I’ve sort of kept my council on the Cas away game, I did think a lot of opinions pre game were a little over confident to say the least, frankly regardless of who we have playing/missing, or who plays where, doesn’t matter a jot to me as long as we give all we have, that’s always enough for me, regardless of any results, on this occasion, we were. dumb, at times lazy and lethargic, so very disappointing.
Warry overturned at home by a very under strength Cats team, Wigan very nearly losing to Toulouse etc. thankfully it’s not just us.
On the game itself Jake was poor by his standards, and unfortunately when he’s not right, we’ve got not much else. He’s still the best player on the park, even after that.
Joey looks a breath of fresh air, but without wanting to add more pressure to his decision making, maybe BH could of left him at dummy half as he was looking good there, instead of allowing Danny to resume when he returned, and moving Joey back to the pack, we definitely lost something when this happened, I think I remembered that correctly, apologies if I’m not right, not read or wanted to see much about the game.
Jamie is not a winger, anyone who went will know this.
I have a different take on most regarding the balance of our team, not a knee jerk reaction from Sunday though, I know it’s probably a monetary pipe dream, but I’d love to see a top class full back causing destruction joining the line like Ben Barba, and Jake mastering the halfback position with a running scrum half, there is no earthly reason Jake can’t control a game from six like he does when in attack mode, his defensive frailties would then not be so obvious.
Some quite good posts on here recently, many of different opinions, Headingley next to the umbrella end.
It’s a long drawn out problem which our club hasn’t or couldn’t address, attitude, or mental strength, we’ve a soft underbelly which continues to haunt us.
