Just cant believe how far we have gone backwards this season, we are so far off the pace its unbelievable. That play at the end to gift Catalans territory jist about summed up our season, wanting to take everything without wanting to work for it.
Our defensive structure is the biggest concern for me conceding way too many points but the way we lose the wrestle and just let opposition players run at us is a big concern. Its getting to the point nearly every set we allow the opposition an attacking kick. This is the worse defensive structure since Agar IMO.
In attack we seem to never finish off clean breaks or pull out dumb off loads. They is no urgency at all and if it wasn't for Sneyd we would be far worse off this season.
Penalties are creeping well in and at crucial times, aside from a handful of players alot of this team are way below standard. We wont be near any finals or the top 4, its going to be a long season for me and I worry when they do get it together it will be far too late.
We need another prop to help Taylor out and a wide runner who can make breaks.
Good post. Green hardly plays, Bowden looking championship quality, watts, fonua and ellis gone and not adequately replaced. Taylor our best forward by miles and if he gets injured were fubar'd.
The forwards are the real issue. Were soft defensively all over the field and our basic skills are awful. Well finish 6th at best

The problem is when we beat Leeds we were probably playing in our top gear were as Leeds would have it down as a poor performance. They nearly beat us by playing for 15 minutes.

I don't think we've got anywhere near top gear this year
