Our defence and ball control is embarrassing atm. Fans can blame childs' all they want but when your spilling the ball on your second set/first tackle then tackle like it's tag rugby you can't do anything. Frustration from the players yes but too many poor attempts to tackle from minute 1. Think teams have found us out, keep the ball alive throw it around and we can't cope

Wtf is wrong with the forwards? Forwards where atrocious. Taylor Watts Bowden invisible. Back row a bit better and Washbrook terrible. Play Houghton against Leigh or lose again

Not surprised in Bowdens case as he went down early and struggled before going off very early and not coming back. Thought it was a strange move by Radford to start with all 3 to be honest.

Just think Radford should have changed things as for 4 games running we have been poor and nothing has changed at all.

We lack desire and looked like 13 individuals instead of a team. Has Agar returned in secret?

Deja vu.
Defence absolute garbage again.
Hammered on the penalty count again (or at least felt like it).
2 players sin binned again.
Not quite a crisis yet but something needs to change quick, shipping in 104 points in 2 games is shocking.

Also Child is absolute rubbish.

Child is a poor referee but you cant blame him for us dropping the ball,conceding needless penalties.Sneyd kicking the ball out twice giving them 7 tackles,one which they scored from.
We would have still lost today even with a perfect referee.
It will be good to get Tuimavave back on Monday.I would drop Griffin he is hopeless in defence given his size.
Need to get some speed at the play the ball but Litten is just too lightweight at the moment and our pack is not dominant so until Danny Houghton is back its Washbrook.He trys but is way too slow at dummy half .
Questions should be asked why Hadley is not recalled.Not possible today because of injuries but Radford is running Mini and Manu into the ground once again.

Bowden? Got injured, played on and went off early

Re: Good Friday v Leeds : Fri Apr 14, 2017 5:08 pm  

Absolute shambles. houghton is a big miss but the last 2 performances are inexcusable. At least we're promised we'll finish the season well so should steer clear of the £1 million game

Teams with pace that Keep the ball alive,fast hands along the line and forwards that offload at every opportunity thats the name of the game this year.
Its why i said both Salford and Leeds would turn us over.
Castleford are the masters of this and will tear us apart.

Did I blame Child for those things?

I simply said he was rubbish which I think even Leeds fans would agree with.

Our discipline has been terrible lately and that can't soley be down to bad refereeing I agree.

Ultimately what lost us the game was terrible goal line defence. Once again the game was largely over as a contest by half time.

Our lack of a second hooker is hurting atm. I reckon Connor would have done a spell off the bench today if Talanoa hadn't gone off early.
