What? Sutty was doing ok. The Golding cameo at FB was horrendous

We starting the game well, it was when we made the change with Golding coming on it started to go wrong. He offers nothing and I'm reaching the view some have had that he needs to go as he's not of SL standard.

Which imo is where Mags/Burrow went to pieces the team were setting up for moves & those 2 just started making it up on the back of some awful handling/offloads.

I really don't understand why mcdermott has continued to name players on the bench and not use them in Keinhorst we have a very versatile player who can do a job in the backs and forwards today we could have brought him on and moved Moon to the halves and kept Sutcliffe at full back where he has been playing better rugby lately.

With Zak gone he should play at fullback as he looks more comfortable with more time on the ball and is decent enough defensively that its not an issue, he can move into the halves when certain aspects of is game improve such as kicking and game management

I have no idea why he was moved away from fullback, I assumed we would move briscoe to 9 and goulding to the wing, but we decided to throw the game away instead



As for the criticism, I think he must be shagging Gotcha's misses

I wouldn't have minded trying Moon in the halves/Keinhorst at centre, or trying Keinhorst at hooker today but just doesn't look like McDermott will try those changes.

Today epitomised our season really, beaten by a team that was prepared to move the ball and was better coached. We weren't the best defensively, but not for the first time, a defensively weak opposition weren't asked enough questions by our amateurish attacking style. It really is woeful and summed up McDermott's plight of being totally out of his depth against better coaches. There is absolutely no point spending valuable training time on the paddock if we are just going to turn the ball inside for 5 tackles before we make such child like, unbelievably poor plays on the last. McDermott is gone at the end of the season, he knows it, we know it. What is making the end of the season so toe curling for me is the stubborn, helpless style of play that will be employed till the end of the season when we can all breathe a huge sigh of relief as we overcome the Giants of Batley etc. A few words on Sutcliffe who seems to be a much debated player after this game, I thought he was ten times better than Golding at full back. Safe under the high ball, and not afraid to take the ball up from his own line. As for Golding, he can surely only get better with experience, but his frailty under any sort of high ball has become more than a slight problem. At this moment in time we can get away with giving him game time, but become the middle 8's, he can't be anywhere near the full back position. As for his kick offs, whose bright idea is that Mac ? My missus would have caught every one, with her eyes closed, after three bottles of red wine, with her laces tied together, having being spun around 50 times. Leave the kick offs to Sutcliffe for god's sake.

After that I agree about McDermott, the whole swapping about bit and leaving on ablett and not playing keinhorst at all was madness. Our last tackle options were dreadful. We often go through sets with 5 one man unsupported drives. Then on tackle 6 - do we set up a kick? no. we try to play basketball like a group of men who have never met and taken speed.



If hetheringtom thinks we have little squad room and all is good for next year, he needs to give his head a shake.



The last 20 minutes were shamboiic.

They are out of excuses now. Have had 2 weeks to prepare for that game and come up with that. An under 12's team could have set up for a drop goal better than that.

Errrr hello, how many times do I have to say on these couple of threads that McGuire and Burrow were poop? But that doesn't excuse the equally poop Sutcliffe from the criticism. People seem to be blind due to age of a player. He was equally as poor as the two previous mentioned. I said the pivots lost us the game, that is your halfs, hooker, fullback, Sutcliffe playing in two of those roles in the game. He is not good enough for either stand off of fullback, and the other two want clearing out also.



I agree with you on Cuthbertson, who has no brain. I agree with you on the JJB liabilities. Achurch was Achurch for me, nothing of any quality, but certainly not as poop as the others mentioned. But going anyway, so irrelevant.

Do we practice last tackle plays? Where is the organisation on tackle 5. If we honestly think there is any future with McGuire and Burrow at 6 and 7 then we are totally f*?£%d. Bring on the middle 8s and pray that we are not involved in the 4 v 5 playoff (I cannot see how it is titled the MPG).

For Fs sake at times Burrow is our on;y hope and why J.J.B is getting so much stick is beyond me
