Bureta looked pretty good last night and looked strong in defence too, like the look of him and his style of running over players rather than around them. Think once he gets settled and gets a run of game he will be serious threat.

Loved the coverage at the end when Jamie Shaul said to Houghton about his try 'I took the ball cos you where off side'

Calm down, calm down

He certainly did, think they injected enough to fell an elephant because he lost all feeling in his arm and didn't regain it for quite some time!!

He looked like a Nrl player last night, 100 % effort with every carry and tackle , needs to rub off on to some of the rest of the team. Really lacking the intensity needed to beat the top teams , hopefully find it by Thursday !

it isn't 1980...

it is in widnes






coukdnt believe stewards checking bags were telling fans that hot drinks flasks are banned from the stadium! are they that desperate for cash they want us to buy tea n coffee!

I've seen some comments about our pack last night, but I thought they provided us with good go forward and put us in good positions, just last tackle plays and silly offloads let us down.

Biggest issues for me was our discipline and our ability to stop the offload, which kept them in the game.

You'll be a full grown socialist by the time you leave there.

imo taylor paea Houghton and green where good, washy and Bowden ok, downs imo just isn't big enough although gives 100%, masi was strong when he came on, but we defo missing our back 3,

Agree I've not seen anything to suggest Downs is good enough to play at SL level.

Back three would make a massive difference, Mini go forward and the defence of Hadley and Manu.

I don't think we are far off, in a decent position, despite not playing well this season, next three games could define our season.

Bulk up?
Thought his work rate was good and had a fairly decent game.
He's far from e.

Unfortunately for Hull KR fans!

I will start to do this for every match, but it shows that the work is spread evenly amongst the forwards. Really think Bowden needs to improve in attack, running on to the ball and he will make more metres, especially as one run probably accounts for around 15 of those metres when he carried some defenders with him. If he isn't going to make yardage, then he needs to find his front quickly, or get an offload away

Other than taylor, none of our forwards are stepping up to the mark consistently. We need 3 or 4 forwards doing 100+m every game. watts has made nearly 300 in his 2 cas games and we have no one anywhere near that in our corresponding fixtures.

I also agree with another poster about aggressive defence. We're too easy to make soft metres against meaning we end up defending our own line too much which results in added pressure

Most of them still dress like it's 1980 too

I enjoyed Masi's impression of a Darren Aronofsky film.

No doubt they will be on absolute fire next week, but Leeds aren't looking all that impressive tonight.

FFS what are people on - last nights performance was atrocious apart from ten minutes in each half and we only won the game because Houghton came back on - before that we was sinking fast

Taylor was the only forward who came out with any real credit, Bowden poor, Green Ok, Paea poor. Cant remember any of the back rowers doing anything - did we have any lol? Most of the backs were decent but as a whole we was championship level for large periods of that game but mostly when Houghton wasnt on.

Green made more metres and tackles than Taylor

You cant say that on here Seb

don't you be coming on here with your facts spoiling sebs fun! It's the only fun he gets.

You don't remember Washbrook scoring?

Yeah because 14 games over 4 years with most of them even into last year was not getting much actual game time at all is going to give us a true indication of how suitable he is or how he might progress. Written off at 22, it seems to be the way these days
Maybe, just maybe it's the coach that is the problem?

Is that the coach you tried to help lose his job then proceeded, to give us, as supporters, our best and most exciting couple of seasons for donkeys years?

No, it's a different one
