Kendal should kick the inevitable next one!

Our players, deary me. They get a leg up at the start of the 2nd half and then concede. Nothing to do with the coach this.

I think one of our halves need dropping. The good news is our new pack signings look decent but we need structure and game plan.

Refs ruined this. Told you that was inevitable.

Navarete ran into Crowther. Wtf

Ref didn't offload that then

What’s the difference between Currie running into the defender chasing the grubber, which is a 20 tap, and the Catalan player running into Crowther which ends in a sin bin?

Just as lackluster and plodding as usual, with the addition of even poorer discipline, fantastic, well done Sam.

This is garbage as a spectacle, no different to last year as far as officiating goes.

We’ve made some brain farts as evidenced by the Wrench pass.
Not sure what make of this except Powell has a big job on his hands.

Powell?

what a load of rubbish

both as a performance and as a spectacle... I've never been so underwhelmed watching the opening games of the season on sky.

like watching paint dry.

What you blaming the ref for? We're crap. The ref didn't make Dufty pull out of his catch, the ref didn't make us put a bus between centre and winger for their latest try. WE didn't take advantage of being a player up for a good 25 minutes before we got pinged. Making excuses.

This.

Burgess should be raging, his players are effortless

Was expecting a heavier defeat so quite relieved. We were well beaten by their pack and our half backs offered nothing in attack. No disgrace in that result though. Mid table side.

Not impressed

Always next year, guys.

Sam's got his work cut out that's for sure.

I blamed the ref because he was gash, we were too, didn't help ourselves, couldn't beat 12 men but I'm not surprised.

Same old problem ,getting marched downfield to easily . The most dangerous we looked was in the last 20 seconds when Ashton got hold of the ball .

See nowts changed..won't be watching on Friday got Sumert better to do.. thankfully

It'll be interesting to see how quickly people work out that a lot of Ashton's impact last season was supported by Ratchford's centre play. Whereas King's first impulse is to head infield.

I have to say though...that Sims tackle on Williams was EPIC

Weirdly I thought we were decent and are laying a foundation. There’s a good side there and it will emerge.

Positives

Conceding only 2 tries.
Players looked "together"
Vaughan picked up where he left off.
We look fitter.

Concerns

Pack easily beaten. Dudson and Philbin are ineffective prop forwards.
We dont look threatening in opposition 30m.
Halfbacks dont create many opportunites.
Dumb rugby / discipline.

Fitzgibbon looked v decent and i thought Musgrove did well too.

Halves MUST do better though. Williams doesn't look much of a Marquee player on tonight's performance. Own the game, Son.

Drinkwater was awful again.
