Coming from you, that's got to be a bit of a concern. What's your reasoning?

Well you're entitled to your opinion. I think he is overrated by some on here and I think we will cope without him. I've been impressed with what I have seen of L'Estrange, but we do need to recruit some quality at halfback.

I think that is spot on, and will be the main factor on how our season goes next season. Centre is second in line aswell.

Weve not seen the best of Newton in a Bulls shirt IMO, good luck to him though he will give 100% every game but has a tendancy to make a lot of errors and a lot of forward passes.

wonder why you never shouted then

Don't think we saw the best of him today. We looked a much better side with Godwin on the pitch

For 1 game though. Hope Godwin can replicate his performance in that game.

That is true , but how I saw it today. We seemed to want it more plus the PTB was quicker

Can we send him to Wakey early?

Once Rinaldis fit, yes.

He was garbage today. But the inconsistent Newton is the one we have had for much of the last couple of years. He CAN control a game and win matches but just as often he can be extremely ordinary and actually cost us games. His 'rugby brain' probably went a long way to costing us the game I'm afraid. With ten minutes to go and 2 point lead in a low scoring game he throws out a wild pass to Cook that wasn't needed. Bulls knock on, Langley concedes a penalty and Wigan score game over. Why we didn't play out our sets and kick for the in goal and try force a drop out I don't know. RL is a simple game when you think about it.. why do our playmakers make it look so difficult?

Definitely in the latter category today. He was bloody awful when he came back on in the second half.

past it now i think good time he went
