 defeats, which even in bare facts isn't exactly brilliant, but even the seven wins don't have too many decent performances in there.


Think we had a decent win over rovers one year, and the win over Warrington two years ago was probably the best we've played at the event, but by and large we never seem to perform at the weekend no matter who we play, last year being the best example here!!!! 

Very frustrating, if Cust swaps ball carrying hands he probably scores and we avoid all that unravelled after. As easy as it could be to point to things like the crusher tackles or Swift knocking on not going our way, I'd look to some selection and rotation choices that we've seen not just today but in previous weeks. While having Briscoe on the bench worked out cos Barron went off, I'm not liking us flogging Bourouh for a full game, if Balmforth had been on the bench we could move Rapana to wing, Chamberlain to centre and Ashworth on SR. I feel like the coach doesn't fully trust his bench players hence why Asiata went back on near the end. Eseh didn't come on after his sin bin, Aydin only came on towards the end, not sure how long Ashworth was on. 

A potential saving grace is with the week off there is a reserves game so if someone cops a ban then they would be available for Leeds i think?
