Long term I think a really good fullback could become an excellent one.!

Part of my frustration with Dufty signing is that, of all positions, we are well stocked at fullback. Ratchford, Thewlis and Ashton are all full backs by trade, then Matautia could back up. It’s a quick fix

I agree with this and if the forwards go well next year, oh for a proper half

Our back three v Wigan looked very frail. Oh those golden days ... when we had Ratchford, Lineham & Charnley!
Our lads currently look lovely in space but the game is rarely like that. It is pretty obvious what Tolouse will do.

The stats from the game don’t make good reading for the forward pack, Walker had the most metres! That is very worrying. Clark made 2 metres, he must have stumbled!!

Really hoped the club would take some desicive action today and put Powell out of his misery. Wonder if we'll still be in SL when the board realise that his appointment was a huge mistake.

As I said a couple of weeks ago,

"The silence from the club is deafening"

When will Middleton, Lomax and Moran realise that we are in CRISIS. Their appointment has failed, and continues to. Is it vanity? They can't admit to their own failures?

Bar a defeat on Thursday, or dare I say it, relegation later on, he's 100% sure to be here, when the players return to training, to prepare for 2023. I've come to terms with that. Just like I came to terms with his appointment in Spring last year.

Again, I'll give you my quote, when that [iauspicious [/i announcement was made

"shrugs shoulders with disappointment"
The board have ####ed up

They KNOW it
We KNOW it
The whole of RL KNOW it.

We've become a laughing stock.

I'm gutted. He's ####ed the club up, good and proper, and the board continue to behave like ostriches. It's like getting a big gas bill when you've got nothing in your bank account, putting it in your drawer, hoping it'll go away, only to see it, every time you open said drawer.

Just go.

PLEASE.

The only way to win another game is to make the change, the players will respond to a new face. The more I hear fans say "Powell will be here in 2023" the more I feel

you'll be fine, toulouse wont win another game and next years additions will make you very, very strong

I'd be interested to see the stats, where can I find them?

Did Cooper batter us as predicted?

Not seen the stats but from memory Singleton was the one that was battering us

Such a shame for Mulhearn. He puts a lot off effort in but doesn't make much impact.

Currie should take note.

Made more meters than our starting props combined.

This is completely fabricated and untrue.

Cooper 98
Singleton 110
Mago 64
Isa 96
Smithies 110
Ellis 88
Partington 68
Byrne 50
Pearce-Paul 87
Shorrocks 9
Nicholson 36
Mikaele 41
Clark D 50
Currie 58
Holmes 53
Clark J 2
Bullock 48
Walker 69
Mulhern 54
Harrison 36

Designing undies is fairly fabricated!

That is shocking..how long was j Clark on for??? Or is his 2 metres a mis print

Came on about ten minutes left, when it was all one way traffic

It’s a waste of a sub really. You can tell by the stats that we struggled for momentum and to make meters. So to put a defensive workhorse on the bench for 60 minutes is absolute madness.

Amor is a solid player, low risk. Just takes the ball up, no flair. He would have been ideal to have on the bench just to add another body.

I’m not condoning only carrying the ball for 2 meters, that is unforgivable. But let’s face it, you don’t pick Jason Clark on his barnstorming attacking prowess. You pick him to chase kicks, make tackles and lead in the middle with an experienced voice. Either start him, or bring him on in the fatigue zones (25 - 40 mins and 60 - 80 mins) where a calm voice might just keep your line from being breached.

This 100%. One of the MANY reasons why the price “era” frustrated the bejesus out of me, he always used him as a kind of impact sub. Total madness and a waste of time for him and us for 3 bloomin years!

i dont think amor is fit, i was at the captains run thang last week, he was off for half of that doing passing drills with what i presume was whitehead and another academy forward

I've had enough of these fans comments now. The fans always get behind the team at the start of every game. The fans have paid hundreds of pounds for season tickets and merchandise and have been sorely let down. Fans got behind the team at Wigan and we got the biggest defeat of the round. Look after what's on the pitch and the fans will look after themselves. The fans are not the reason we are losing 70% of our games. Quote "We absolutely need the fans 100 per cent through this game," he said. "We need to make this stadium feel like it's buzzing. It's absolutely pivotal to what we want to do for the remainder of the season. I'd urge fans to be behind the players. "I have a lot of people talk to me on a regular basis about understanding where we're at, and I know not everyone sees that, but whether you se it or not, this right here, right now is a pivotal game for us. Fans always play a part in the vibe on the field and they can 100 per cent do that here by being behind the players. They can make a difference."'" https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/sport/ru ... ubcYxqpOyU " what we want to do for the remainder of the season" - what's that? scrape a win against Toulouse and lose the remaining games once the pressure is off?

It’s textbook gaslighting really. Basically asking people not to voice their opinion unless it’s a positive one. I was at Wigan, and have been to most games, and the atmosphere is generally quite positive at the start of the game, good effort gets rewarded with a clap and a song. But people object to conceding 30 points points without response. The fans were that far behind the club, a significant number boo’d a player who had given 10 years service on the notion that he makes T-shirts on club time, and for that reason he needed to be booted out of the club. The critics, those fee paying fans, are the barometer of acceptances. If they start going against you, you’re on the way out. Unless, you can manipulate them into not voicing their opinion. Limit the vocal critics, limit the criticism.

Prior to the match tomorrow the fans will be right behind the team they as the game kicks off, if it starts going pear shaped then there will be many more critics than the club expect. We have paid our money and we will react to what we see, fingers crossed its positive.

Because it's such a crucial game, people are being asked to just postpone their gripes, for one match, to help the club avoid relagation.

I know it'll be hard for some to stop moaning for 80 minutes, but fear not, the rest of the week allows around 10000 minutes worth of time to complain (10080 minutes in a week).

Next season should be interesting when we get the big bruisers on the field .I hope they can do more than 10 minutes otherwise we could run out of subs pretty quickly during games. Not to mention of course that they could be prone to the the odd suspension or two.
