But surely that comes with continuity and building combinations on the field?

We had a completely different spine from the previous game...1,6,7 and 9 were all different players. We can all criticise the lack of creativity, cohesion etc but how much impact has Covid had on us in that respect?

CC said the other day it’s the first time for ages we had an intense training session with 13 v 13 and there was clearly a huge improvement from recent weeks. We were a little rusty in execution but can be expected with the constant shuffling.

I can’t agree with the sentiment that we shouldn’t applaud mediocrity because it wasn’t a mediocre performance....

People slagged CC off last week for throwing players under the bus (when we were poor by the way)...then fans come on after what was a good performance and call it mediocre...doesn’t make sense?

I agree Gigot was a bit of a strange signing but can see why they did...we looked to be crying out for a bit of a spark in the halves and he became available so was a bit of a gamble, probably brought on by pressure..

What last night showed to me is that there’s still plenty of hope for next season if we get the crucial signings right...just look at that performance and imagine how good we could be with an Aidan Sezer type player...he proved against us and Cas the other night that a top class 7 can really, really make a difference...

But then again Farrell’s pass to Burgess wasn’t forward IMO.

I thought that at first however the camera angle was very deceiving.

I agree, my initial reaction was that it was not forward however when you watch the replay Farrell is behind/on the 10 metre line when he passes the ball and Burgess is about 2 metres past that line when he catches it.

Don’t want to put a downer on the “ How poor were Wakey “ thread Willzay, but I’m afraid Fordy is right and the decision was correct. If you’ve recorded the game it clearly shows it.

Definitely forward IMO
