Quote: Kirmudgeonlyisback "We didn’t do the basics (yet again), forward passes penalties aside we didn’t control the ball , our forwards very rarely made any sort of platform for the backs to play off, our half backs were pretty much clueless - yes Lino made a couple of decent darts but literally he couldn’t tackle me, Johnson I don’t think got a pass game was effectively over after about ten minutes (again)
We have too many similar hard working relatively small forwards that are totally interchangeable - aydin v whitbread v arona v battye in front row? Makes no difference - same in back row - pick of bunch today was undoubtedly crowther who had a decent game.'"
I agree, we have no size. Crowther did alright despite people singing 'you're not fit to wear the shirt' as he left the field with a head knock. Not enough size in the pack and no solid leg drives. We're too easy to run at. Looks like a game of bulldog at school- big lads run at the line and everyone crumbles.
