Perhaps Raynor would better if he had a centre inside him who could tackle

Maybe tonight he'll be paired with Platty, in which case I'd expect him to have more confidence in his centre partner and stay out on the wing

Is this not the problem we had last season with Reardon and coming in off the wing?

Should have gone for ainscough tonight, raynor never saw daylight, ainy is rough aggressive and a fighter he would have helped our cause tonight, get him in for France

He'll play on Monday I'm sure

Agree, needed him tonight.

Strange call by Potter. I don't know what to say.

Believe me now?

TBH, looking back at the game, I can understand why Potter didn't pick Ainy. He's been going well for us but Sinfield would have just bombed him all night long. Ainy does have a bit of a problem under the high ball, and getting battered all night long with the increased chance of errors could shatter his confidence. So, I think Potter made the right choice and protected the player

Yes so do I, but i just wanted to prove my point to that t1t.

Raynor had a good game anyhow.

I forgot he was playing for most of the game.

Ainscough has looked solid under the high ball to me this year, I've seen both Walker and Raynor mess up more high balls. Raynor and Ainscough are obviously completely different wingers but we could have done with Ainscough out there when the forwards started to tire, he makes some good meters and gets us back on the front foot, something Raynor didn't do.

Ainscough better be playing against Catalan. He has pace and also can catch. Oh did I mention he's probably the best/joint best winger we have?
