See Houghtons needless offside when we pinned cass on their line, Pearson was furious in the stands, down to 12 and sustained pressure and one of your senior players gives away a ridiculous offside like that.
Funny as before the game, it showed the Leeds highlights and he did the exact same against them, that led to a try. See the Cam Scott error, why isn't Houghton there playing the ball and getting the team set?
As the commentators said it was setup for him and sneyd to take control when Mcshane went off, yet they didn't.
Sorry but too many senior players have got in a comfort zone and are too sloppy. Sat on big contracts and not really performing. Happens across all sports.
I'd heard whispers about Taylor being nowhere near fit, showed last night he was out of puff after his second carry, again Where's the professionalism?
Sneyd was awol again, been way too inconsistent this season.
Probably the most unpopular opinion on here, but the truth hurts as they say, time for a new leadership group, but and it's a big but, but too many sat on nice cosy contracts and the academy products aren't good enough........
I'd be shaking it up next year, offering players to other clubs hoping we can shift some on, the captains group would definitely be getting disbanded and new players who put effort in week in week out and show some fight appointed.
