I was waiting for you to pop up. You don't half talk cr@p.

Outstanding? He's s been at fault for two tries. One where he doesn't even try to contest the kick and the pathetic attempt on SKD.

Same Vs Salford, at fault for two of their scores. Luckily enough, Salford had two forwards given against them.

Can't defend for toffee

*At fault for 3 now

At fault for three now I'm afraid. A nightmare debut.

King is going to be a horror show and we’ll have a second row in there by the end of the game.

Too many penalties as usual, too many mistakes and some shocking defence

If you are going to have a pop at any of our team in the first half you are looking at the wrong edge.

Wardle anonymous also KPP offered nothing in the first half, clearly been given a rocket at half time to get into the game.

This is an embarrassing performance.

Poor, looking like an opening game loss

Absolute garbage. Iv'e been waiting 4 or 5 months to witness the 'back to usual' rubbish. I have never known a side be so ill disciplined and it's been going on ever since Madge left. Nobody has the ability (or balls) to rein them in. No Grand Final win this year.

Keep digging - a guy who's been responsible for three opposition scores is "outstanding" and a lad who's bagged one is anonymous.

This game as gone pathetic if thats 10 mins in the bin

That wasn't a yellow and there was nothing wrong with the Smith tackle. How long are we going to have to suffer these incompetent refs?

Smith tackle was for offside, not the tackle itself.

Agreed it wasn't a yellow for Smithies IMO, but raising the elbow for some reason probably went against him.

The work rate of KPP is never high.
King having a poor debut.
Don’t think we will turn this around.

Been far too loose in many areas. When you go in to an atmosphere like this, against a side determined to start fast for a new coach, you’ve got to be disciplined and keep errors low. We’ve been everything you can’t afford to be.

I’m not digging he was out only back making meters in the first half.

I enjoy the fact you were waiting for me to comment by the way. Seems like I’m living rent free in your head.

In regards the rest of the game. Very poor. Getting bullied all over the park and our only response is to give away niggling penalties.

Great defensive effort this far in the second half by King, trying to offload in his carry though has really hurt us.

Game over!!
Got a feeling going to be a long season

And that's four with the step inside.

Enough said really. It's Desi Williams level of bad.

Desi went alright on his debut IIRC.

Was the week after when he had a shocker.

So he defended numerous overlaps due to us having 12 on the field and they eventually score one and it’s his fault!

No mention of him closing down the overlaps or the try saver that got us back in the game.

Always feared for us today and it’s pretty much gone as expected. We’ll be fine but they have to learn the lesson.

There’s no credibility for anyone saying King will be any good for us.

Well that's something for King to aim for isn't it. That's his level,. undoubtedly.

Completely unacceptable today, but that's what happens when your recruitment is lead by Radders.

3 quota lads not in the squad.
Signing a centre notorious for not being able to defend.
Not replacing a marquee player in Bateman.

For anyone instead, look at the Leeds board and see how successful history says teams are that don't win their 1st game.

So we've lost in round 1 and the season is over?

That'll save me a few quid I suppose.

We might buck the trend, all I was saying is that in the history of SL - only one team has lost game one and won SL.

Do we just ignore that's a thing?

I’m not going to go overboard on a poor first performance because I didn’t expect much and these things happen but that point is a huge issue for me. Having one quota ‘squad’ player is not great, two is poor and three is scandalous really. Look at HKR today. Now I’m not saying I want their overseas players but they’ve got 7 and all 7 play in the game and the majority make a big impact in it. There can’t be many, if any other clubs who have 3 overseas players seemingly not in their first choice 17.
