Please don't accuse me of being complacent because the second half at HKR was sheer embarrasment.

However there were mitigating circumstances.First 30mins we were competing,had a lead,and were defending ok.White got injured,McGilvray didn't appear in the second half,presume he was injured.This meant Wilshire and Swain on the wings and Paul was moved to fullback.

I know this doesn't excuse the totally inept 2half performance of dropped balls,missed tackles,ridiculous passes etc,but while we had our starting 13 on we didn't look too bad.

Yesterday,

All my troubles seemed so far away,

Now it looks as though they're here to stay,

Oh, I believe in yesterday.



Suddenly,

were not half the team we used to be,

There's a shadow hanging over me,

Oh, yesterday came suddenly.



Yesterday,

Rugby league was such an easy game to play,

Now I need a place to hide away,

Oh, I believe in yesterday.



Fits in quite well really

And soon we're off to Headingly



just about rhymes

I'm sure you are looking forward to the experience





As soon as I saw the title , the song just popped into my head



It seems apt at the moment for you



I didn't mean it in a derogatory way by the way



All the best , chin up and all that



See some of you on the early flight to Carcassonne in a few weeks

Very fair assesment of the first half in my opinion, in fact many of our errors in that early period came from just forcing the pass in trying to break the line. However, given the fact that we've been so one-dimensional this season I refused to be too critical of errors made in trying to offer something different.



Hard to argue with the point re defence too. While we soaked up a fair bit of pressure in the latter stages of the half we still switched off all too easily & in particular the defense for Murrell's try was shoddy in the extreme & sadly a taster of what we would see with alarming regularity in the 2nd period.
