Delightful with ball in hand, seam to remember him tearing saints apart at their place in the first half. Only to witness us conceding a hefty lead in the second half.

The issue isn’t Proctor.

The issue is a 9, 6 & 7.

I’m with you on 9. I think 13 is more of an issue though and Ashurst needs to sit out a few and drop the captaincy. Running it in is fine repeatedly but not when the ball comes to you in good movement prime for a right to left shift… Crowther stunted that numerous times.

I thought Lino and Smith got the ball into some decent positions today tbh and would persevere with that. Wasn’t perfect but was improvement. There wasn’t many great attacking lines presented for them except Dagger a few times out back.

We got ball in good field position and had a good bit of possession.

We even got go forward off our pack.

Our “halves” got good ball and ran sideways.

Both were terrible in my opinion.

Have to disagree… there was no energy, penetration, unselfish lines… no bending the Cas line… to a man the forwards were awful… and when you only have one creative half.. and a weak pack.. it’s easy peasy to defend.

Simply not good enough at this level ,whether in attack or defence our skill sets are woefully inadequate .The continual chopping and changing of the team cannot help ,but they looked like a team that had just been cobbled together the day before .10 minutes without westerman and they score sums the night up for me ,and sets us up for a long depressing season ahead culminating in the inevitable drop into the unknown
