I hope there's some quality in there . We can't compete with the top teams but we need to get it right this year , we've had two goes at the Championship now and failed miserably.

I think he was ready to go at the end of last season .

Zarrin's a quality player and has thrown himself into the area and the club, you need exciting players like him. Tallentire looks exciting , does he wait his chance or play both . I'm not an advocate of moving players from their natural position especially in the backs. If Leigh didn't have a two year contract i wouldn't be retaining him, needs to step up this year. Is he really a centre?

He signed a two year contract.

Who didn't ! IMO his day was most days.

We need a good clearout, it doesn't mean we'll be any better though.

He'll be hard to replace!

Very good article . I don't think a lack of coaching experience matters as Pryce, Ashton and Platt all did well in their first season.

I don't think i can come up with a plan forward because i don't know if we'll have less to spend. Losing Atiga was massive as was losing Bradley and Guy Graham for most of the season. There's a good player in Oscar but he'll never stay fit. Overseas recruitment was abysmal and were worse than what we had. The main thing seems to be that this club has had two goes now at the championship recently and don't seem to be able to bridge the gap either in recruitment or attitude. Time and again we see teams who have game management in terms of restricting errors and brain farts and have a lively old head at halfback behind a hard running bustling pack. We're too ponderous and dumb. I have felt sorry for Jonty and Graeme but it's good we're having a change now and a clearout i expect.

He is now but who isn't?

Oh come on Trouty he was dross, but we're good at making players look bad.

My mate summed it up.. Dallimore plays on our dumbness. That's been the story of our season, too many dumb errors. Today it was dumbness in the defence. Lawther excellent , he didn't even break stride he just ran through people, i guess we won't see him next year. Tallentire looks a quality player.

It looks like Jaiden Tallentire is getting a debut unless Jammer goes to fullback or Jack to centre. Obviously talented , is he ready?

What's the overriding thought on the game? Good effort well done or FFS another game we threw away? Most people seem to go with the latter.

"Shot ourselves in the foot" and "frustrating". .. every game the same.
