Makes my pisssss boil in these games people always talk about how many players the super league side have missing. Rovers had loads out today as well, both our main half back pairing wernt playing Briggs and Kain neither

Terrible performance 1st half. Watts, Thompson and Westerman the 3 standouts with dreadful 15-20 mins. Bowden and Whiting the only 1st teamer that looked interested. Didnt look good for Green who came out on crutches and a boot.
2nd half felt sorry for the youngsters who got chucked in at the deep end by Radford who has got so much wrong this pre season. Who takes a squad of 25+ players without a hooker, crazy. Im ready for the " geling as a team" excuses from Radford in the early rounds of SL, thats why you have pre season trial games

Moore Fevs 7 looked really good. The best player on the pitch by far.

The 1st half display was the most disappointing to me,inept in every aspect of the game.

Not actually read the thread, have you?

So going on that theory, the CC final didn't matter to them?

no, that was unusual circumstances, the weather led to handling errors and a lack of possession, and our poor attacking play made it impossible for us to win. And as the time ran out the players started to panic and make yet more errors.

To those fans who went did any players stand out? I know in such a scoreline it's hard to think of positives but hell right now we need some

The whole team, infact, you weren't even playing.

I'm sure he'll be better in a few years when he's ready to step up to coaching a pro RL side.

Oh, hang on...

So who in the starting line-up would you say were non-tryers then ?

Shaul, Lineham, Crooks, Yeaman, Stark, Horne, Rankin, Watts, Hadley, Bowden, Thompson, Whiting, Westerman

I didn't go today so can't comment on today's efforts.

but based on the previous 2 seasons I'd say that Yeaman, Watts & Westerman are three in particular that put in very patchy, inconsistent displays and all three have an air of arrogance about them IMO.

Maybe someone dropped out at the last minute, but lets assume the worst.
