Tick this box to confirm you watch rugby like a robot Esse Jr had more energy and enthusiasm than all the other props put together where do you find the stats for that? It seems that you are upset by the fact we are having to take Wigans good faith and turns out the loane is better than any of our 1st choice props, he's also a Leeds lad!

Upset?

If you think Esseh was better than Oledski id question what you are watching to be honest.

17 metres from 5 runs is not good at all for a starting prop

People saying our intensity was higher, I’m not really seeing it. Or if we did it lasted about 30 mins until we looked knackered in the heat.

Have we actually seen improved performances since RS was sacked?

Miller is doing a lot of work in games. That’s no rxcuse for yesterdays brain farts though

I don't understand why so many downbeat opinions. We were in the game after 70 minutes and could well have knicked it.
I think there were some key reffing decisions that had they been reversed would have made a huge difference.
The one that incensed me the most was while Martin was taking the penalty, KR were moving about and encroached the 10. I haven't swallowed a rule book but I'm pretty sure they aren't allowed to do that. The other bad decision was Miller tackled in goal after he made it out of goal and grounded, should have been tackle complete. Add on top of that a knee the head, will be interesting to see if match review pick up on that.
I haven't watched it back again yet and probably won't but there were other instances that made my p155 boil on the day, probably on TV they won't be as bad as I thought.

All in all we looked more like a mediocre, mid table team than we have done for the last 10 weeks or so. Green shoots of recovery

I agree he made some bad decisions and errors. I think it’s easy for people to focus too much on one player’s mistakes though when he puts himself out there so much. He was poor yesterday overall, but at least he’s still brave enough to make the carries and put his body and reputation on the line. I think there are too many in our team quite happy to sail under the radar when the going gets tough. He’s not one of them.

I can’t fault Millers effort, but his overall output yesterday was detrimental.

Do you still reckon Smith could come good? Respectfully I couldn't value your opinion any lower.

The Fusitua pass you are referring to (I think) was the start of our best structured set of the game. It got us to the middle on the 1st tackle, and then another long pass by Fusitua again got us moving down the left. From there we played nice and direct and finished off with the Frawley kick for Miller's try. He's been far too injury prone and should be heading home at the end of the season, but he's a long way from a coward.
