Reckon you could win this

turned it off after 22mins, a worse defensive display i've never seen! truely truely awful.

Sadly not.

Do we even have one?

Much better in the second half. We didn't deserve to win after that first half shambles though. Bradford did enough and got the points. Mitchell's positional play in defence is awful! He flaps his arms about like they are on fire. You wouldn't stop a snooker player with that technique.

Have to say I have never noticed before what a dirty piece of work L'estrange is before. Very niggly, always trying to wind up the opposition, pushing people off the tackle before its even completed, hands in all over slowing the play of the ball down. Got away with it though.

Thought you did well to get it from 18 points to 8 points in the second half, showed a lot of character at that point. Tipping you to win Salford next week.

For me Mitchell offers us very little. Poor on defence on several occasions and doesnt have much in attack. I would rather us play John Davies.

I would rather us play Steve Davis. At least you are guaranteed a sharp waistcoat. Mitchell needs to get a bloody hair cut. It is obviously affecting his peripheral vision.

yes its set up for a cracking game between us and castleford next week even with salford having a poor record there.il will be there anyway hoping for a great day out

We shouldn't really be surprised with that 1st half performance.

The club is in a real mess both on & off the field. The blame for this starts at the very top, all the way down to the players.

I can't wait to receive my season ticket renewal letter

second half from cas was much better.. but the game defensively was terrible from both sides..nice to see both teams scoring some nice try's though..

Just looks too slow and unfit to me.

He wouldn't make my 17 at all.

Nail on head.

well your tune has changed!

He was at fault for 2 tries today though.

I have never rated Mitchell if I'm honest.

It's Griffin I dislike people bagging.

why the hell didnt we play a hooker ADAM MILNER

Or even hudson for that matter? Milner is bringing on the water and we have a second rower at hooker. Baffling.

Couldn't work out why we had our most effective winger at full back?? Surely Dicko would have been better at FB, also i thought Griffen had one of his better games at centre , always said he's a better centre than a winger.
I felt for Oli Holmes , he tackled his balls off but was let down by his team mates IMO , Cracking tackle on Bateman only to see Mitchell watch Bateman stretch out and score!!

Delboy66(aye of the Tigers fanzine)

Yup. The Bateman try was frustrating. If we had a more experienced fullback, or a decent looseforward I don't think that would have been a try. Not getting at Youngquest in any any, I think he had a good game but when attacking players are that close to the line, you have to go for the ball or the arm not the body.

Playing no recognised hooker or full back sums up millward for me. Instead of Milner and or Hudson (2 hookers) we persist with a second rower (jones) and McGoldrick. And instead of a full back in Owen (or mathers who we loaned out to our nearest and dearest) we playing a pretty aussie boy winger who cant tackle.

Can't for the life of me work the Milner situation out , how can we have one of our brightest prospects being the waterboy??? Ive no probs with Younquest as i think hes one of our most attacking players however he isn't and never will be a fullback (imo) , Why was Emmit dropped ??? anyone know??

Delboy66(aye of the tigers fanzine)

Emmitt & Milner both offer more to the team than Jones (when he plays hooker anyway) & Mitchell, it's just poor coaching not selecting Milner, Emmitt hasn't been as good this year as last but dropping him 2 weeks running is a bit overkill.

I just can't understand some of the decisions made by Basil. I think Emmitt has been outstanding since he signed and he just seems to be used in a bit part role at the moment. Milner should also be playing especially with Clark being out injured. There seems to be no confidence within the team, and I think people are losing patience with the performances that are being put in.

I wonder why Owen was dropped ?

Santa suit due back from the dry cleaners ?
