I think awful is a strong term but I would agree they were average. Mind you the team as a whole didn't get out of second gear. I am looking forward to seeing us ramp it up over the next few weeks.

Yeah, your probably right. Hampshire for me just doesn't impose himself on the game and I was expecting to see more from him yesterday but other than doing the majority of kicking he was anonymous again. Walters hasn't settled in properly yet but his carries have no conviction. I was excited by his signing but have been underwhelmed so far although their is itigation with changing sides most weeks since the injury

I think that is fair enough. Walters needs to find some of Juniors aggression. He is a big unit and can do untold damage. I’m not convinced his position is playing out wide though. As for Rocky, I think the experiment of playing him at 6 and Bevan at 1 should be over, it dilutes our attack. We need to find a temporary replacement for Jai and put French in the position where the opposition fear him.

| I wouldn’t have been opposed giving Keighran a go as a running steady 6 like he played a lot for Catalan but the Wardle injury might scupper that

Isn't that why we got rid of him first time round? Going away & improving your game is one thing & I think he was out to impress when he first arrived back. But it really does look like old, bad habits have crept back in. Ok in bursts, then seems to go missing for large periods.
Maybe Peet can whisper in his shell-like & stick a wasp up where it'll motivate a little.

I thought the same but this game showed the best option is Smith and Farrimond with French at 1 for me.
Who should play fullback if not French?
Also I thought Hampshire was a lot better in this game taking on Smith's role. Unfortunately that's not really what we need atm.

| Quote: Simba16 "Farrimond is (another) exceptional talent coming through our system. If Field is out for a few more weeks and we have the 3 games in a week coming up then he may get an extended run. Wardle and Leeming came off with knocks so possibly Keighran comes back into centre and Ecky moves to his natural side with a run out for Forber.'"
Forber himself is injured. A shame for the lad because he may have got a run if Leeming is out for any length of time.

To be fair it is not easy when you are in and out of the side. He has little chance to develop his understanding with his teammates.

I can’t see Leeming being back any time soon. Wardle I think was more precautionary. It looks like O’Neill will have to do long minutes and we will run with four forwards on the bench. Cooper will come back for the big games, it looks as though Peet is managing his game time carefully.

Eckersley for me.

| I seem to remember Rocky has had a few spells as hooker at Cas - he could take Leeming's place on the bench, and be a similar type of player able to inject a bit of pace at dummy half. Closest like for like swap we have.
Then its a decision on FB and No 6 . Do we keep Eckersley in the team and move him to FB or keep him at Centre , and Adam goes to FB, or keep French at FB and put Farrimond in at 6 - he looks to be able to take a similar running threat and has a short kicking option too close to the line similar to Bevan leaving the organisation to Harry .
I'm favouring putting Farrimond in at 6 as it's the closet like for like with Field and French offering threats at both FB and 6.

I [ido[/i think there's a more than decent player in there somewhere. Just needs more consistency (& maybe game time) as well as showing willing.

There probably is but he is now keeping a youngster out of the team so this should be his last season
