People will take comfort in their tactics and the refs performance as the reason for our failure to win today, but the reality is we were nowhere near good enough and were lucky for a point.

They matched us man-man and won their individual battles, I find it confusing why they decided to go for a draw when the 3 points were on the table.

Even before kick off you knew we would find it difficult to score without Whitehall, it’s a tough call with young fish as he needs game time to develop but maybe in hindsight today wasn’t the one. Their number 6 had him worked out in the first ten minutes.

My biggest concern is centre midfield and has been for some time. Dixon for Warrington did a number on us and so did the Radcliffe players today. Clunan has absolute stinker and I just don’t see what he brings to the side- I know some rate him but especially against side coming to slow the game down he does us no favours and is not strong enough for that position.

Massively disappointing result today which could come back to haunt us later in the season
