When I was watching your game on Sat night and TP dropped the easiest of balls when in front of the try line, I thought that perhaps he was sending out a message. In the game where by Paul Cullen resigned some Wire players made mistakes and dropped balls that a 4 year old would not do and at that time I thought they were sending a message out.

I don't think the players was dropping balls deliberately but I do think they are unmotivated and low on confidence which results in these mistakes.

TP was more than likely baffled that we seemed to have made a break and, it being so long since we'd been in that position, forgot what to do.

if you had beaten Bradford do you think Royce would have still had a job?

Until the Leeds massacre yes

Yes.

I also think he would have had a job if we'd beaten Catalans which even with our poor defence we would have done had the referee noticed Leon Pryce's infringement in the penultimate set.

How costly that referee incompetence could prove to be this season.

Tbh, the referee missed a whole lot in that match (which, off the top of my head and discounting the pryce arm thing, were one saints try awarded off a forward pass and two catalans tries (or in the act of scoring tries) chalked off for knock ons)

Cats should have walked that game. They were the better team.

However, that had nothing to do with Royce. IT was too do with Foster and JAmes Graham.One was there, the other wasn't.

Yeah, sure, that's why we were walloping them for the first 60 minutes.

Player power only works when players have been successful, but if it has been involved, your management need to be careful as it can be a very destructive force.
