How are we all?
With a nights sleep has anyone changed their views on what happened?
TBH I am still equally disappointed and angry. It’s never good to post just after a game (like that) but it’s therapeutic I guess.
My thoughts today. As a team collectively we did not turn up. There was the odd exceptions Luke, LMS come to mind. My concerns are we did not have a plan B. We don’t seem to be able to play more than one way and teams seemed to have sussed us now. We seemed surprised by Catalans season long tactics. It was like we had never seen them play before. We have been shown up in the middle we are not big enough. We over rely on Luke who is slowly running out of gas. I worry if we do not address replacing at least one prop for an out and out bull. I’m not going to pick on individuals as I do think the team wins together and lose together. However I felt Barba was very poor. Superstars shine in games like this. He did the opposite. I know for him to play well we need a good base, but I just think he hid. I’m not shouting for getting rid but I’m not sure what’s going on with him in the last few games. I think JH was shown to be lacking a bit in not being able to regroup the team. All that said. If we had clicked as we have done this season we would have pushed them, if not even won. I am trying to put it down to a bad day at the office. But part of me thinks things (some players and our tactics) need to change.
