fredm Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Why are we playing in a grey kit when Toronto are wearing their normal black and white kit which gives the appearance of being black and grey? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep The Faith Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Our centres need to stop shooting in when we are defending the last tackle http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairman LMAO Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 This is predictably depressing. Toronto aren't even out of second gear here and they are looking set to steamroller us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il cattivo Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 we are such a poor poor side. no confidence or organisation. amateurish and slow.

The squad has really gone backwards over the last 3 years. The class of 2015 would have annihilated this lot, I'm afraid. Too many errors. Far too many errors. I fear for our survival this year as everyone seems to have improved apart from us. Dark days indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9' oller Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Thought we've given it a go but starved of possession first quarter and now there speed of spreading ball to edge is lethal. Not one of their players should be playing in our league bet their wage bill is more than wakey, salford, hull kr etc. 'Shaw cross juniors, Birkenshaw, Mirfield, Heckmondwike Panthers, Stainland Stags and then the Heavy woolen donkeys...

Johndeere Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 To be fair yes their much better than us but how many of their players would swallow our total wage bill And their getting nothing off the ref either O Brian should have had a yellow card if not a red had it been the other way I’m sure we’d be down to 12 I think we’re showing sprit just starved of possession Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggystyle Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 I agree to some extent John. It should have been a card for O'Brien. We have shown grit but no real plan once again. Tackling like toddlers. No way back in this game and time for Diskin to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great having spirit, but that needs underpinning with a game plan. It's also worth noting we aren't really testing Toronto here - I suspect they are playing well within themselves and could step up a couple of gears if they needed to.

9' oller Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 But that's what they've done since inception. Blast 4 or 5 converted tries down get ref on their end and then kick back a bit. My lad whos 8 realises that it's an unfair playing field but overall second half was enjoyable or edible I'm not sure which. All batley 're we?

toffeedog Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 was it me or did he play Tomlinson at hooker saw him pack in the scrum at hooker if so his diskin on drugs ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il cattivo Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 at one point smeaton and galbraith packed down as props. think its the nature of the game these days that when we dont have head and feed our best defenders stay out of the pack as scrums are just a futile gesture at restarting the game...

silverback Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 some rubbish tackles,woefull play a ball at times before it rained,devoid of ideas, how galbraith got away with his gobfull a effin n jeffin at side a ref i dont know unless hes deaf. so at least 6 will be out next week if disco sticks to his plan, get ourselfs a 7 a side Rl setup and we could be top a league, only think i would note is if i were stuck for a few players due to injuries and seen that game. manning.scotty, cropper brownie and gledders would be my target.

Dark days indeed. Think a huge clear out (including coach) is called for at the end of this season. enforced or not (depending on which league we are in). if only we'd had a decent coach for last 3 years things could have been so different.
