That was p. Iss poor. We looked lethargic most of the match. Looked like a pre season friendly. Not totally out of the play offs but almost. Would get knocked out first match so properly irrelevant. Very disappointed with that performance. Litten needs to up his game big time but to be fair most of them do
once a black and white always a black and white COYH
Sad thing is - Smithy said before halt time - the team that comes out and manages the 2nd half wins. Recently - we have done that.... Tonight... yeah could not manage a mickey up in a brewery.
Hudds came out 2nd half and clearly wanted to win. Not sure we did. How bad is that?
Can't see what the fuss is about with Litten. If he is the future we are in trouble . Same with Cator offers nothing to the team. Like many threads that have been posted the pack has got to be the weakest we have ever had in Super League.

Other than a blow out score I thought tonight’s performance had echos of the performances that have been dished up from July on wards for the past few seasons, which is a concern.
I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!
Let's not bag Litten too much. He's been very good in recent weeks, tonight not so much. That happens with young players. There are plenty of senior players to get stuck into.
We don't seem to ever really use Litten on the shift plays - most teams use their full back to create the overlap but we don't - makes us a bit predictable with drop offs and coming back on the angle

And it's still worth remembering Litten isn't actually our 1st choice full back. Possibly not even 2nd choice considering Shaul has been preferred to him a couple of times this season snd maybe would have been again if he wasn't injured.

Fair comment as he’s only young and still very green at this level. Don’t think he got much help/support from his team mates tonight in terms of the poor overall performance.
