Lino offers nothing and hasn't for a very long time. Same goes for Proctor, plays hardly any minutes. In fact apart from Whitbread and Fifita our pack was poor tonight imo.

Dagger was 18th man. A shocker of a decision from our ‘coach’.

Agreed. Dagger so much better. And where was the desperation in our situation?

I thought Gale was awful… truly awful

I can't remember, trying to forget the whole match, did Proctor come back on after his, was it 15 minutes, at the start?

If Applegarth is going to bite the bullet for anything he needs to get over his Lino obsession. Beyond a joke now. Anyone can see how Lino has performed this season compared to Dagger so I can only guess he is picking on reputation and nationality.

No.......

Agreed. Forwards were really poor apart from those two you mentioned.

He was and he looked like what he is, a player whose legs have long since gone. He might have the rugby brain still but he struggles with the pace of the game more often than not.

Think the main difference tonight was the Cas simple kick chase game plus Edens finishing.

People keep telling me he is a running threat. He hasn’t scored a try all season.

So our defence was ok? backing off when defending in our own twenty gifted them 2 tries. Absolutely awful from professional players.

The guy clearly is trying but is also clearly not very good at anything that you require from a halfback. I don't like criticising players but I will say what I see. His passing isn't good enough, his in play kicking isn't good enough and his running game clearly isn't good enough. The evidence is there to see from all season. There's others that aren't as good as him but they're not the blokes who are one of our imports on a higher wage so I'm not going to hold them to the same standard!

And Lino wasn't much better, how he has walked back into the side is a mystery.

Can't agree Richard. I thought Batty produced several strong runs. Best forward tonight for me.
