I've been a passholder for near enough 30 years. I cannot remember feeling like this about my club, or the game in general. This post will be a bit unstructured, and ranty, but if you can't offload on a forum, where can you?
I actually feel a bit sorry for Hodgson - Covid, mass injuries, poorly managed salary cap, trying to get some new players in etc. But...the style of rugby is appalling. Our discipline is embarassing. Purtill - no idea what he does.
In terms of the players...
Connor - needs to keep his frigging mouth shut, texting Radders all week - just focus on the game you idiot.
McIntosh - didnt look fit, passed his fitness test, but didn't look at it.
Mitch - maybe one of our best tonight, but lacks that spark top centres need. Good squad player
Wynne - his head is going to completely ruin his career for me - great ability, but he's either sulking that his best mate has been shown the door, or he's doing *something* away from the pitch that is affecting his head!
Simm - meh
Gale - Retire mate - you're done
Taylor - Retire mate - you're done. He is soooo sloooow, like running in treacle, then does slow leg drive, which just slows everything down
Houghton - bit better tonight, but he needs to be rotating the hooking role
Lovodua - Honestly, the last 6-8 weeks, he's been pretty poor for me. He isn't a half, and he definitely isn't a 2nd row. If rumours are that he refuses to play 9, then what can we do with him?
Lane - doesn't look at it this year at all
Johnstone - waste of a shirt
Evans - Decent 1st half, good offloads
Sao - reckless at times - probably a 3-4 game ban coming now as well
Brown - poor tonight, but got a great future
Then it comes to RL itself. The refereeing is just abysmal - players moaning, diving, complaining. Video Ref decisions taking ages, the try or no try decision as it goes up is pathetic. SKY commentary is shocking, no excitement from them, getting players names wrong etc. It all just feels like its dying a slow death at the moment
