I was pleased with the effort throughout the game. It was noticeable how we were on the back foot once Burgess, Wilson and Woolford were replaced. I thought Wire were dominant in the tackle after half time, lots of pushing back and far too slow in my opinion. I thought Richardson did well, Hewitt was excellent out of position. We really need Sutcliffe and Milne as our first choice centres. Clearly avoiding further injuries is essential for us. a

Thought Gagai looked very solid, and Woolford too. I think Leroy may be our key player again this year.

I agree that i liked the look of both Gagai and Woolford, but even with Clune back in the team we are short of spine players. Golding is not a hooker, and when he is spelled in we instantly lose momentum. Hoping Milne is decent at centre but i don't like the look of any of the other centre options to partner him. Still can;t believe we spent such a crazy amount on Burgess when we are so weak in the spine of the team. Oh well, the new signings looked good anyway, shame we can't keep a side fit in the off season!!
