Good first half.
Foot off gas second, next week on the minds?

At the end of the day a win is a win, I'd rather it than losing.

Hopefully Gids and Soliola back for Friday

Pretty much agree with that, and crusaders weren't that bad

We looked lost when Pryce went off, that's when we started to struggle, especially in attack. We seemed to lack creativity without him, was man of the match by a mile, IMO.

I'm not convinced we took our foot off the gas in the second half. We totally lost shape. But whatever the reason was for our second half performance we need to adopt a 100% better attitude for next week or else we will be in for a hiding.

I was impressed by the Crusaders in the second half. They exploited all their opportunities and showed some real creativity and pace. Two of their tries were amazing.

Anyone spot Crusaders holding down?

agree with that not happy with wilkin again hope wellens is back for next week

Wilkin does alot more than Flannery though...

Runs some good lines and gaps does Wilko

point is after going 36..12 up...we shouldnt have just won the game with just 7points.

I thought Wilkin had a pretty decent game tbh. Especially in the first half.

dixon should be playing before flannery brings nothing to the team

If I was in work and went to sleep half way through a shift I would be sacked.

On another point where was Tont P?

I've been asking that since Feb 09

Good 50 minutes, terrible 30 minutes. We were really poor in that 2nd half after a good first half performance. The scoreline could've been embarrassing in the end and 58pts conceded in 2 games is a concern. We'll need to defend alot better next week.

Tony P, rested? Injured? Can't be ANOTHER injury surely!

He was sat in the stand near me.

I dont know if he was injured. However his performances this season havent been upto scratch, and have been below the other forwards in the team.

Was glad to see Bryn start as he has been excellent this season and deserves on current form to be in the starting 17

You must have been sat near me then by default as I was also near the big man.

Just seen a few tries on Sky Sports News, have the pubeless fools who got Cullen sacked moved to Knowsley Road? Awful lot of booing going on.

See you next week.

Best place for him

The booing was in reference to some Ref decisions and lying on, it wasn't directed at the Team

As I said to Tony Stark, Bryn's transformation has made it hard for me to be his only fan and potential gentleman lover. He's developing nicely, and starting to make some excellent yards, and having some actual impact into the tackle.

I always knew he could do it.

I LOVE YOU BRYN HARGREAVES!

I think the reason we caught a cold in the second half was because we got cocky after scoring the Moore/Clough try. We ran the subsequent kick-off back with sweeping passing moves from our own line, lost the ball and never recovered. I don't think our drop off in the last 20mins was disinterest, it was over-confidence. That's probably a slightly more positive thing to take us to the Wire as I doubt we'll ever get the chance in that game to think we have it in the bag.

Spot on

You're dead right I'm cr*pping it for next week; I reckon we are going to get beat and it won't be funny or pretty. Not a nice way to finish our final KR previous winning run run against the dire.

Hope I'm wrong, but hanging in against a team dire should have put 60+ against last week is not inspiring especially with our injuries.
I've just got to get used to our new status in SL as being slightly above average.
Obviously this is just my humble opinion.
honestly I'm not defeatist; just getting used to a new reality and looking forward to a new stadium.

You took the words out of my mouth.

the second half display was pathetic .To be holding on against Crusaders is an indictment of the players and Mr Charisma Potter.The big guns of RL are laughing at us.
