i like lineham and hes done well for you guys this year, but today he went walkabout for there first try and went into touch twice when he should have cut in, strange atmosphere today, good luck in the top 4

I thought Toby King was our stand out. He caused lots of problems for them especially under the high ball and defended well against some big units.

These threads pass me by, like picking the sides for the weekend, and predictions of scores MoMs and attendances, however , I'll give this one a go, on today's game

Halves 4 each. They were really not the standard required, if we want to lift the cup. It's time for both of them to go.

The rest, all 5s, with a few 6 and a rare 7.

To win a cup, the worse you can get away with is one 6 and a couple of 7s.

From Ratchford's 2nd minute fumble, to Patton NOT finding touch with a penalty (criminal), to too many players "going through the motions", we were well short.

Time to dust themselves down and get ready for Hull
Thompson will be available, along with Akuala (yeah, I know). It didn't look like we picked up too many knocks. Westwood came back on.

Time for Patton to stake a claim, again.

Onwards, Wire

Brown stunk the place out today. Both him and Roberts can go now for me. The pack was poor too. Completely out enthused and out muscled.

Clark is doing well in these ratings. What did he do? Two years ago he was unlucky not to get the LT (only a brilliant performanve by Houghton denied him), today I barely saw him.

Agree Clark wasn't great, but Clark is great when we get a quick PTB. And today we didn't. So he was running at set lines.

Their front 3 (Moa,Mcllorum,Casty) set the stall out in the first 10/15 mins of each half and dominated our front 3. Their defence in that first 10 mins set the platform for the game- they were belligerent and were insistent on not being second best.
That game was there for the winning if our defence matched up to their ferocity in the opening encounters, but we didn't match up.

It's lesson learned. Hopefully that taste of defeat will serve us well in the gf playoffs.

On a side note- congratulations to Catalans and Steve McNamara. Really chuffed for the the fans in the south of France, the players, and Steve McNamara who proved his critics wrong once again. I'm gutted for the Wire, but, every cloud has a bit of a silver lining- (Catalan fans/first trophy outside of England).
