Another super duper terry matterson team talk at half time.We should have come out with our tails up, we was playing some really good rugby and was the better team.

HKR even gave us a chance from the kick off, kicking straight dead.
We looked out on our feet for the last 20 mins we were blowing like an old whale. I just cant fathom what went wrong second half, thoughi think justin morgan got is homework right at half time....rangi chace was marked out of the game.

Beacuse he is situated in the gantry on the Pricess Street Stand he is the last into the 'sheds' (gotta keep the Oz speak up) at half time thereby he has hardly any time to assess the performance and give a gee up ralling call to the troops.

It was obvious from the start of second stanza (yup Oz speak) that HKR were told by Morgan to move up, get in our faces, shut down Rangi and the rest as we know is history..............................

I thought some of Hull KR's support play and attacking lines were spot on, really something to study and learn from. It was a true 'team' performance from them. I think that they can easily justify their place in the table.

I just wish that I could see a bit more 'team' spirit from our lads, at times. You know....congratulating each other for good tackles, tries, even good play that didn't quite work out! I like to see a bit of spirit and passion in the guys. We had the spirit in the first half...however it left the building during half time!!

i cant take anything away from kr they were the better team today but what TM says at half time is beyond me i think his best half time team talk this season was at bradford when to quote TMs words, i went in at half time and didnt say anything , the guys new what they had to do. enough said but i just hope today was a blip and we can turn things back around.

I think Cas showed a lot of spirit out there today. They did look bewildered at times in the second half, due to the change of tactics by Hull KR and they had no answers.

This sure is a change from last weeks match. Admittedly, I went out with my friends instead of going to the game so my opinion doesn't mean much, but I think some people are overreacting a bit. TM is already getting some stick! We've won the last 4 before this! I didn't hear any criticism of TM then.

Until we're the best side in the League it'll continue to stand to reason that sometimes we're going to lose to a better side.

Dont think people are saying we weren;t beaten by the better side just that until half time we were very much in the game and after half time we looked disinterested....and a lot of fans were commenting on it around us

It is a fact that this has been seen a lot under TM's reign and whilst we have been great away from home our home form has been so bad that we really didn't need a half time 'teamtalk' that effectively turned a competetive team into one that looked like they had been on the recieving end of a 60 point drubbing....

HKR in the second half were the better side but how much of that was down to our own team looking like they had been smacked on the booty at halftime????

Look at the league table buddy. You've been beaten by one hell of a lot of teams this season! Never mind "sometimes". How about half the matches you've played. Maybe you are a Saints fan who's stumbled onto the wrong forum.
