Shows how weak the squad depth is.
Really can't see any benefits of progressing to the next round.
Just hope there were no injuries.'"
What an odd view. We travelled the length of the country, beat a highly motivated team whilst blooding two debutants and giving more air time to another to, without Sammut, I'd say very very good outcomes.

| I agree.. Pitches will speed up as we get into summer, and what is important is keeping winning... I will happly take a 22-20 win next week over Swinton.
32 points is goal for top 4, probably 36-38 for top 2. Every 2 points that takes us closer is what matters.

Each to their own and all that.
My view is that we are never going to win the cup so another game is more of a hindrance.
But I agree on your point re the debutants.

| Do think the discussion is quite interesting, some folk on here suggesting that the result today shows we don’t have much flex or depth in the squad, but on another thread when the question was asked re grabbing available players, apparently we don’t need em because we have enough cover.
Wonder what folks thoughts are now.
For me we need a couple more bodies in the squad.
But on today, sounds like they went to sleep! Am I right were they 8-22 at One point?
Happy we won, and the result is probably the wake up call needed and reminder that going up to Swinton on grass in grotty weather the win is not a given

| From what I saw of Swinton when they played Toronto. They were rather poor. As was the pitch, I might add.

On the squad, I hope and think I have been consistent. If a quality back up half back was available, and probably a decent hooker, I would say sign? Otherwise I think we are OK? And I think we are talking back up, sammut and api are first choice and we shouldn't disrupt a winning team?
On the final score - think England Ireland yesterday ( I know it's rah - rah and some won't read or take the analogy) but were Ireland bothered that England came back from 5-24 to 15-24? No, they had the game won, why bust a gut to stop May scoring, job done! So if the fragmented commentary I managed to listen to on the way to the God-foresaken West Midlands had any truth, we went 10-0 up in 15mins, eased off a mistake, then went 8-22 and decided game won, was close but hey ho. We won!

| Only issue with the score line is why? As a team the boys need to be ruthless, putting the cue on the rack can back fire.
As for disrupting a winning team, did the loan player disrupt. You cannot afford to wait until the injuries hit then try to get a player in, a squad needs depth and the ability to give players a rest! Let’s see if there is any different thoughts after 2 real challenges over easter.
Did England rah rah play this weekend?

| Api was not at his best today, he obviously doesn’t like the cold. Two penalties that failed to find touch as examples.

| Not finding touch??
Good god I hope we are not going back to that!
Tbh folk used to have a dig at Sammut saying he was not a team player and some of his plays were confusing. Api has some flashes of brilliance but at other times can be decidedly average

Oh how we larfed......
...the #1 issue with our sport is that we refuse to accept that we MUST learn from the other lot if we are to prosper. England losing to Ireland at Twickenham on St Patrick's day is a PR mans dream....played in a 2 week break from their Premiership, the final weekend of the 6 nations saw wales and France fight out a nail-biting draw, Italy almost turn over Scotland and Ireland grasp there 3rd Grand Slam ever....watched by 216,000 people in 3 capital cities and many millions on TV........but let's brush it off as a "distraction".....if you weren't aware that England were playing union at the weekend you're either an idiot or an idiot.......
66k is their average attendance for the 6 nations and their TV deal is worth £50,000,000 a year for 15 games in the UK alone...........let's larf some more.......christ on a bike, sometimes I am in awe at the stupidity of RL fans
England RL play NZ later this year......you reckon we'll average 66k a game or get anything like the TV audience that Italy v Scotland got at the weekend?.....Let's have another giggle shall we?
It's fine that you don't pay any heed to Union, but your "did they play" comment is crassness in the extreme!
