Does Keighran have an injury? Or has he been dropped for a poor performance to give him a kick up the booty? Id say the latter would be a tough harsh given plenty had shockers on Saturday.

Far from the only one, Farrimond's head has gone - cost us two tries (he jumped the line for Warringtons second try). Havard does the same thing every time - catches the ball does a little shimmy and trundles forward and drops like stone on contact - where is the post contact metres he used to make.O'Neil & Mago look unfit and Walters offers nothing. Our much vaunted pack looks lightweight all of a sudden. Too many one put drives leading to rushed plays and mistakes.

The issue we’ve got is O’Neill has nothing to support him so it’s just the same lack of danger at 9. Havard is probably knackered from covering weeks of low minutes from Mago, Dupree and Byrne. Farrimond can make mistakes, he shouldn’t be playing now really but we are where we are at the minute. I’m really concerned about Walters. He looks a proper dud and more and more like Wayne McDonald with every passing week.

And it gets worse, poor defense and absolutely no attacking shape. Even with the forced changes there ar too many individual bad mistakes and players dropping off one on one tackles tackles- don't think anyone is going to come out of this game with any credit.
O'Neil looks like a bad one sadly - his season looks done.
Some of the tactics tonight from Peet have been shocking. Byrne I think will have played 26 mins, Hill even less. We are attacking towards Walters in the left centre, where Wardle has been put on the right. It’s clear we’ve got serious problems at 9 and a perfect storm happening with the players we have out. I think Thompson is the only one to come out of this game with any credit for us, a proper machine again.
How we get out of this rut will be interesting. The first few to sit out next week should be Miski, Byrne, Farrimond and Walters. That last try sums up the pathetic attitude of the team and coaching staff tonight. Unprofessional decisions throughout.
I'm interested to see how Peet reacts to this. I would definitely be giving Douglas a run out instead of Miski who has had 2 abysmal games the last 2 weeks and I am still to see Walters have a good 10 mins for Wigan never mind a good game. Massively underwhelming. All that being said I expect us to get it right come the business end of the season and it will take a good performance to knock us out of a playoff game
