Another awful display of cluelessness.

Forget the scoreline, the performance was terrible again. The attack is so boring, scrappy and predictable. The only player who looks to be able to do something other than pass the ball along the line from left to right is French. God help us if he gets an injury!

I feel sorry for those that turn up every week and pay to watch that. Watching Lams reaction at the end, you would of thought we had just served up a RL masterclass not 80 minutes of boring dire passing from side to side with a flurry of tries at the end when Toronto ran out of steam and lost their composure with a player off the field.

3 games in im already bored of the season.

I think there are positive signs we have a brand new spine which is crucial.

A new 9, 13, 7, 6,1 and some expect is to hit the ground running.

My only issue in 2020 so far is Joe Burgess sooner we can offload him the better.

Dont need feel sorry for me thanks.
Why don't you come along and Boo then, your more than welcome.

PS
Is it your your turn on the computer tonight?
Please let the others in the facility have a go.

Why not just post in the existing Toronto thread?

You don't even go to the games yet you're always the loudest voice

Positive signs in the second half. Something to build off

Theres another 30/40/50% on this team
Powell back in, Gilbert back in, manfredi back in, Burgess back in.

I get the Budgie thing and there was couple of things tonight especially the dropped ball/loose carry near his own line, but I think the try will do him the world of good.

Good to see our best 2 props tonight in the field 20 to 60mins and actually get some go forward.
Thought Smith did well.
Hastings created space and opportunities
Faz looked energetic and dangerous.
Hardaker strong
And God help me if anyone mentions French to 6 and hardaker FB!!!!!

+1 hopefully we've put the French to 6 argument to bed at least

The half backs and backs can score tries from anywhere as was proved again tonight.
Lam's forward selection was again sub zero. Bullock made a real improvement when he came on.
Lam needs to sort his pack out to get the best out of his backs.
He says Burgess and Flower will be back next week so his selection next week will be interesting..

But he has 6 on his shirt!!!!

Clearly a stand off!

Do us all a favour and switch your telly off and disable your WiFi. That way you won’t have to watch the boring rugby and you won’t bore the pants off the rest of us on here.

That was a solid win tonight. Built a platform in the first half and ramped it up in the last half hour. Still too many penalties but that was clear progress.
Hastings was sublime in parts of the 2nd half and we look better with Harry Smith in the side.
Job done, onwards and upwards.

Ha ha ha ha love it.

Re. the forwards I really hope Greenwood can find his first season form from somewhere because I think we're still lightweight in the 2nd row with Farrell and Isa.

What a crock of you come out with once again.

Don't feel sorry for me in actual fact i feel sorry for you.

A win is a win this time of year, we will be in and around when the pots are being handed out. Sadly you wont be watching as you will be bored. Hope we are boring winners every week as it feels miles better than losing and playing really well.

And lastly if you are bored then don’t watch it, we neither need you nor will we miss you. Plus if you don't watch it you wont be able to chat pony about it.

It looked like Zac went to fullback for the last 20 mins in the second half so French must have gone to centre.

Is this what its come to then. Go after the man and not the ball? Anybody that is close to happy with the first 3 performances so far is either smoking something far too strong or simply deluded.

I am now convinced that some of the posters on this forum are connected to the club in some way.

Other than French, there has not been a single element of our game to celebrate.

Were all connected to the club, we go and support them every week.

It’s about balance mate. I’ve certainly got nothing against you, I don’t even know you. However, I have never seen anything but negativity in any of your posts and it gets tiresome.
It’s February and we have 4 points from 6. We have shown glimpses of great rugby despite disruption to our spine. We have been ver solid in defence too. Is it perfect? Not by a long way but there is reason to be optimistic. You either don’t understand rugby league, you’re a wind up merchant or you just refuse to see it he positives.

+1 I'm bloody sick of him as well bloody armchair supporters

Harry Smith another positive game, needs looking after in defence but he will improve in that department. Do worry about have a left footed kicker on the right though.

French has to stay full back. Hardaker was poor in attack at fullback last year (in block plays) and french looks like he’s going to score every time he gets the ball.

Burgess just terrible again, Marshall is showing him every week. Manfredi on the right, Marshall on the left as soon as he’s fit.

Bullock went really well.

Manfredi was speaking in the fan zone before the game. If he comes through this weeks reserve game he’ll be up for selection next week.

If that’s a swipe at me for the other post a few dts Ill just clarify.

I never said he WAS a 6, it was in response to rogues asking why people ‘think’ he’s a 6

Wane out

To clear up my ‘French to HB’ calls;

I, like many others, believe he is the best FB in the league right now but I also think we as a team look far more dangerous when he is pairing up with Jax in the halves. I also think Zak would be outstanding playing off French coming from FB like ST used to do or even Zak himself at Cas. Perhaps I’m wrong, and if I am it’s not below me to admit as such.

There were some positives to tonight as others have said. Smith in the halves looked very promising. Both Bullock and Clark easily justified their selections and French has that little bit of magic and spark. Hastings also looked better and was looking to try things. Some nice tries scored when they tired.

However anyone who was happy with that first half and in particular the first 20 is on crack. I lost count of how many time’s on the third tackle we played the inside ball to a forward who was going nowhere. The next play was so easy to defend as they knew it was going to be an attempt to move it wide. It was awful.

The other negative was the defence. They just stood off and watched half the time. Again. No press at all. I think the low point was when they had an attack on their left and one of our players puts in a tackle to stop the move but the rest just stood and watched which slowed their player to wrestle free and get rid of the ball.

If we play like that v Hull the game will be gone in the first 20 minutes.

I also can’t comment without mentioning the ref. Thought he was very poor. They were offside for their first try and the second was a forward pass.

It's those formulaic sets we need to get rid of. You can visualise exactly how it's going to go and it's a shock when we do anything different. Two to three one out carries from the middle men, an inside ball to a 2nd row and then a meaningless shift play wide.
