In my time I've seen some bizarre rants regarding the status of players but this one has me in hysterics.
Now I'm a huge Arundel fan, always have been, unlike those who've suddenly made him the messiah of centres, the best since Neil Fox it would seem.
Well he isn't, he's the most natural centre we have and in due course will get his chance but after an ACL the coaches will be wary and as we already have two excellent centres in their own ways, why rush.
I can just about get the Hampshire obsession with some on here but Arundel, are we seriously suggesting he is the players to fix things even though he plays in a position that isn't the issue!
Soft forwards, that's our problem, Dave was poor, the rest of the props not much better, Tanginoa had his most invisible game ever (in attack) and so on.
True Senior is raw but the damage is done long before it gets to a winger, once there is an overlap there isn't much you can do. Leeds stacked that right edge, it was obvious yet nobody gets across to cover the gaps. The only players truly putting themselves about in defence were Miller, Westerman and Crowther.
Might also note that it was on the left edge, not the right where two tries were bombed.
Finally had that Ref not given a forward pass and let's be honest had it been Leeds he probably wouldn't have then we'd have possibly drawn the game in the last minute. Then we may have won it in extra time and all on here would be sunshine and light.
Get a grip, man up and move on to the next game, like the team has to do. You win some, you lose some, petulance and self-pity though is not the recipe to change anything. That is why we all stand on the terraces whilst those who can play get on with it, yes even the new messiah himself St Joe.
