I know it’s only highlights but Houghton just didn’t look interested and the 2nd try no attempt made to stop Field at all. Depleted or not there was some poor effort from the same section of players that should be leading by example it just not looking interested. Griffin for me looks shot in terms of confidence since his injury and wonder if Cators reoccurrence and Carlos suffering same injury has affected him too. Gale for me not showing much in terms of leadership when things aren’t going well. Depleted we maybe but no excuse for some of the effort or lack of.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
Season was over when Connor got injured for me as no plan B.
Gale brought in for accountability but don't think he's saying anything to Taylor, Shaul, Griffin and Houghton is he really?
Need bodies back ASAP and a overhaul of the clubs conditioning and medical side as this shouldn't be happening season after season.
Got news for you .... shaul didn't play tonight
But the full back who did play had a absolute mare
If shaul did that dave and others would of crucified him
But Walker is great apparently
You’re right Shaul didn’t play tonight but as you brought it up unfortunately he’s another that sadly needs moving on. Walker wasn’t the reason we lost and had Shaul played it would have made no difference whatsoever. If Shaul was still good enough then it’s unlikely Walker would have been brought in.

It's not just Shauls playing ability that's the issue.

Bit of a perfect storm tonight, our best player injured a minute in and instantly our much depleted side is under massive pressure, Severs, Hookem, Laidlaw, all taking part in a level that’s not really fair, due to more lower leg injuries, and dubious decisions from our friends at the tribunal..
Add to this competing against two magnificent Australian speedsters, which in all honesty culminated in our defeat, take these two guys out and this home game for Wigan is a totally different prospect.
Having said this in the defence of our team, there is no possible excuse to get mullered by sixty twice within a few weeks, I’ve listened to Alan Hunt and his long game philosophy with Hodgson, it’s plausible this way of thinking, and ultimately Hodgson will be looking to move players on and replace them with improved personnel, but I’m afraid Hodgson just doesn’t cut the mustard for me, our players can be beaten, we can lose, no problem, but we are lying down and giving up, the team can’t be motivated to fight for everything by Hodgson, how the hell are this side in a play off spot.
Stunned by the attitude of some fans on social media, i've given the team a slating many a time over the years but we had 12 players missing away at a top4 side, even Wayne Bennett couldent magic up a win
The sooner some fans get out their heads that we are a massive club being hard done to the better, we are 6th, it was 6th last year and on average most years before that. Unless a massive change to culture or squad happens itll be 6 again next year and I dont mean the hooter has gone off!
