| It felt like the kind of performance that group of players put in to signify they've had enough of a coach and would like a change...surely we're not at that stage in the cycle already

| Not d if Lane misses the rest of the season. I wouldn't even subject Newcastle to his abject performances.
Taylor, Houghton, Griffin, Shaul. What's the point. Loads of cap tied up in players past it.
Evans and Lovodua are a waste of a quota spot.
Had big reservations about the Dwyer signing. Reason Leeds went with O'connor instead.
Not d if everyone ooc gets released.
Thought the 2 Aussie boys had a dig, but I'm clutching at straws....
We need what Powell did at Wire last season. Chop and change this season
with heavyinvestment for 24. Not sure if Pearson has the appetite to tear up contracts though.

We have the worst wing combination in the league. Swift is a trier but nothing more and Macintosh is just awful.

The problem with tearing up contracts is they still count on the cap, so we'd end up losing a player and not replacing them. Getting rid of one or two as a statement to the rest could work though, and even just 1 or 2 leaving can alter the dressing room culture.

| Lane, Evans and Mcintosh should be no where near the side.
Would rather play Litten, Laidlaw and Staverly.
Evans and Lovodua are such waste of imports.

Didn't think they did now with the cap being live?

| As poor as we were today, I have to say Salford play some really good rugby.
Reckon we will have probably 2 players banned for next week.

| Have to say although Hodgson has gone now he has left us with a legacy of poor signings.
I will even add Sutcliffe to the list because he is just average and we need strike centres with pace.
Once Manu Mau was released it was obvious our second row would be a weak link trying to make do with Lane and Griffin whilst Savelio gets fully fit.
We know there should be a major clearout at the end of the season and this should make some of the decisions a lot easier
That said we still have a major recuitment problem for 2024 when we need two big mobile second rows and front rows.at least one strike centre and wing with real pace and thats without knowing whether our two new Australian players will stay.

Salford play a good style and have signed players that complement each other such as Croft does the running which makes up for Sneyd not doing much running (though he looked like Usain Bolt past our snail paced defence) theyve also moved Watkins to 2nd row as he's getting older whereas if he played for us we'd have kept him at centre based on being good there in a cup final 5 years ago...

| You all thought Sneyd was the problem and you got your way but leaving Hull was the best thing that ever happened to him. In Salford colours he has earned England recognition and today scored 24 points and had 3 assists. You replaced him with Luke Gale enough said.
Tony Smith said after the Catalans rout that this week he would be working on defence, defence and defence. Good idea Tony but in 3 years at Rovers the defence was no better the day you left than the day you started. Tony had two 11th place finishes at Rovers and I reckon he might get another this year but it could be a tight thing for 11th and 12th between you and Wakefield.
Wakefield at least are battling whereas you lot looked disinterested today. For sure it was the worst performance of any team so far this season. Has Tony demanded a job for his daughter yet?

Sneyd was in a rut and it was best for him and Hull to move on.
And you Robins have short memories, Tony was the toast of East Hull when you were 80mins from Old Trafford and the CC Final. Also one of your 11th place finishes came when Toronto folded and Tony was quite open with the fact he as experimenting with the tactics with no fear of relegation.
Some of the players we had out there today have underperformed under Radford, Last and Hodgson which suggests its not the coach thats the issue.

| Well this game is gone now, we can't do anything about it. We were a shamble today and that's that.
You can't tell too much about a team with those performances, you can learn more by seeing how they react to those performances. Are they prepared to get up off the floor when they've been hit by a big knockout punch?
I still think Tony got his team selection wrong today. I expected to definitely see Shaul given a go with the amount of first teamers missing from the back division.
I thought Brown last week performed to give him a place in the starting 13. I thought Cator would come back in to the 17, I didn't think Andre had played enough over the past year and half to be in the starting line-up.
He needs to make a choice quickly who his starting hooker is. Is it Houghton? Is it Dwyer? Is it Joey? Pick one and keep him there.
There's no better motivation for a player than challenging yourself against the World Champions. So if we don't get a response, then it could be curtains for us.
Time to stand up and be counted for this team. They owe us a performance.

| You can't always see the little details in live action, but watching the highlights, some of those defensive efforts are beyond atrocious.
There's definitely a good few players there that need taking out the team.
I'd have had them back in for tackle training tonight.

To be fair to Tony’s time with you. He took you to within 80 minutes of a grand final and Catalans were there for the taking that night but your players bottled it. Your greatest return since the conception of Super League.
We haven't done too much better so I don't think either club has the right to be bragging or belittling the other. They're both not giving their loyal support the rewards they deserve.
We can at least call upon a couple of successes in recent times to give our fans a little joy and memories to take with us.

Josh Reynolds had a classic flapping arm technique, seems a lot of the players are still influenced by it.
Professional rugby players tackling like under 11s
It’s the usual suspects. It now appears that even the new boys are doing it.

So many of our signings over the years look great in their first couple of games, Reynolds MOTM in his first game, lovodua looked great in his first game, Hoy etc etc but somehow they all get dragged down to a similar performance level of the rest of the team after a few games
