Kershaw frustrates the hell out of me. His late try off the interception followed at least three earlier opportunities where he'd picked up a loose ball on the edge with daylight in front but chose to side step across the pitch. Senior was shocking again for the second game in a row.

As a team, we consistently make the wrong decision in any given moment. To me that's down to a like of coaching in game situations. We genuinely have no idea as how we are going to attack the line other than give it to Dave.

Head and shoulders above Gale IMO, I've watched Trinity 63 years and this is the worst attacking team I've ever seen wear the RWB, but individual players are not to blame. We don't seem to have any set moves, or game plan. We pass to players standing still, and often players receiving the ball run straight back to where it was passed from. Shocking stuff and I'm sick of seeing it. 10 out of 10 for effort 0 out of 10 for creativity. Effort alone is no good.

I think you’re being harsh there. Kershaw had a number of defenders closing him down on the edge and 1000% did the right thing coming inside all while making a good 20/30 metres and avoiding tacklers. Had he not stepped across he would have ended up in touch.
I have no idea why we haven’t seen Croft and Kershaw pair up a lot more this season. The partnership only got broke up because Lyne and Langi returned and to me that was an error. Against 2 strong back lines in saints and Catalans Croft and Kershaw have been very good.

Yes true. I recall he had a couple of good games right at the back end. However if the club decided not to hang on to him then that was fair enough. Then pay him to play for someone else was ludicrous especially when the same people keep preaching they have no money.

Too many bang average players who are too slow at distributing or have a complete inability to look for a pass, the movement was pedestrian has been all year. Second row has been no attack with the exception of the odd line ran well by Ashurst/pitts, a second row of Griffin and Tanginoa would have made a big difference but seemingly Applegarth doesn't pick a team on ability but by player power. Tanginoa yes injured most of the season.
Hood couldn't pass the parcel and stifles all the play immediately, which kills any attacking opportunity for the halves and instantly increases the pressure on them to do something, leading to a mistake, aside the Warrington game I can't think of another game Hood has been effective in, Kay at loose doesn't work, Atoni had a good game there so typically changed that the next game, just like the team after each win got swapped around.
At the end of the day get what you pay for inexperienced coach who has zero charisma, zero leadership and zero clue on how to change things. every press conference was copy and paste, every performance by the players on the pitch was copy and paste all that changed was the team after a win.
Its been a long time coming has relegation and hopefully it will allow a mass clear out of all the 'jobs for the lads' with a complete refresh and reset
