I’m not too surprised or despondent about that one. Conditions were terrible and we are too many troops down in the back 5 when they needed to be skilful.

Thought our pack was ok again, although Tet had very little impact tighter in again and Mik needs game time.

I’ve been impressed with McDonnell.

We missed McDonald tonight he has been our main strike in the backs.

Re FB although I want us to replace Myler he was missed tonight, we needed to skill at the back and short passing into the line on attack. Conditions too poor to really judge Hooley but yes, NRL fullback incoming for me please.

That’s how I feel

Don’t get me wrong we weren’t at the races but we didn’t lose because of sloppy defence, we lost because we made two clangers.

Id like to see Olpherts dropped because he was dreadful tonight

Agreed, he’s definitely been underwhelming as a signing, but has horrendous luck with injury. The sole of his foot was pretty much perpendicular to the ground when he went over on the ankle, that’s got to be ligaments and at least a few weeks out. We need to replace him at the end of the year, he just doesn’t play enough.

The defence wasn’t sloppy but we did miss quite a few tackles. We lost because we invited the leagues best kicker to kick us to bits, and dropped it every time he did.

Olpherts does need dropping, out of a plane…

Just on Hooley. I know he had a mare, and he clearly didn't play well enough, but as well as the poor conditions I think he's only played one game (maybe 2?) since coming back from injury and was in the team at short notice. So I think its best to hang fire there. Olpherts I though had got past his clangers last week, but clearly not. Regardless of ability you can't carry players who make too many errors.

That was the worst possible game for Hooley to make his debut

Yep, horrid conditions for a fullback. What struck me wasn’t the errors, they were always going to come, it was the poor attitude he displayed. That’s a much harder fix.

Apologies- but I really don’t think you could see how strong the wind was, ive no problem with that drop out, it was inches away from being a decent kick, there was no chance of a long drop out in that weather

Poor attitude, or a complete loss of confidence? Needs some time at a lower level to regain it now. Teams will be all over him….. but can come back swinging.
Terrible day at the office, but line drawn…….. let’s see what we can do vs Hudds…..
