Cut the Holywood play out, Wire. We should be out of sight, instead, we're leading by 2.
BASICS

We award positions to Orsmby T King and Bailey. The three of them are very costly for us as I see it.

So that's now 2 wins in 7 , I am officially worried !

Very poor, we look knackered

Gidley having a mare.

Ormsby not good enough.
Sims not good enough at prop carried by Hill, he never breaks a tackle, in defence if he's not 3rd man in, he goes high.
Lineham not fit enough
Bailey liabilty

I don't like to be so scathing but this second half is disgusting. Gidley has been cack again. The effort in defence on Moores was terrible. Not accepting that.

Am I glad I only paid £10 to watch that cack.Don't want to be all doom + gloom but the grand final is a million miles off on last couple games + wtf has happened to that defence?Good job wasn't quarter final against Widnes as they'd have beaten this shower on that performance.

Total excrement, from 20odd minutes, onwards.
Well done, Cas.

What was that again about Gidley being more impirtant than Sandow? Absolute crap. Gidley can't get us back into a game (on top of not being able to hold a ball apparently), Sandow can.

And for the record I left my tv screen early to take the dog for a walk where I'll prob do more work than this lot have done in 80mins.

You don't have to be a numpty all the time: Bailey put in a good shift in defence; got pinged harshly for a high shot. Liability?

I see you've shifted your focus to Sims not being good enough now; don't you want to carry on trotting the line about playing Ratch at stand-off? Clueless.

what have you done to lineham? looks overweight and so slow

If Smith picks players on form then we'll struggle for numbers vs leeds. Gidley should be dropped - seemingly can't pass, tackle or even kick goals now.

Well played Cas though, they were hugely entertaining.

imo thought ratchford looked a class act to be honest

Ratchford is brilliant when his individuality comes off but he needs to be more of a team player, he'll run down a blind alley 2-3 times before he lets a ball go.

Your right. You obviously aren't a Numpty at all. Just thick.
Bailey a shift?
Ten mins 2 errors I saw.
Ratchford was the best hb out of three bad hbs. Cas had one.

Aye and on that basis will prob be at Wigan nxt season.

Can anyone explain Solomonas first try by the way? The ball is clearly lost and Gidley puts his hand on it. That should make the ball dead? Instead Solomona is allowed to carry on, get it back and ground it... not that it would have affected the outcome. Only saw Hill, Westwood and Ratchford trying to make any headway.

you looked good today, ..well until the opposition turned up

You'd know about winning when the opposition doesn't turn up, back in your box

Erm...it was a try. Watch it again without the blinkers.

I'm asking for an explanation as to why. Solomina loses the ball. Fact. Gidley puts his hand on the ball after this. Fact. So why wasn't it deemed dead? I'm just asking because any other time it's deemed dead?

I think that is on the money. For 35 minutes we dominated them playing sensible rugby, then decided to showboat instead of taking the ball up and playing in their last Q of the field. Once they got a try they visibly lifted and the damage was done.

Jullien was not great in the tackle and Toby King faded as the game went on, I suppose you have to accept that with their inexperience and return from injury. Gidley was not great, even his kicking was off. I thought Smith brought a bit of energy to the team though. Excellent display by Cas.
