Poor play by Mcshane for their 3rd try. Went a bit downhill after that but improvement there to see. Better than I thought we'd be today.

Re: Catalan vs Wakefield : Sat Jun 20, 2015 6:11 pm  

Couldn't fault the effort or the desire today.
First ten minutes we weren't at the races. Middle sixty we were the best side, last ten we were very unlucky and our tank was empty.
Reasons to be cheerful!!

I the kids have gone to bed now the adults have come out to play.

Re: Catalan vs Wakefield : Sat Jun 20, 2015 6:20 pm  

Much much better but T. Smith still very in effective. We had plenty of possession on their line but created nothing from half back. Looking forward to the Hull game , lets hope we see even more improvement.

Based on today’s performance, if we can improve week on week it’ll make the middle eight very interesting.

There could be a couple of teams coming into the middle eight feeling pretty low after just missing out on the top eight & could be vulnerable, us on the other hand are building towards the final bunfight.

Sure there were some silly decisions from numerous players but the structures looked much improved & the fitness didn’t seem too shoddy.

Great effort lads.

It was actually disappointing we didn't go onto win a very winnable game, so that must be progress. We stayed in the arm wrestle for a large part of the game, and at times we actually resembled a hard working team. Obviously still lots to improve on, but a very gutsy effort in hard conditions. I thought Miller did ok, at least the lad has heart, which is more than Craig Hall has in that position. Tim Smith for me is the main weak link attacking wise, at times I just don't know what planet he is on, but unless we sign someone else, I don't see any alternatives. Also Riley has come in for a lot of stick but I thought he played quite well, a real gutsy effort so good on em.....

Hope we can all chip in if MC faces the wrath of the RL for his brilliant comments online today.
Great to see the support he has had from RL fans across the league.
Lost count of the number of other RL teams fans i have seen on social media that hated us with a passion under previous regimes that now have a great rapport and respect for our chairman.

Re: Catalan vs Wakefield : Sat Jun 20, 2015 6:41 pm  

A good all round team effort I thought and yes some you could some pick as less effective but they played for each other and the speed around the ruck coupled with the enthusiasm today gives me a feeling of optimism which I didn't have 3 weeks ago
Well done to all... Onwards and upwards.

Re: Catalan vs Wakefield : Sat Jun 20, 2015 7:04 pm  

Credit where it is due we did look much better but our need for a specialist and if possible fast centre or centres was an obvious weakness. Miller can run the ball out but sadly cannot tackle which for a full back this is a bit limiting.
Riley looked weak and our lack of pace is a problem. We also need more forward strength but not a hooker which we currently have covered.
