Seems to me we went in with the wrong attitude. Drop the ball on our first set and we're 10 nil down before we touch the ball agin. Poor mental preparation yet again
Its just so disappointing. Whilst I think there are improvements we still struggle to break teams down in the opposition 20 ball in hand.Indicipline and errors have again cost us the game. How many more times will we give the ball away from the kick off after scoring a try? Chase,Pace,indicipline and errors cost us the match. We have to get some pace into this team,and find a position for Rankin if Shaul is fit and preferred at full back. Westerman has to start and up his game otherwise I can see Jordan Abdul taking his place and Yeaman really is on borrowed time.He did nothing in this match. I think Radford also got his bench wrong with too much thought on the Leeds match.He should have included Feka because neither Green or Bowden have any effect going forward and Cunningham should have been left for the Leeds game. No doubt Feka and I think Bowden will also come back for the Leeds match at the expense of Green and if Shaul is fit Rankin will be on the bench. Sa seems to be injured again so its a good thing Micheals is still available for selection.If he wasn't injured I would replace Yeaman with Michaels. Fingers crossed Ellis may be available.

Some good points in there. Centre is an issue for us, certainly. Yeaman's had a very good career doesn't look like a Super League centre right now. I'd put Shaul at FB and stick Rankin in the centres. Sa and Whiting injured, not sure what's going on with Michaels. Still, only Moon and Watkins in 5 days.
If available we should play Michaels, not only does it give us some much needed pace but it'll show the player that the club/coach are backing him until such a time as it's obvious he has to leave..

We got annihilated around the ruck in the first 20 mins and that cost us the game. Some of our defenders in that area were still on the bus. Defence cost us this game - you'll rarely win a SL game by conceding 32 points. Some shocking one on one efforts throughout the game. Hats off to Jordan Thompson and Leon Pryce who were superb for us.
