indicipline and a distinct lack of speed both in the head and legs

If Smith doesn't drop Lane mcintosh then I'm starting to wonder if he's lost he plot

Made a huge mistake bringing Houghton back in

2 big try savers so far from Tex. Granted they still scored next play on 1 of them, but after having Connor there it's nice to see a full back with the pace to track back/across and save the trys.

Jinxed him.
Fuck sake this is shocking

Utter shambles. Can I leave at HT?

Looked like scoring on every set.

Totally embarrassing, something needs to change, but what, you could drop just about every player

Will Smith see the season out?

Needs to make big changes, which isn't easy

I have never seen a set of players, so dumb, so spineless and so bad at defending.

It amazed me that people actually think a proven coach could turn these around. All of the pack are big lazy puddings, wouldnt keep one of them. The outside backs cant defend.

Spineless every one of them. Things wont change til this lot are out the club, week after week they insult the badge.

That's as bad a half as I've seen I a long time.

Absolutely shocking performance so far, lazy slow no intensity and no tackling or defence on show. 5 missed tackles and 5 try’s what a poop show no pride or effort.

Comfortably the worst defensive team in the league.
2nd half won't get any better. Our lads look shattered already. Salford have barely had to defend so they'll still feel full of energy.

Can't argue with the boos.

Pearson must be furious.

Agree. Shockingly bad, game over on 18 minutes.

At least we won't have to worry about expensive weekends away in places like London & Manchester.
Weren't 16/17 wonderful?

Must sort out right side defence, all their trys but one has come down there.

Absolutely disgusting defence, beaten around the ruck area for the second week running... when we have the ball in their 20, we think we have the right to spread it on play 1/2 rather than doing the hard yard first

Absolutely abject.
Defence has gotten even worse, to the point where its entirely absent.
What a waste of my Saturday afternoon.

I dont get how he could be surprised, most this squad hasnt being in play off contention since 2017. He sacked Radford but kept the clowns who played every week.

Awful. Gotta to changes. You could drop so many but unfortunately he can't. Lane Macintosh Scott Houghton infact a lot more. Litten Cator Vuni just a few who should start. But to be honest we need a really good clear out till then where just gonna be fudging it

Same player Same results. Those misses from Lovodua and in particular Lane was a disgrace.

Don't think I'd be fussed if all those OOC weren't renewed

The squad just not good enough. Forwards lack punch, backs lack pace. Chuck in a lazy defence and surprised it's not a greater margin tbh.

Could be 50/60 this, we have no leaders and the heads look gone already.

Bingo

It's the lazy defence that's the issue, so many players make poor decisions or weak efforts like Lane.

He has to be dropped, really really poor start to the season, lives off a couple of good runs a season. Not big or strong enough.
