Macca needs a rest, he's been shattered for the last two weeks nevermind in that heat, problem is we don't have another hooker unless Powell gives o'neil a go!
He'd rather play shenton at 9 than use one of the under 19's

Agreed he could be very good in the coming years. Hopefully for us

Summed up nicely. Ellis should have bever been signed, crap the first time round, crap inbetween and still crap now.

Those imbeciles went out there for a holiday and not a game of rugby. One or two gave it a go but the rest want dropping in the channel half way home. Utterly pathetic.

Angry? You bet. This lot have fallen in love with themselves. Well today and the Hull KR debicle shows that they aren’t quite as good as they’d like to think. All good when things are flying Daryll but now is when you earn your brass. Sort out the arrogant attitude asap.

You CANNOT blame Ellis solely for the garbage served up this evening (AND ROBERTS WAS NOT IN THE 17) Bad day at the office today. (sorry appalling day at the office today)
Stuff Leeds next week and we will be world beaters again!

I can forgive the Hull KR performance, in fact maybe even credit them with getting something (4 players out of the game injured and 2 playing on one leg with what has turned out to be fairly serious injuries).

Today was s different kettle of fish. Awful to the man. Our pack were pathetic, two of our returnees been the worst offenders in the pack. Simply soft nd clueless across the board.

As for Ellis, I'd sooner give Aston a shot then persist if mo-one else is available, at least he might play like he's got a point to prove.

the ale in France must have been stronger than they are used to the team must have suffering a massive hang over to put in a performance like that, we can pick on individual players that played bad but for me 16 of them were well of the pace only Mitch looking like a player that wanted tp be there

Powell said hisen he rated the two wins against wire and wigan among the best hes seen i wonder if hes said were not going out there to bust a gut in that heat
Something didnt look right i rate our forwards the best in the league but they were owned by the frenchmen from start to finish

Agreed. All the Cas forwards (with the possible exception of Clark) looked as though they had accepted defeat and didn’t want to be there from the first minute of the game. The silly penalties, stray passes, dropped balls was not just the forwards but ran through the team.
All were guilty of pinching their wages and short changing us fans.

Not for me. Millo has been our best forward by a mile. Most of Foster’s appearance have been as a centre??

Not seen a peep.

As much as I love our club, I've said before that this aspect of our operating model is extremely poor.

If you want season tickets bought, fans turning up and loyalty then you have to back that up with different behaviours.

There are mentions of apologies on other threads. I never expect that but I do expect to hear something. It's part of a bit of leadership from the senior guys at the club.

It's a bit like politics - say nothing and hope that,eventually, everyone (especially those how spent hundreds of pounds to get to the bottom end of France) will forget it ever happened.

We probably have the best set of ball handling forwards in SL.

Where we come unstuck is against sides with genuine size and power. We get bullied and lose the rucks.

With the exception of Watts (even that is debatable) we play without genuine props. We've got back rowers everywhere.

Are you sure that's not more to do with less media over in Catalan, there's often less interviews from Catalan away.
