Embarassing regardless of injuries.

what is going with these players ? have they packed in the club ?

But how did moa not get sent off?!

It wasn't late, but it was a reckless challenge. Only reason he's not gone for the game is it didn't really connect with the head.

We are making errors that amateurs would get reamed for...

Better

Much, lets hope we don't knock the kick off on...

Criminal errors when youre already up against it. Ward has been one of the worst

We look tired and have little go forward with a small pack, But some of James childs decisions have been shocking especially in opening minute I'm fairly certain there was a forward pass and a knock on that led to Catalans first break and then got a repeat set and then scored off it and some of penalties he's given have killed us we've had 2 and one of them was given by video ref!!!

That small pack has a pretty normal back row in it (Ferres, Ward, Delaney). We are looking terribly weak.

Looks like Ward is in trouble now.

Can they keep this up? It's better, I'm not sure it's good, but it's better. Still making dumb errors like the Myler strip.

33 -14 major problems with this team now injuries or not

That's one league win in 6 now, middle 8's form. We don't look like getting some of the injured players back soon so it's going to be a slog until the split. I wonder what the reaction would be if we were in the middle 8's again and get knocked out of the cup next week?

Juan, I know you're a big supporter of McDermott, but would that signal a need for change?

A brave effort I suppose but far too many players in the team who are really not SL standard

i cant see us, hopefully, dropping into the middle 8's.
is it time for McDermott to step down? I think it's the right time yes.
I just can't see him going though

Simply no t good enoug, I don't know what McDermott is saying to the players but it's clearly not working, we look like Huddersfield under stone, a team simply lost faith in the coach, injuries r not they went through us like a knife through butter in first 15 and we never got out of our own have, game over at 16-0

have the interviews started yet ?

I just want to see the retained list for next season

No wonder Lilley is slow - does he train full-time?

Stevie Ward showed less is more - tried too hard and had an absolute shocker - at least three tries were down to his defensive lapses. He shouldn't feel like he has to do the work of two players.

We looked a lot better with Golding at hooker than Dwyer who is a pretty poor player.

The end of 2015 was the right and perfect time, he decided not to move on. He will sadly have to be pushed it seems. Its hard to be too critical with the amount of injuries but with so many out of contract players and old players ready to retire it certainly seems a good time for a new broom to over see a changing of the guard and bring some fresh ideas to the table.

great post biff

Cheers tad, i want to make it clear im not a McDermott hater, i really admire the guy and his record stands up against anyone but 8 seasons is a huge amount of time at one club in this era, i don't want to see his tenure end like Smiths did at warrington with almost relegation after nearly a decade at the helm. He has nothing left to prove or achieve with us, just let someone else have a go.

I agree. it needs freshening up. I think it's stale

Great post

Think we all agree Biff but think we all know its not going to happen.
