Hutchisons speed of thought is miles ahead of his most of his team mates. A Deserving MOM of today. His play for Actons try was just sublime.

We need to find him a proper HB partner that's what we need to do,

I concur, however I believe sadly Baptiste may have picked up an injury that will keep him on the sidelines for a prolonged spell.

Pity that, I thought he showed up particularly well today on his debut.

Its the other shoulder to his already dodgy one too.

I hope it’s not bad but I know you don’t do rumours HRJ. If it is longer term (but he will be back before the end of the season) I believe we still need to move Mortimer into the halves and go with Hood and Cunningham if ready and if not then try Reynolds at 9.
Mortimer and Hutchison are a pair that can create mayhem in the Championship and unlock the SL teams in the 8s.
If Baptiste is season ending we need to move now for a quality 9.

MOM by a country mile yesterday, must say he did not convince me against TWP but hopefully v Batley is more of what is to come. He probably gave more telling passes and took the ball to the line more yesterday than we saw with Drinkwater for 2 years.
Reynolds still prooved for me why he should be nowhere near the No 6 shirt, the lad gives 100% but is truley lacking in the abilities a good stand off should posses, was Mortimer dropped? not heard anything that he was injured, if so and he was dropped it must be in direct reflection to his performance v TWP, was he actually worse than Reynolds in that game, not in my opinion and quite a lot of people I either spoke to or have read comments from.

Personally I thought Reynolds went ok. Mom for me either Mason or Larroyer.

No disrespect to Reynolds but going OK is about the best he will give us, bombed 3 clear cut opportunities with badly misdirected passes something we can ill afford in tight games, and he just seems to be void of ideas, BUT he could very well be playing to instruction keeping it safe, may very well be whilst he is still the favoured 6, expansive play will never do in this regime!

Wow

Do you know what impresses me with your post VL ? you can see Reynolds shortcomings from Vancouver Canada and, we have a Coaching team, in East Stand, who cant see it!

If whoever I say picking the team thinks that Mortimer (and hall for that matter) isn't good enough to make our best 17 then something is seriously wrong.

May be more a case of needing to give Reynolds a run to try and improve, because we might need him at the end of the season. Trouble is he doesn't have the speed of thought and we don't have the coaches to develop a half back.

Who says our coaching team won't try something new - they are sat in the West Stand this season

Safety among numbers!

That’s a good point Leythig but as you say I think he is simply not what the club needs at 6. Also a game where we had over 5000 spectators wasn’t the game to do that. The club had the perfect stage to show the fans what we are all about this season and build a larger championship fan base for the season. Anyone who was on the fence about spending their hard earned money at the LSV this season probably fell off on the wrong side. Don’t get me wrong, it was an indisciplined and error ridden whole team that lost the game, but a talented strong leader at 6 who can boss the team around could have changed that.
