Re: Great test for Tony : Mon Apr 09, 2012 7:15 pm  

A few things for us to remember;

1/ We are not as good as we think.
2/ Every team needs 2 half backs on the pitch at any 1 time.
3/ Our pack is too old.
4/ o Brien is our hb alomgside Briers.
5/ This hammering has been long overdue
6/ Anymore trips to Australia should be scrapped
7/ Hodgson's best years were at Huddersfiels, and yet, he is still 1 of our best playes.
8/ Westwood ( alongside Nat Woods) has been our best signinging in the last 20 years.
9/ We miss Louis Anderson......see number 8.
10/ Smith, by his record, will not be here next year.
11/ Catalans are a very under-rated team, and in Scott Dureau have ( Alongside Young Sam at Wigan) the best ball-playing-thinker in the game
12/ Bridge is a Hb and not a centre.
13/ Myler should be immediately given back to Widnes.

The team is going nowhere fast, and quickly becoming the Man City of RL.

Won a packet today, but that was bloody annoying.

The team needs to give the tackle bags some hammer this week. Too much s cragging and not enough solid tackles going in resulting in Catalans breaking the line on too many occasions. Right across the board tackles were missed. GOB seemed to be one of the only ones who had read the tackling manual.

GOB didn't actually play today.

No mate, wake up and smell the ribena.

Please don't tell me you have not seen a hammering coming. Maybe you should turn your back on the game when the opposition have the ball. As a fair few on this site obviously do.

Re: Great test for Tony : Mon Apr 09, 2012 7:38 pm  

Bit of perspective needed I think. The game, for me, turned on two or three incidents. When Bridge broke and sent a poor pass out to Monaghan, he could easily have stepped inside the defender and gone in himself. Would have put us level at least at that point. Instead, we soon had the farce at the other end where Monaghan and Hodgson between them contrived to let the ball bounce resulting in Anderson's try. Thus a ten point HT deficit rather than parity or even a small lead.

Also, Pryce stopping Hodgson from grounding was a big moment. The fact the Dragons scored three times in the last ten minutes put a bit of a gloss on the scoreline for them - it was a closer game than the margin suggested, though they were undeniably the better side.

Warrington do look disjointed at present, that's for sure, but I don't think there's any disgrace in getting beaten by a decent-looking side. The next three SL games are eminently winnable - six points from these fixtures will see us on 21 points after 14 rounds. Which is one more than at the same stage last season...

Agree with some + others not but some valid points nevertheless.

Re: Great test for Tony : Mon Apr 09, 2012 7:39 pm  

Certainly Wigan and Widnes just didn't show enough ability to take advantage of our bad play and slip-ups, unlike Saints who pretty much took full advantage. We were beaten by a better side today, and whilst we didn't play well, there won't be many sides who get anything out in Catalan this season based on what I've seen today.

I thought the post a few above might be a wind-up but now I'm not so sure.
