Part of the problem with Hood is that he can't do the full 80 which always means we have to have an option to rotate. Kay gave a good account of himself at 9 and has also provided cover in the backs which makes him a valuable member of the 17 when fit.
I would have liked to see Bowes get more opportunities as he seems both capable and fit enough to play longer minutes.

Thought his passing from dummy half was a bit erratic but his speed from the PTB appeared a real threat…

Gaskell

God help us with that back line.

Saints missing some quality back-rowers too but think they will still be way too strong for us!!

Bowes hasn’t got the skills, he may have eventually but now he’s not quite there imho. He does have some very positive attributes and a loan spell at another club would do him the world of good.

My thoughts exactly. They’re still very strong across the park. We’ll see

God to agree it looks pretty shoddy. That said the only attribute Gaskell has left is a decent pass so Murphy may get a chance.

It’s fair to say Hall has faltered in recent weeks and a rest is not a bad idea.

I’ve lost faith in Croft, a shadow of what he was pre injury.

I’m sure you mentioned attending the fixture versus KR reserves earlier in the year and appreciate it wasn’t against their first team but he looked brilliant with ball in hand, didn’t he? Well I thought so anyway but god knows what has changed.
