Understandably the players were probably unsure as to the fans reaction to today , which as Drew was near the tunnel when the game finished he decided to leave straight away , no criticism of that

It wasn't the players thanking the fans for coming , it was the fans thanking the players for their facing up to the situation as they did

I thought Hutchison could have come over and joined his team mates to show a little appreciation to the fans, if I am honest.

He may not be enjoying it right now but neither are we the fans , And we are spending money to witness it.

It felt like Keiron and Micky were clapping every single one of us individually at the end.

Tough times, real tough.

Makes me wonder how the players of the Stan Owen and Mick Martyn era ever managed season after season part time playing 40 plus games with no subs!!

As we were spread out more than usual today we didn't really give the team much vocal support , obviously not a lot to ' kick start ' us , and perhaps Drew wasn't too sure on our reaction post final whistle

As I said , no criticism , in what was a very difficult situation today

Apparently Drew did receive some criticism from a small minority during the game , that may have influenced his decision to exit the pitch

While I'm not his biggest fan , he certainly has given all he could in these recent games including today

Indeed , the issue today wasn't the props playing 80 minutes or players playing out of position ( they are all capable of both easily ) it is when injury occurs if those players then say they are OK to continue when they aren't and could do further damage to already tired bodies , especially possible head injuries and players on loan from other clubs

Anyone who criticised any of those lads today need toeing in the plums & know jack poop about rugby im afraid
