But is that not 'in an ideal world' type situation? We'd all prefer him to not be thrown in at the deep end, but that's what we are facing.

What will Shorrocks do, that he can't?

The only question is... is Bourouh a better hooker than Shorrocks? The answer is obviously yes because that's his natural position.

Wane would give him the chance and so would most coaches. E.g. starting McIlorum in the GF in 2010.

No Field tonight

Right call if he can't do 80mins, can't afford to waste a bench spot on a back trying to get match fit

When O’Neill came on the other week (I think his last appearance) I remember thinking what a shocker he had for the short time he was on. Missed tackles and poor defensive reads from memory. I don’t think we’ve seen him since.

Totally agree
Plus it means Hastings goes back into the HB position he should always play

It’s kind of the same question I’ve just asked looking at the team - only with a few profanities in there. Shorrocks at 9, Bateman on the bench, no Field.

Lovely.

I just don't what to say about it.

Seriously deflated, angry and just fed up with this season tbh.

Like someone else said, is it 2022 yet.

First 5 minutes we get a set restart on the 4th tackle we still don’t end the set in a position to make an attacking kick, in fact Faz ends up kicking it.

9 tackles and we can’t get in the danger zone.

That’s why we won’t be Saints.

Saints next set they kick from a similar position on the field as we did after 9 tackles.

As good as hasting is but that nothing up and under kick is annoying

Going for 2 Wtf!!

What on earth.

Says it all really - not even the players have any confidence in our attack

Tackled into touch, backed up by not looking after the ball under your own sticks, we really are dumb, and basically e.
