I don't understand the negativity people have about Nash at the minute, i honestly don't think we looked any weaker when he was on the field plus he's a young lad with bags of potential and will only get better the more games he plays in and against a better class of opposition. Isnt this what the 3 year licence is all about??

As for the game- yes we were woefull in the 1st half and Wakey more than deserved their win but on a positive front even though we were terrible for the majority of the game if Sibbits try had been allowed then it was game on and anything could have happened. To have had a chance of getting something out of the game when we played that poorly must be a positive and something Mcrae can work on.

Most of us know its going to be a long season and they'll be a few more games like Sunday im sure but we know where were weak and can work on it. Its a simple fact that a lot of the other teams are better than us at this stage and its going to take time (and patience) to catch them up!

Tommo2 - thank god for some optimism - you read this thread and you'd think the sky had fallen in. I think Steve Nash has looked fine both games - better at Wakefield than against Celtic - shh don't say it too loudly, but could he be improving?

Adamson has made an average of 42 tackels in the 2 games so far - our top tackler. Cashmere has made most carries and metres. http://www.superleague.co.uk/statistics ... 9&hp2=2569

The numbers don't lie!!!!!

I might be mistaken (ill hold my hands up if i am) but Wakeys 2nd to last try, knocked the ball on about 30yrd from our line, from the resulting scrum they crashed over and killed the game.

All im saying is we tried to push the pass and it backfired.

Also watching Boots and all, showed Sibbits Disallowed try,Cullen analysis was abit confusing on why it was disallowed.

I dont speak Cullen but what i got was :

" The touch judge thought it was a try, the in goal judge thought it was too, but the referee looked to the far touch judge who was looking for somthing else and it was a good decition"
