frustrating ame all round, compared to the two games at the start of last year we are a long way from that.
Work to be done and players need a bollocking, the discipline was bloody awful at times.

Re: Catalan home game : Thu Feb 23, 2017 11:00 pm  

Very frustrating.
Catalan came with a plan and we fell for it !
We look very poor with ball in hand , if Sneyd's kicks don't come off we lack ideas . Hopefully Kelly will bring a plan b !
Conner is not a halfback, that was clearly evident tonight .
Also get Fonua back in the centre where he belongs !
Our descipline is terrible , timing was way out . Maybe a few more needed some more pre season game time instead of making our pre season a run out for the under 23 's !

Re: Catalan home game : Thu Feb 23, 2017 11:06 pm  

Really poor performance, shocking discipline (this was bad in pre season and hasn't improved), handling and being dumb. Defence was good, but that's about it, too early to write players and the team off, but need big improvement across the park.

its only game 2, our defence in the last 2 games looks fine, we are struggling in attack though, Kelly will help that and with more games we should get better, our bench looks light imo, A match we could have won but fair play to cats,

Awful game. From the first minute to the last fc were awful. Credit to Catalans, they played a blinder, slowing the game right down and sucking us into it (and hicks). Have to question the dragons gamesmanship tactics though, how long does play stop for minor treatment?

Totally agree with pre season game time needed. We look poor with ball in hand low skills. Don't want to be gloomy but!

your right about Thompson, we need to get Hadley turgut or masi on the bench give us a bit more grunt,

Don't get what the big downer is with Thompson by some on here. He certainly wasn't the poorest player out there.
And how do you know turgut or masi will give us more grunt?

Re: Catalan home game : Thu Feb 23, 2017 11:23 pm  

its not a downer, he tries his best but most people think hes just a decent squad player, as for turgut and masi, I don't know but I would like to see them given a chance,
