Well where exactly do we go from here ??? Bad as Alibut was we were worse, dropped passes, shocking discipline, drawn into an arm wrestle with a bigger stronger more enthusiastic side !!!

Same as the Wakefield game started well for 10/15 minutes then on the back foot for the rest of the game !!!

Danny Brough was anonymous, Robbo had a shocker !! Mason lost it completely !!! We just fell apart again !!!

Our completion rate must have been around 30% many more performances like this and the season ticket sales will go down !!!

Once again we are stumbling into the play offs with no form or passion it's been a long ol year !!!

Paul Anderson appears to have a long hard road in front of him !!! Is he man enough to do it ??? Time and signings and departures will give us a clue thus far the jury is out !!!!

My only criticism of Mason is he should've hit Langley with his fist and not the ball.

No enthusiasm today. Could't catch cold. Woeful. What worries me is the fact a new coach usually sweeps through. Look at what Rea has done at London. I'm worried. The players have not responded to the changes.

Yeah, but Anderson isn't a new coach. He's been at the club awhile and clearly doesn't feel a new broom is needed.

Which is kind of my point.

What a shocker! that's putting it politely. That 'performance' was from the bad old days. The players clearly can't be d. I have not seen a set of players with less guile, enthusiasm or heart for a long time. Lets be fair something is still seriously wrong. The season can't come soon enough for most of them. One special mention to David Fa'alongo - I wish you would go back to Australia, totally ineffective, doesn't run his weight, no impact, rarely busts a tackle - need I go on. Total waste of a quota spot for me. Today was an utter disgrace and the players need to have a long hard look in the mirror.

I don't mind losing if the players look like they are bothered but most today didn't. Someone needs to stop the rot and I am not sure Paul Anderson is the man to do it - oh hang don't worry Chris Thorman is coming back next season!.



WE ARE NOT AMUSED EITHER PAUL!

And here's me thinking when the devil incarnate Nathan Brown left everything would improve ..... It would seem there are some deeper issues at your club

I'm not sure if that was deliberate, but I'd just like to take this opportunity to say thanks. Your post was even more pointless than turning up to watch our team today.

A lot better squad without kirmond and raleigh...... Brown truly messed up.

I think Stains might have gambled and lost on this one.

I am afraid the big bald one got the game plan wrong today,we play a big team up the middle with the best tactical kicker in our team we should have been turning there big guys round all day and taking the juice out of them.sorry paul i know you dont drop the pill or give penaltys away but it is your job to prepare the team and from where i was we looked clueless at times,when we played them at there place we kicked the life out of them today well.

When we did kick deep though the chase wasn't great.

What has happened to that infectious enthusiasm the lads used to have? Where has that work ethic and enthusiasm gone? Over the year most of us have watched some right crap in terms of talent and that can be forgiven if there is effort & endeavour. There is, to me, a degree of complacency. I don't want to say they're not trying because I believe if we had a proper leader to focus them on the pitch it can be overcome, but sometimes they make my sh*t hang sideways when I watch them.

Thank God I have tomorrow off and a cellar full of ale, that's all I'm saying.

i said somewhere on here that P A was not the man for the job,we are a big club we should have top quality Coach in charge i hope i am proved wrong but i wont hold my breath,he was part of the problem that was N B and in my oppinion he should have gone aswell.

Alibert bad , but giants worse.
Way too error prone. How many dropped passes and knock ons?
I liked mason today - got to admire is passion. ( even when too zealous). Wish others had more of it tbh.

I hoped he was very much no2 and come in with his own ideas, his signings and releases will define him I for one wait with interest !!!!!

But boy did we have the wrong plan today it was a bit like a grouse flying towards a gun !!!! Suicidal !!!!!

Mate it does not matter who signs or gets rid of if you carnt coach you carnt coach.

Firstly I do believe PA should get a fair crack and I hope everyone gets behind him.

However personally I would have approached somebody like Brian Noble to steady the ship because I dont think its fair for PA to pick the pieces up for his 1st appointment.

Either we have a major problem internally and if we do it needs sorting fast. My only concern is has Mr Brough caused an issue purely speculation but he has everywhere else he has been ? Or should we have cleared the whole coaching tem out ?

Nobody was complaining we had too many back rowers when we were at the top of the league so what has gone so far wrong ????

It is not about the perceived props or lack thereof IMO. It is about the lacklustre, waiting to lose, no beans, no fire, half a4sed, non-believer stuff on that pitch.

They aren't all committed to the cause.

been saying it for ages its not the coaches previous or current its the lack of quality in the playing staff, sign a big squad of average players and you get a average team, that said i for one dont think baloo's the man for the job, his record now including last time is what 7 wins from 17, not great if you ask me.

Rugby League need to do something as a whole about the standard of refereeing. Alibert, not for the first time this season, was a disgrace. While he clearly wasn't to blame for our loss and indeed made shocking decisions to penalise both sides, he ruined the game as a spectacle (we could have managed this without his help). I don't pay my money to watch a referee be the centre of attention - despite what Ganson thinks (although at least he does it deliberately and is not just simply incompetent like Alibert).
Speaking of shocking, I though Robbo was appalling. His passing was nothing short of woeful. We looked far better with Lee on the field and I can't undertand why it took until it was too late to get him back on to replace Robbo.
Fully behind Anderson though - won't judge him until he's had the chance to bring some players in and had a full pre-season behind him.

If Alibert hadn't missed a clear penalty try (Crookes being obstructed when he would clearly have scored), then you'd have been even more embarrassed by a team who some said you woud put 50 points on.

Shame he managed to see our 'forward pass' tries yet managed to miss yours. Halibut certainly helped the Bulls cause yesterday.

Was embarassed by Mason today who proved himself to be a complete idiot and has now become a liabilty who was lucky to stay on the field today.

thought i was the only one

More like I was embarrassed by the team!
