Quote newgroundb4wakey="newgroundb4wakey"Of the 4 forwards on the Cas bench Maher played 10 minutes and O'Neil wasn't used at all. Add to that the fact that Massey never returned after his injury and I think that pretty much evens things out.
Gildart was world class in that fist half hour but then we stopped the ball getting to him and as some have said on here our forwards started to dominate but it was a young Jake Trueman who deservedly took the MOM for his astute kicking game which forced so many repeat sets with the obvious fatigue factor for your players. I was surprised how easy it was for our forwards to march up the field though and I thought some of your players heads went down when under pressure.
At the end of the day if SOL had been playing I think his calming influence would have seen you comfortably home.
Thanks for travelling in numbers again, its much appreciated.'"
We were down to 1 sub at the end we had too many young players who did their best in Paisley ,Partington and Byrne who are all just turned 20 and Smithies playing in the under 19s.No excuses there you only play to your potential first half Wigan were on fire until Sammut got injured then we went downhill from there,
