Quote: The Real Moaner "Let's not get overexcited. We beat a team who were rudderless and had zero bench depth.
That said, Walsh and Wheeler were outstanding. Two massive plus points. If they can stay fit, they could be the best halfback pairing in the league.
As someone who doesn't rate Swift, he impressed me tonight. However, we cannot persist with Swift and Percival on the same side otherwise we will get torn to pieces.
Manu, as usual, was poor.
Also not convinced by Amor and Walmsley starting. They are our best two props by far. I think one should be used from the bench, as if we come up against a side with a strong bench, we need that impact they can give.'"
You can only play what's in front of you
I actually think starting with Amor and Walmsley went better than expected, having masoe to bring on will help against bigger benches, with laffranchi adding the "steady Eddie" element.
Swift took his chance well, and generally chased back well and ran it in hard - I still have a question mark Percival vs jones - Percival certainly offered more of a threat in attack, but jones is much stronger in defence.
Agreed Manu had a sloppy game and I was slightly disappointed from him, hopefully he's just a slow starter.
