Didn`t deserve anything from that game yet Olpherts catches the ball and it`s probably down to golden point. They played with enthusiasm we played as if we only had to turn up to win. No direction other than Smith trying his best to make things happen due to our halves doing nothing. They weren`t that good just more will to win than us. Whilst we are blaming Olpherts they also bombed at least 2 trys. Tindall for me is better than Olpherts. As stated by others Martin was shocking tonight and if picked on form Walters or Gannon replace him but can`t see it.
That was absolute shi** . That was a clueless performance , with no discipline , no intensity, no leaders on the field and we made a poor team look good . The number of basic errors - we cant even play the ball legally - that says it all . Our pack could not get on top of the oldest and slowest pack in the league . Our experienced half backs were anonymous , as for our 2 wingers ?????? . On attack we look clueless , and when in the opposition 20 , one out plays and no kick on the last tackle - are these our tactics ? On Leeming - whilst O`Conner can pass a ball , he offers absolutely nothing in attack , and todays hooker cannot be as one dimensional as he is . I have always thought that we would get the best from Sezer , but after one performance in five games , I feel we are flogging a dead horse .
Absolute garbage. No direction, no line speed giving Cas easy metres. We have such poor tackling technique. Would love to see what is actually coached mid week. Unrecognisable from the Saints game. Martin goes missing again in a game... doesn;t offer much apart from goal kicking for me. Never really rated him. Poor skill level on show by most of the team, like ptb. As said, the halves just go missing. My expectations for the season were somewhat raised after the Saints game which was a great effort. Add into the mix the Leeming situation... Nearly as depressing as watching Eng v France last Saturday! As for the Olpherts effort... an 80 year old granny could have caught that and score... catch it and fall over the line....

Terrible performance. 1 out rubbish with no direction from halfback. Cas wanted it more and fully deserved the win. Austin and Sezer were poor again. We had a set late in the game in the Cas half when we were chasing the game and Sezer didn't get involved once, until putting a poor kick up on the last. He goes MIA far too often. There is a distinct lack of leadership in the team.
Woody: Can I pour you a draft, Mr. Peterson?
Norm: A little early, isn't it Woody?
Woody: For a beer?
Norm: No, for stupid questions.
They slowed the play the ball down so much it was ridiculous. Ref was weak but we were so one paced with nobody running hard and poor passing down a static line it made it easy to get dominated.
They played with more enthusiasm and as someone said we were rudderless. Wonder if the Leeming thing has unsettled the camp this week, we will need to play with a lot more intensity next week or Catalan will batter us.
