Shambolic decision not to play Moa last week. Very very poor by the coach and against everything he said he would do at the start of the season.

Where's the love?



Let's not fight people...

Good result, can't fault anyones commitment tonight.

Great games from Moa, Whiting, Lauaki and Manu.

Special mention to O'Meley, this guy is just awesome. To put a stint in like that with busted ribs deserves a great amount of credit.

Even Washbrook looked bright, when he played down the middle.

all i wanted tonight was a good effort, and we got it, so well done to the team.

just our luck that Quins decide to start playing just before we face them though! we'll have to cut out the errors next week

Are they bruised or broken? Whatever, played a great (and pretty long) 1st stint and then got us a penalty almost as soon as he came on in his 2nd one. Great effort.

Anyone back for next week?

broke one, but said he had plenty of others left

O Meley was outstanding tonight...our only marquee signing still standing...he reminds me of my mother in law...a top bloke

Nothing that a bit of Dencorub won't sort out, then.

Don't acually know! Everybody has just said busted so i thought i'd go along with that to!


Driving home from the game listening to radio, Clarky mentioned that he'd spoken to Mark during the week and had asked him why he was playing considering his injuries O'Meley replied with "I want to play, the team needs me, there's too many kids out there and the pressure could get too much so i have to be out there with them"

Great bloke is Mr O'Meley.

I always find when my ribs are shattered a bit of firey jack does the trick

Pretty sure that Fitzgibbon was only left out as he'd had 2 injury's in quick succession.

unsure on the others.

also didn't Turner go straight down the tunnel tonight?

He did, not sure how or what happened though.

Again,

The 2 points is the main but it was a solid performance with a depleted side. Was never going to be a classic with the players both clubs had missing.

Much better defence, apart from the last minute dont think Wakey broke our line.

Kept making stupid mistkes and poor penalties, but the effort was outstanding.

I thought we played some good rugby at times, looked good when we passed the ball and broke their line a few times and with a bit more composure would have won a lo easier, the last 10 minutes annoyed me when we should have been playing simple rugby we where trying to offload and play attacking rugby.

Last thing why the hell was Moa at acting half at the end, not blaming Moa, but someone else Horne, Mcshane etc should have taken control.

2 points, not perfect but improved and great effort allround.

The use of the bench was very odd.

That has been a characteristic of Agar's decision making throughout.

i thought he was getting better tbh.

Goal line defence was decent but wakey hardly posed any threat TBH. General defensive work wasn't that great I didn't think. They made easy yards all game. Defensive line speed is too slow and we lack aggression

Anyone think last nights game went pretty much the same way as the derby, Wakefield with alot of pressure and ball in good field positions and Hull with outstanding defence again, well it did me.

Thought Moa looked very good, just shows what you guys could have had playing week in, week out and Whitting was again excellent.

It was similar to the derby in that there wer 2 poor teams who seemed to lack basic skills on show

Think on that performance with our ball retention we will get stuffed next week, some great effort but so many basic mistakes a team with any attacking ideas will score lots against us because of all the ball they will have.

Hoping for a couple of injuries back but we look a team way down on confidence after getting shown up twice against Leeds, saying that a win is a win and it will help.

I was worried about that,but Hall SEEMS competent.

Not a bad assessment, that. We coughed up far too much ball and a better attacking side would have bummed us in the second half. Can't fault the effort, but [ius[/i execution and discipline were very poor at times.
