Lacked energy and spark from the off last night and only had a glimpse of it early in the second half before the ridiculous decision to go for a short drop out. Line speed was everything. We were static for most of the game and Wigan (with the usual aid of the dip in the middle) were blistering. Sezer looked fantastic, even behind our beaten pack (which has to be one of the weakest in the league) and the two wingers continue to impress.
Despite the contrast in quality and the missing players I expected a lot hungrier performance last night. It was almost like last week's result created to much pressure for them to handle. Flat and ultimately disappointing. I really hoped these sort of performances were behind us.
As others have eluded to, we probably need at least two or three new players if we are to have a better season this year (of Sezer's quality too). Just don't know where they're coming from. The quality and depth just isn't there and despite the rhetoric, pure hard work doesn't always cut it.
It's early in the season and I'd have been happy with one from two when the fixtures were announced, so despite my current mood, it's time to suck it up and move on.
The last two seasons are opening home match have been against the worst two possible sides KR and Wigan, feel for the club, 1 win from opening two games a bonus for me, Wigan a class above we gave it a go but too many bodies missing, next four matches are more of a barometer but like Jake said we need players back.
