town4me 973 Report post Posted September 8 Dis-interested no motivation. Doran IS NOT a FB. feel sorry for the 2 or 3 who had a go today. Clear our and rebuild needed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DavidM 7,289 Report post Posted September 8 (edited) I’ve seen some depressing stuff but that was down there . If they’d said they weren’t interested I’d have saved my money . Literally can’t complete a set , do any basics . Just barely going through the motions with the ball , summed up by 5 drives at the line followed by an obstruction . Truly terrible , almost too terrible like there’s something going on . Touched up by the team above us who barely had to do anything out the ordinary we were so abject and useless .As far Doran , he’s always carried timber but Jesus he’s off the scale Edited September 8 by DavidM 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Onreport 290 Report post Posted September 8 First time in a very long time i have left a game before whistle, absolutely pathetic peformance, appeared totally disinterested today. Big big rebuild needed top to bottom I am sad to say. Can put up with lack of class but not effort i am afraid 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One of the most abysmal performances I’ve had the unfortunate pleasure to witness. Don’t really know what to think about it because it was so bad, apart from a couple of players there was no pride, commitment or desire. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You get far just by doing the basics like Haven . They did it today and , err , we didn’t . I think he sounds quite fed up tbh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carlisle1921 199 Report post Posted September 8 The worrying thing about that debacle is Donny didnt even look that good, they just done the basics right and completed their sets. Doran is not a fullback and never will be but even out of position he had a shocker, the knock on when he collided with rooke and missing touch with a rare penalty off that clown hewer summed his day up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dkw 3,680 Report post Posted September 8 Absolutely abysmal, not a single positive to take from that abject failure. So many stupid decisions, so many ridiculous choices. From refusing to move Doran back to the halves at some point, not bringing moi moi on when we had a full set in there line, then bringing him on minutes later when we were on our line? Not kicking a penalty to touch, then Doran running 30 metres to catch a ball going straight to rooke, then blaming him for it... Just garbage. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

donald 327 Report post Posted September 8 On the plus side you'll go to hunslet next week who you've already beat 3 times twice with depleted squads 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
townie88 466 Report post Posted September 8 (edited) Wouldn't have thought that was a team that had been on a winning run. Was as poor as I've seen for a LONG time. The passing and catching was atrocious. Probably as bad a game as I've seen penky have in a blue and white shirt. Decision making was poor and passing even worse. Theres a big clear out on the cards. Maybe a few already know they wont be here next year? Still have another bite of the cherry next week. But on that showing.... I think our season is done.

Neutralfan7 25 Report post Posted September 8 What has brought on Doran being moved to FB? Any team would see that and target him with high kicks as he would struggle to get off the floor.... surely there someone else who could go there Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You’re taking him out of the creating role , and you’re shifting O’ Donnell to an unfamiliar role as a byproduct . Just looked all disjointed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Nash 107 Report post Posted September 8 I'm guessing from these comments we were pretty awful too. Couldn't make it but it's taken wind out of my sails. Thought we'd turned corner last week. Very dissapointed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
