Back at Frack Central.

Can I have a refund of 7% of my season ticket money please Mike Smith. Plus petrol money for the 100 mile round trip to and from Pickering.

As long as I live, I hope I never get to see another home game as bad as that. If I do, maybe I'll start looking at Rugby Union in another light, so bad was it. Unforgiveable.

Agree with most of that. Constantly driving the ball up close to the ruck play after play only works if we actually break the line. If we had two or three monster props who could do it all day then OK to tire out the centre get a roll on but that is not happening. As you say the first & only time the ball went wide Shaw walked in. Experience is what is needed out on the park, it is no use having a group meeting at every stoppage as happened Sunday. One other thing why do we persist with a left footed kicker on the left side of the field (Abdul) & a right footer on the right? if it is because they can't play on the other flank then they are not good enough for pro rugby.

The opinion of Abdul i find is truly staggering ( it's an opinion everyone's entitled to it )

He has been one of our most consistent performers for a number of weeks now, and brings more to the game the Ellis by a country mile. He is improving week by week and his game management is coming on ten fold - See the Leigh game as an example. He is proving to be a quality player and i feel ellis is going backward a little bit.

I don't think our tactics are helping our halves either, we seem determined to tire teams out and play through the middle. The impact of not having quinlan as a 3rd pivot is also clear to our play as we struggle to incorporate BC as a fullback in an attacking sense. Matty Marsh i imagine will be playing FB soon once he is fit.

I think if Abdul was on loan from Wigan he wouldn't have half the negative comments he has I've lost count of the times Ellis has been outplayed by the opposition scrum half

its no so much having a go at Abdul who has played reasonably well since he has been with us but adull+ellis= no zip we need more than this for promotion,

He's young and needs support from experienced players but ZDC should replace Ellis for a game or two to remind Ellis he has to work for his place. Both halves, especially Ellis, where up for the Leigh game but at best were not motivated for Sunday's game.

Rochdale did a grand job winding up the whole team (esp Greenwood) in the first half. Once that calmed down and we actually played rugby, there was only ever going to be one winner.

Teams like Rochdale are strong and wiley enough to try this 1st half approach as this is the only hope they have to win. Wind us up, keep it close and try to steal it at the end.
