Quote: Oxford Exile "I did fear the worst when Cooper wasn't named. I do think we lack a lot of 'punch' up front and that will be a problem against the likes of Saints and Cats. BUT, can't fault them tonight. Mulhern and Bullock looked fine. Our discipline was excellent...Castlefords was terrible... which is no surprise given who their coach is now. Charnley was excellent took his tries very well...now joint 3rd top try scorer in the super league era...nuff said. Some very good signs out there tonight...but there is still a question mark for me on the front row.'"
Can't argue with that, the pack is answering the questions asked so far without being dominant but it's still too early to say they're good enough, or not good enough for that matter. I like all 4 of our props individually just feel we lack overall size.
A massive positive from tonight is that we didn't miss Darryl Clark at all, walker was terrific. I had doubts about him, I was wrong. I wasn't wrong about Steve Price though, I think Jason Clarks performance proves that.
