TBF Goulding looked injured for most of the game. He did a job and that's it. People mention his form last year, but he had a excellent centre in Gleeson directing him around in defence, setting him up in attack and constantly talking to him. I knew as soon as Gleeson left that Goulding would tail off. Decent finisher, good squad player and nice lad but if he wants first team rugby permanently? I can't see it here IMO.

he was at fault for a try through poor positioning and a couple of times rushed off his wing and missed the tackle but luckily other players pushed out and covered him this could be down to lack of games and being rusty but IMO he is a long way behind Pat and Charnley and so the worry is he wont get the run of games he probably needs

Poor Daz.....he didnt do anything wrong last night but I thought that everyone in our backline completely outshone him.

Charnley is hitting some form, always looks hungry for tries, George ran like a 20 year old (even with an injury!), Joel looked solid at centre - excellent offloads and Sam was......well....Sam! Always threatening when he has the ball! He must be made of rubber coz how he never seems to get injured beggars belief!!

no more than ne1 else and no more than finch was for weeks, give the lad some time get bk in the game

He was at fault for Owens(?) try

the defense didnt slide so it left a man over, if finch had slid it would have pushed a man out and thus letting goulding to cover his man

but thats my point where is he going to get game time from?? He is no where near Pat and Charnley at the minute but he has got time on his contract to impress maybe he might need to go and play on dual reg like Charnley did and get some game time, confidence and hopefully some form

fair point, all i remember seeing was Goulding coming out of the line

we dont know whats up with paddy, could be out for a few could be bk next week,
i do agree that its going to be hard to get game time from but i dont think we should be having a go about him when hes done nothign but work solidly every game he plays

Pat has said he'll be back Saturday.

To be fair to him, he's improving - he did only fly off his wing twice last night.

Pat said on Twitter he will be back on Saturday. I understand your concerns about people having a go at Goulding but you shouldnt be suprised it happened with Pat, Piggy, Finch and will happen with anyone else who comes in and doesnt get off to a good start some fans want immediate results IMO Goulding will only improve with game time and not U20's game time
