Not sure he’s the worst, think he’s got the likes of Jeremy Smith, Tommy Lee & Harry Siejka covered, but he’s certainly overrated. If someone wanted to offer money for him i’d snatch their hand off.

Tbf I did say one of the worst, not the worst., although I’d wager all those has more idea how to run a game.

Exactly ! there is no one that can read the game and respond to what is happening. For example, It was obvious after the first 15 minutes that we could only be a inch off side and we would get pinged when we had them near their line. It was obvious what the ref was looking to do and a good captain would have been screaming at his players to keep back. However I dont think we managed to hold them to six tackles once throughout the game when we had them in their twenty.
Totally different subject, Fifita looked like he had been on the raz all week he was less than useless today.

| Probably lost in the first 10 minutes. We went 12 down due to mistakes and never recovered.
We were our own worst enemy and it was summed up in the last quarter when Hood made that great tackle and they dropped the ball. That should have been a platform to build on. Instead there was a wild pass thrown to the left, which we got lucky with and won another scrum, then from that scrum it was thrown right to Hall who got dragged into touch. Just really dumb play at that stage. Headless chicken stuff when composure was required.
Catalans really took the mickey at the play of the ball. How many times did they take forever to peel off and how many times did they have a man just sat there while we were trying to play the ball? As soon as we did it the ref called six again.

Don't like to single players out but Kershaw just stood and watched instead of helping Hall

The whole team did. They just stood there with hands on hips showing zero urgency whatsoever. You'd have thought we were 20 points up, not chasing the game.

I don't understand your point about Poaching. Apart from the fact he seems to have kicked your cat, what would you have him do?
The only consistent players are Hall and Murphy. Everyone else is a forced change.
And that backline nearly beat Sts and thrashed Cas.
Can't see your problem.

| Our right edge was gash and we were lucky only three were scored by Yaha. The half backs were crap. The referee was beyond abysmal. All in all,100% what to expect this season from a dis functional group of players.
Let down again as expected.

| With ball in hand we are absolutely abysmal. We should have beat that side by 30 despite their tactics and the corrupt/ useless delete as applicable Grant. Why does Miller not put it on the floor and build pressure instead of catching practice bombs with no chase. Lino is just off the cuff nobody including him knows what's going on. The pack was blamed but is now ripping it up but these halves cannot capitalise. Should have been safe today but the drama continues.

Barely noticed Fifita at all today.
Have to agree regarding halves. The three, Miller,Lino, Fifita all rumoured to be going, good, they're stealing a wage.

Correct so why split up the partnership. Jeez I know your incapable of seeing fault with the club but even in your world disrupting the one bright spot of the season is beyond me.
My point about Poching is simple and obvious. We are a poor team and due to the fact that we are not lacking in efforts suggests the problem lays with the coach. Or has the whole dynamic of how sport works suddenly changed?
It’s a cliché I know but there is a point where the buck stops with the coach.

Agree 100% the game plan today was shocking and never adapted to the situation. Some shocking mistakes and a poor ref what an absolute shambles today has been

| That was a dumb run by Hall into touch so lets not blame anyone else. I look forward to see a replay of that last move of the game too, to confirm that going for glory was Hall's best option rather than giving Kershaw the ball.

Its thank you and goodbye if true. However my fear is two fold. Firstly still highly likely we will go down and then its more than those that we lose, it will be the whole team.
Secondly the smart money appears to be on Luke Gale comming . 33 years old, injury prone and no longer doing it at Hull. Could be even worse.

Yeah, not sure, granted we were looking from the Northstand but Catalans looked to have plenty of cover out there ready to bundle Kershaw into touch. Was anyone in that corner who could confirm or deny this ??

Gale would be a vast improvement on Lino. Even if he missed half a season at least we wouldn’t have to watch the headless chicken. Then maybe Walker would get a go and in all honesty Walker is not great.

Gale’s already 34. We should be looking elsewhere, he’s done.

I know Lino isnt liked by many, but to me Miller is an even bigger problem. The bloke is thick, should never be the captain and cant read a game. I was bored watching his high kicks to Tom Davies it was obvious a failed tactic but he did not adapt

Kershaw would probably have had too far to run to get past cover defenders. What was needed was a little kick on the inside where we had players in support who would probably have dotted down - seemed to attempt this but made his mind up a little too late. Ref was as inconsistent as I've seen and seemed to ref both sides differently regarding ruck and set restarts etc. Overall, effort plenty effort but poor execution and game smarts like most games. That Catalan side were not any good really. I reckon they'd have been beat by most teams.

Probably because the poor bloke was knackered, he did more work than all the front row combined.
I just can’t get over how inept and totally under prepared we were to day. We were slack from minute one to eighty.
The effort was never lacking but you need more than that to stay in SL. I honestly think this is the worst team in terms of actually playing RL I’ve ever seen at the club. Not a single leader amongst them.
I love effort and I can’t knock them for that. But I can go to Eastmoor for that for free. I pay my £25 to see a bit more than dumb rugby regardless of how hard they tried.

There was one out there today, that was linked with us a couple of years back and rang rings round ours. Sadly he wasn't rated at the time

Can’t agree. In that he may be a bit dim at times but come on PB he’s MENSA compared to Lino. I’m not convinced that this is the real Lino, it’s his twin as I’m sure this one would never get a game in the NRL
