tickle has been excellent in the 2 games he's played. Back to his best IMO

Very easy to defend against as all we did was run across sideaways(washy,horne) instaed of going at the line and bringing people out of the defensive line, these 2 just on't work as a half back pairing

That's right. Provided it's drilled in anyone can do it. That's why anyone can play half back if they're coached well.

Surprise surprise.

Agreed!

yeah what a suprise,how come he was named in the squad then???how come we were told he "had a knock on on the leg"thats turned out to be a hammy, oh yeah mind games..ffs!!!

Yes, you did call it the other day Robbo..whether it was mind games or not it certainley did not work

How does the loss of one man affect the game like that, makes me wonder who is coaching this side tbh. Longy ??

sorry to say this guys an girls but ,its only one game !! granted its a game we should have won but no team will go through a season without getting beat when its a game they should "on paper" easily take the points . i like many others am disapointed, but these things happen
yes we lacked direction,yes we was a bit complaicent thinking we could walk it but i'm still confident the side is capable of finishing top 4 ! and this could be the kick up the arris the team needs (you need to be on the top of your game near on every week to get the points)you just have to look at the champs leeds, they have lost 2 games they "on paper" should have won but i reckon they will still be in the running come the end of the season!!!

so dont panic people it will all be ok come the end of the season !!!!!

just remember leeds haven't had the start people predicted!!!just cos we lose 1 game doesn't mean it's all over.agar needs to be given time to work with this squad not get rid after our 1st defeat.we could win the gf this year and some people on here would still be calling for his head!!!!

I don't understand how Long can have been in the 19 for Crusaders (and theoretically in with a chance of playing) but now not having played he is definitely out for Quins five days later.

I suspect the club knew this time last week that he had done his hamstring so why was Agar telling us he was 50/50?

Was it for reasons of morale/not wanting to give Crusaders hope? If so why not leave Quins doubting the position too? They now have the best part of a week to prepare knowing they are going to be up against a makeshift half back pairing.

Alternatively (and I know this is a radical suggestion!) the club could always be honest with us about injuries.

maybe they are trying that now after bolloxing up the alternative.
