Funny how throughout the game the commentators have been saying we controlled most of it and should of won it now the hooters gone they say harlequins have got a derservable win. To me it shouldn't of been a try

Twice Gardner had the ball and it was stolen, and the ref' has said it was a knock on, give it a break.

A fair bit better in 2nd half.
Quins were just more clinical near the line, and they got the bit of luck just at the right time.
Ratchford had a very good all round game.
The lack of skill and power from our centres and wingers is there for all to see and needs sorting.
..............having said that, Mark Henry had his best game so far.

Id stick with Ratchford at six for the Batley game. Agree that we lack penetration out wide (no smutty pun intended) After the first few games of the season we were hoping to be competative in games and as the season has progressed you can see we have improved but we had enough ball today and last week to have won those games with a bit more composure. I feel a lot more positive about us than i did six or seven games ago...now if we could only sort out the pesky new stadium issue!!!!!
He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.
We started playing the best RL of the season with 15 to go but we have to find a centre to replace Araldite Littler. How many tries are coming down his channel? Another one today when he missed a vital tackle - he has to go - throw another young un in Sean - Nowt to lose.
Thought we conceded a couple of soft tries tbh, excluding the one that never should have been. We lacked a little go-forward confidence in the first half and we need to be more clinical sometimes. We didn't play too bad. Ratchford was excellent, and tbh we gifted them the game really. The same as last week.
No complaints with the players. They all gave their all. With a little more luck it could have been the other way around.
The first try shouldnt have been given. Henry didnt go for the ball and he waved back to 1. Wards knock on was an absolute joke. Reminds me of the 1 Peacock did a few years ago. Its a shame that a great staduim and an enjoyable day is messed up by stupid decisions against us AGAIN.
There was a lot of positive signs there tho. I think Cashmere is getting better each week and were alot better defensively.

Been to the game just got back to the hotel to get changed. Same as last week a lot of pressure but just cant turn it into points. The last 5 mins of the first half had a couple of decent chances and with the bounce of the ball could of gone in 4 points up. 2nd half for the first 15 mins just could not turn the pressure into points. A big plus was Ratchfords performance he really needs a good run of games in his preferred position.
A big minus though was i managed to speak to a certain club official . I asked him about how contract negotiations were going with the little genius apparently he agreed a new contract before the France england game last year but after the game his agent wanted to double the agreed wage! I dont think the club are that impressed with Richies choice of agent and reading between the lines a new contract is no way nearer but it was stressed that he is under contract for the rest of this season and next.

Agents have destroyed the careers of many players in the past - badly advising them on which club(s) to go to. Yes, the players are adults but these vermin can do the spin and turn a players' head. They are a most distasteful element in sport but unfortunately, the players need them.
