Just saw the result on Sky and to tell you the truth was very embrassed to see that result esp against a team like Hunslet.
Can someone please explain what happened up in Sth Leeds? Did the boys leave something back in London?
This is not a good result for the club at all.

The most embarrassing thing ? 71-0

You was embaressed!!! you should have been amongst the few skolars supporters there!!!!!. There was a full squad on the pitch, but I dont think that all the players actually turned up in their heads!!! Some of the players played their socks off whilst others played very half -hearted. I think that some of the players need to give their team mates a hefty kick up the rear...again the majority of tries when in down one side. We piced up a few more injuries and aggravated those alreay there. We lost Matt Thomas and Glenn Osbourn to injury, Chad Ilses and Olly Fountain picked up a couple of nasty blows but carried on. Jermaine Coleman's brother played yesterday, and did really well - good passing off both hands, he should be pleased with his performance. Again there were some very stupid errors - a long pass near the try line that was intercepted..outcome - hunslet scored. lose passes, bad kicks, you name it we did it - we handed the game to them on a plate....

I understand that the team are having a bit of a hard time at training tonight.

So Callum's not taking training tonight then

The team is in a really bad place atm and with loses like thatit is going to show a huge amount of strength and character in the squad and coaching staff to get through this.
As a former player, I know that season starts like that can dent your confidence and moral.
Not really to sure where the club goes from here but everyone needs to stay on course and help each other through.

cant even look

I was as surprised at the result as anyone. I support Celtic Crusaders and to be honest I thought they were turning things around last season. It is amazing how they have slipped back again. All the best and hope they can get thier game back on track quickly.

looked good against quins bur gone down hill fast from there. need to turn it around fast otherwise the FNL will be down in attendance

They have 2 weeks to figure what is going wrong and improve their game. I t is really disappointing as we were starting to shred the biggest losers tag and becoming a club to be rekon with.
However it all comes down to recruitment and the type of player that the club wants.

No disrespect to some of the players but I dont think they are up to this standard.
I cant put my finger on why they are performing so bad however they need to turn the corner in the next 2 games otherwise they will be on a hiding to nothing over the next 5 months.

I would be interested to hear what the Skolars development strategy is going forward. Now they have not got as much access to overseas players because of the rule changes, they are bringing in average ability players from local amateur clubs. Is this what they intend to continue doing ? I am not sure how well that would be received by local amateur clubs ! Or is there a conveyor belt of juniors so well advanced that in a year or two, quality rugby league juniors will be stepping out for them ? Or are these players snapped up by Quins ? Now the Quins are competing in a u21 competition presumably they won't be off loading players to Skolars ? They look like they are struggling for a reserve grade - at least one that is organised and set up to provide players for the firsts. Lots of questions - and I would be intetrested to hear some answers. As a follower of rugby league I would love to see them succeed, but fail to see how they will.

Getting better. Only 70 -0 this week

Have faith...you need to ask that question to the players. You can not keep your spirits up when getting beat by that score. Callum is a good coach and deserves better than what is being dished up.
I am trying to stay positive but when you see score lines like that you have to wonder what is going on.

Callum has never coached a side that has won a game, unless you count Junior Rl. That comment should be ammended to Callum is a nice guy.
