Sadly lacking in both. Lost for ideas. Must play Wood as another half, better with him on, though weak in defence. Arm tackling was dreadful by some, Cas were on the front foot all day. Best team won but they had kids on the bench!

so cas were full of ideas were they 4 trys each, so both sides defence and attack was very similar , goal kicking was the differance not peceived weak defence or attack, simplistic view i know and totally opposite to everyone else on here but that is the facts of the game.

No chance! Cas thoroughly deserved that win! Outplayed up the middle again.

keep grix away from the stand off position amount of times he comes into the line and gets tackled with the ball and the attack breaks down hes not brett hodgson!

aaaaaand we used to have two players either side of faiumu ready for his offloads to go flying through the line..... now hes having to throw the ball 10 yards back

but one of them was always Brett Hodgson and he's not here any more...

Scott Grix has worked tirelessly this season following Faiumu up for offloads, always running through the gap that is created.

When he is playing at stand off he doesn't have the same opportunity to strike as he does from FB.

agree there - hes often the only one backing up.

I thought your forwards were shocking yesterday, never dominated or stood up, Crabtree had the odd big run and took a few defenders with him but apart from that was fairly targeted, Griffin and Mason were non existant. However i though Faiumu (sp) was deadly when he came from the bench (why didn't he start at loose).

Your best player and only good player on the day was Robinson, he has come on leaps and bounds over the years, was deadly yesterday and at times ran us ragged, especially when he made the break for the Grix try.

The first half for us was pretty much perfect, defencive wise anyway, if we had of made it 18-0 (with the forward pass) it could of been uncomfortable for you.

the reason faiumu didnt start was because it was his first game back from injury.

Its Bloody painful as it is WRE!!
