Special mentions to Charlie and Ellis who were bad too!

Lawler wasn't in the top 3 worst players surely Ellis beats him by a mile

I wasn't overly struck on what Ellis did either today.

So Lawler had a good game then?

Not really but he was far from the worse

Lawler dropped the ball but at least he turned up.
Did Ellis play?

I don't for one minute excuse Ellis performance. I could test the swear filter with it.

I was disappointed with Lawlers handling errors (particularly as a non ball playing backrow). U make 3 or 4 in a game ur lucky to not get hooked b4 the end.

U guys saw something different and maybe I am doing the kid a disservice.

Don't think you are. He was told by Disco Dave under the sticks to respect the ball more but seemed to make a lot of excuses.
Sheens warned the players and they they still turned up half cooked.
Poor Oakes never got a pass.

There's an argument lawler was trying too hard for quick play the balls and gain some momentum, so you could say he had a stinker trying to get on the front foot and make something happen. He also had a number of good carries once he calmed down and scored.

Don't think the same can be said for Ellis.

I know I was not at the game because I do not get to many if any, so I am glad for forums like this one all I can say is a win is a win and I hope when we reach the 8s we get the wins we need and get back to super league

A Sunday afternoon of my life I won't get back. Hang over from a tough Easter programme? A ref who allowed the opposition to niggle & disrupt play? or a bunch of young players who are not as good as they think they are? To me a bit of all that. I noticed that every time we got a penalty or scrum Lunt was having to explain what was going to happen, that should be sorted at training. Or did they get that frustrated at being unable to get fast play the ball or take quick penalties (the ref always stopped them taking quick kicks) that some just lost their cool? What ever Tim Sheens must get an experienced couple of old heads into that squad quick.

ellis isn't very good. Never has been and never will be. championship is his level. I'd imagine sheens has another half in mind for the middle 8's
