Its makes you wonder weather they do this on purpose as they have done this past few years. If you play x2 pre-season games at full strength your playing x2 extra games and come the business end of the season this could be the difference when it comes to "petrol in the tank". Its not ideal getting your match fitness in the early rounds as you go along because it doesnt look pretty and you could potentially pick up some losses and injuries, but you can afford to do this due to the league structure, at the end of the day all you need is a top 5 finish. It would be interesting to see what a pre season would be like if its first past the post

Possibly yes. All options are on the table really. It’s good to see we have such versatility in the back line but equally I struggle to see the point in signing Bibby if that happens

I agree with most of that.
Personally I think we are just too slow in everything that we do.
If I were Liam Byrne I'd brast Clubb next week in training.
TC is a joke at the moment. Another game with zero input.

In French and Hastings we have two top players. Put Holbrook in charge and we would have posted 50 plus tonight. Lam still looks spaced out.

It will sound contradictory but the team do seem to be together particularly in defence.

Far from happy but glad of the two points.

In French I believe we truly have a potential star. I just hope we have the team to let him shine.

Ultimately is Bibby an improvement on Sarginson? Not for me.

Yeah, I'm very happy with French at full-back, he was excellent in attack and didn't let us down in defence. But Toronto are a very ordinary side and they still managed more offloads and moved the ball around more than we did for most of the game. Hastings is a quality player and Smith looks to be coming on nicely. But we need to get away from the awful one-man rugby we played in the first half. I hear plenty of criticism of Lockers for being too old and too slow, but once again (happened last week too), i was glad he was there to make those tackles others missed when the opposition broke away. That shot to the face stopped him in his tracks with the try-line at his mercy; hope it's not too serious. On first viewing, wasn't that impressed with Clark, but Bullock did well, nice to see him appreciated by the crowd. Let's hope that try does do something for Burgess's confidence.

That the same Sarginson that was for 3 years?
