Don't understand why we were trying to go around them, as soon as we went up the middle they were opened.

That's how we got the first two wins, up the middle.
 
Intersting lee was interviewed pre game about the tactics we should employ, He specifically said kick to the corners, no mention of isolating the back three with bombs to their 20m line. Im thinking he would know what the hame plan would be.

Our 1 repeat set came from Brailey from dummy half. Another horrible kicking performance from Pearce, caught tackled on the 5th 4 times was it?

Our offloads are wasted, every offload goes 1 pass out and that player just hits it up. Never spread the ball.

Our support play is non existant.

What a performance from the squad on a 300 game milestone, a debut, in front of 20,000 at home, against a team not expected to make the 8.

Yeah it’s Pearce’s fault our outside backs made fundamental error after fundamental error. What a load of ****.

He wasn't as **** as hoy as shibs, but that doesn't mean he wasn't ****.

I think the question of will we ever see Pearce in 2018/19 form again has been answered.

You can’t do anything with little field position and horrible handling. 2018/2019 Pearce would’ve struggled today. Our back 5 cost us that game and nobody else.
 
Offloads that never get sent wide is beyond stupid!

Embarrassing performance and I expect more this won't be the last one.

Injuries are no excuse the tigers are trash.

I don't think anyone is back from injury next week so same team minus Jacob...

Ponga is 2 weeks but can't expect him to win us games on his own.

We will play decent teams soon...

Last 3 games show us as a 9th or lower team not top 8 that's for sure

So will the scapegoating him for others errors.

The difference between Pearce and Shibs/Young is clear though. No one is excusing their performance, we just know they won't see another game. Young isn't too bad, but he's not ready yet. Pearce on the other hand isn't going to get dropped and still does jack ****.

Pearce was very quite no doubt but if our outside backs perform to First Grade standard we win that game pretty comfortably.
 
100% we win that game without Shibs. I'm not too bothered by our performances at the moment because we still have Ponga and Green to return. It's still disappointing that we should be 3/3 with this team though.
 
What I want to know is how do we go from 4 errors last week to 11 in the first half?

Something is seriously wrong with this team and it's been like this for years....world beaters one week then absolute utter rubbish the next.
 
If we are going around players and trying to play like gooses. It’s on PEARCE to pull them into line. We drop balls because tigers have their backs up.
