He should not be on the wing that is for sure.

Lots of endevour from Wilkes, Sculthorpe, Moore, Ferguson and Trinity MotM Snitch.

JD put too much ball down, Henderson tried hard but isn't the answer and, while he has time on his side, Bibb hasn't overimpressed me yet.


Drew never got a grip on the game and Danny Brough was off colour with his kicking game though he looked sharp when running at the line. Obst is quality but not today unfortunately.

I also think that we made the error of having too many organizers on the field. Tony Martin has just spent 3 months playing as a pivot and when you have a combination of Brough, Drew, Obst/Latu it's too many.

Atkins was poorvin defence as was Grix, Petersen was solid in the tackle and under the high ball. Blaymire did everything asked of him.

I thought Atkins was our stand out under performer for the day, just didnt look interested, there was a moment in the 2nd half when a ball come loose which he should have been diving for but just looked like he couldnt be bothered.

Agree on the organiser comment.

Thought it was quite ironic - that the commentators said how dangerous we could be with all those organisers on the pitch -- when in reality we looked clueless in attack(apart from the little kick).

The biggest concern is how easy the opposition in our last two games have created overlaps or dragged our defence out of postion.
For me,that comes down to a lack of concentration -- our wingers are constantly getting drawn infield to help in the tackle -- but on one on one defence you quite simply cant do that - they have to learn to hold their position.

I just hope Rooney can regain match fitness quickly and come back better than before --- because we are crying out for a Stand Off.

For what it is worth I though Blaymire, Martin and Peterson availed themselves a bit better than the other backs. Martin lacks the pace but at least usually made the right decisions, Peterson looked more comfortable than Atkins and Grix to say it was his first game back.

Snitch was stand out in forwards, Wilkes, Ferguson, Moore and Scully can all hold their heads up high. JD ran his blood to water but it didn't all come off.

Damage was already done in the first half though. Macnamara has watched a video of last week and just pressured us out wide. With their tails up from last week they've chucked it about and we've crumbled.

I can see what people have said about lack of creativity, but I still think we've more options than many teams in SL, especially considering we work on a tightish budget. Yes it hasn't always come off the last few games, but defence has been a bigger issue. With hindsight keeping Martin at stand off, gleeson in centres and using obst off the bench might have been a better idea.

We are paralised by an excess of options
Too many cooks

Indefence we then have too many small men in the line

i agree, we looked leaderless in attack sometimes with 3 players trying to take the play ythe ball, probably through instinct.

im a huge sam obst fan but today he was off the pace, hee s eemed wary to attack the line and passed too early.

someones going to have to explain the ryan atkins hero worship to me though,as i just dont get it! I might be alone on this but an international centre, never, he cant pass well enough.

having said that, just 2 blips and i think reality has set in, especially in the backs, we havnt the strenght in depth we thought we had, even jk knew that early on hence the halley deal. Time for a loan winger??

pack looked ok and very good in spells

Agree 1000000% sorry thought I was cheryl cole!! Meant 100%, doesn't seem enough now!!!!!!!!
