Totally agree,having said that 34 points leaked against the team that was bottom of the league not very good.Got to say still thought we would be good enough to win tonight.

Very disappointing result. Thought this would be a decent barometer for where we're at. Could we back up a decent result and build some momentum? Apparently not.
After last season's slow starts in the early rounds, we now seem to lack composure at the back end of games. Back to square one, a bit. Against Wire and Leeds getting burned is excusable, against Bradford and Cas, you've got to look to yourselves a fair bit when you chuck away a winning position.
No point getting too down, but we've got a long way to go to get that consistency that coaches are always talking about. Ah, well.

Our last 15-20 minutes of games is horrendous. When we went 10 points in front the game should have being closed out.

Re: vs Castleford : Fri Mar 30, 2012 9:08 pm  

The defence was shocking all game. No lessons appear to be learnt.

My worry is that cas are due a performance and a win. after our efforts last week i worry we relax a bit and get caught cold.

No Defence,Can we have a coach who can improve our defence because until that happens we are not going to get anywhere.Mr Sandercock talks a lot of sense but defensively we are no better than we were last season.Not enough experience for me.

Judging by the amount of ball Cas had in the last 10-15 minutes, I'd say we can defend pretty well (when we want to).

We are not consistent though and that's the problem for me, but it was always going to be this season.

Tbh, we're a middling team and like most of those around us, we're erratic. There'll be good games like last week (and I've just got the DVD so that is some consolation for me at least ), and there'll be bad. Out of it by half-time is more dispiriting, late collapses are more painful. Might take up knitting!
Anyway, I had a point... oh, yes - transitional year, building for the future, live, love, laugh and be happy, stick with 'em, all that stuff.

According to your coach the ref was an important factor.

Again.

Is that every loss he's blamed on the ref now?

Re: vs Castleford : Fri Mar 30, 2012 9:14 pm  

Have to say i think we are at a crossroad as a club,if we dont invest in some better players how we gonna fill a new stand,people aint gonna come just because we've got a nice stand,they are only going to come if we have a winning team.We are in the bracket of teams that are fighting for 7th to bottom and if anybody thinks different they are kidding themselves,how we change that i dont know,hurt's me to say it but the Dullers are leaving us a long way behind as Adam Pearson is putting his money were his mouth is.

Re: vs Castleford : Fri Mar 30, 2012 9:16 pm  

Sandercock needs to get this season out the way and start to bring in the players who will play well with his structures. I'm guessing 2013 will be another revolving door for players. with rumours of 8 players set for the door.

This season isn't over yet however and getting Galea, Green, O'Hara, Webster & Hall on the field will be massive.
