Great effort from the side tonight. I'm not gonna bag Lane too much, he was really poor at times, but he didn't stop trying he just isn't good enough and shouldn't be near the 17 once we get, if we ever get, close to our strongest line up

Some positives to come out…Staveley didn’t look out of place,both starting props put in shifts,Brown and Balmforth both good at d/half..Smith,Martin,Sutty,Walker all good….non positive…Okunboar and lane both total gash and the red-card total joke…fair play to Burgess and Wilkin but Wells trying to justify it…Bell-end

Positives for me where Balmforth and Staveley, who look ready for more 1st team games.

Also Brown at hooker and Hoy in the halves looked a more natural fit before the joke decision happened.

Pity about the two late tries, but they were out on their feet by that point, think that's why there was a couple of speculative plays in the last five minutes looking to score.

Can't fault the effort, we were all fearing the worst before KO and given everything that's gone on this week that's about as much as we could have hoped for.

On to next week, let's hope we don't slip on a banana skin.

Prepared to give him the benefit of doubt but so far he doesn’t look to be a good signing at all. In a game like tonight you expect to see one of the few remaining quota players on the pitch at least standout in a young experienced side, yet we saw nothing whatsoever.

Crazy that the Hoy tackle was a penalty try (not got a problem with that decision) but the Sutcliffe one first half wasn't even mentioned or looked at, as clear a high tackle as you are going to see.

Jack Brown was the MOM for me.Ashworth if he keeps up the workrate will be a decent signing
The younger players did well although Balmforth didnt seem to get much game time in the second half yet seemd up for it
Didnt understand bringing Barron off for Litten
Cant see Brown coping any ban with such a huge backlash from R/L fans so with Soa back we can ship out Lane or Okunbor and keep the same 17

Looks like he doesn't want to get stuck in.

Whilst we were still in the game we gifted the softest try in RL.
The dart over from acting half, and we let them in twice.
This is a sign of a side not switched on and we were in the game at both times.

Bravery and effort are to be expected as it is a basic 101 of RL.
It's like saying they played the ball well all game if we go on and on about how 'brave' they were.
Bravery and effort is a professional requirement surely?

30 mins to go and it's 10-14 - that's when we would like to see leaders step up.
I like Smith and Staveley looked solid.

Lane - I hold my breath whenever he's in play.

OK London next. Lose and for me Smith has to fall on his sword and say it's been one job too far.
Win and that's a great tonic for a team who can't likely remember the last win.
Let's hope for a bloody win as this can help create confidence.

A superb performance from the young lads never gave up and the least said about the decisions.The two worst tackles of this season,were harry smiths and donaldsons last night, and no red cards for them..Somethings got to change,because disciplinary decisions are going to ruin our great game.

Did he go off in the second half ?

When everyone is fit he should be LF for me. Offers more than Cator and Fash.

Fell bad for you guys, the young lads done you proud, score line flatters us and never a red card. Hope that is reflected on Monday.

Brown basically sent off for having a head.

I felt for you guys tonight after the most outrageous sending off decision I think I have ever seen. And I know that the referee in question has had to be protected from criticism before by the powers that be but frankly he is way out of his depth. I don’t have a problem with the new rules but when a player gets sent off for something like that and Donaldson only gets 10 minutes for a blatant head shot I despair.

The RFL have just given the Refs another rule to interpret as they like whether their on the field or sat behind a video monitor . In a rule that is supposed to be absolute , We have got lots of inconsistences . They've just created bigger stick to beat themselves with .

So far he sadly looks an even poorer signing than Evans was.

Thought Brown, Ashworth, Staveley, Martin & Walker were the standout tonight but none of the young lads should be disheartened by tonight. Inevitable that we’d run out of steam with such a heavy pitch and young lightweight and inexperienced side.

Lane and Okunbor were poor and should have been ones to stand up but were found wanting.

Built like Kane Evans and he was F--ing useless
guess it will be him or Lane that gets dropped or even both as Sao will be back

I can't remember seeing him on the field that often in the second half. He played in the first half as I can remember him dropping the ball a couple of times.

He had a shocker but lets not write him off. He deserves to be given time.

What happened to Harvey Barron?

When we sign players from the nrl, I like to read the forums to get the fans opinions of them, very few bulldogs fans were sad to see knockonbur leaving

Willie Mason podcast said okunbor would kill Superleague..
After seeing his first 2 games I have to say he looks poor.
For the size of him he runs with no aggression.
Maybe he could do with a haircut.

A Bulldog fan I know said when he signed for us he dropped the pen.

Good effort from the young lads, Staveley went very well. But we all know lane will still get in the 17 most weeks with or without injuries, he is an error and penalty machine who can’t defend.

Great effort. Staverly Looked very good . Made yards every time. Ashworth Brown great first stint. Smith Hoy went ok. The 3/4 looked a lot better. Walker just class at FB. Shame about last 10 min but we where out of our feet. The least said about the sending off. Well played lads
