It's been an amazing effort but we just shoot ourselves in the foot with our indiscipline. Lane has been better this week too but he needs to cut out the 6 again he keeps giving.
I know winning is everything for many but we gave that a real go and last season with 12 out they would have put 60 on us disastrous start but so much heart and effort. a few interceptions but we need them to force the play in such games, lets face it we want to see some enterprise but boy we tackled to the end I'm pleased with the effort and spirit for me its getting better. still battling at the end. Little doubt we gave it everything we had.

I may be in the minority here but I feel like that’s a chance gone begging tonight. At 14-12 I thought we had a really good chance, but our old friends discipline and errors came to haunt us.
Positives being Ese’ese’s first stint was immense. I saw enough tonight to make me think we have a good chance against Leigh next week.
Everyone wanted a change in effort and mentality this season, we're getting that. We've got a lack of quality but hopefully we can add that over the coming seasons

Got to say that was a terrific effort and some really great performances and again following more adversity. An awful slow start which we seem to suffer from so far, but really proud the way they stuck at it and got back in to the game and made it a real contest. Better teams than us will go the Catalan and get beaten more than we did. Certainly leaves me feeling a little more optimistic about the season. It’s hard to single players out tonight as though by and large they dug in and stepped up but McIntosh and Lane deserve credit as both have been criticised and rightly so previously but tonight can’t fault them at all. One negative which I won’t dwell on but there were 2 players who still look poor at present but I’m perhaps being a little over critical. They can be proud of that performance and hopefully use it to build on. As fans thats all we ask for to turn up and give a real go and leave nothing in the tank.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
