Thought butler had a great game and ran really well.

Got to echo the sentiments about Butler. Has come back looking hungry in pre-season and thought he went well when he came on. If the other members of our pack had the same intensity we wouldn't have struggled carrying the ball out as much as we did.

Agree

Jai Whitbread did 42 tackles missing 1 and 12 carries for average of 7 metres per carry.
They are good stars

Reece made 134 metres. Next closest was 85!

Lineham took the ball up 17 times.

How many of those 134 metres were made in a forward direction, and how many sideways? he’s nicknamed the crab for a reason.

They don't measure how far he ran. They measure metres gained.

Looking at some of the stats coming out it's worth watching the game again on Trin TV I guess.

God, I hate that view from behind the sticks. Surely only Bistro42 see that angle in a positive light?

For some, Lyne would have to score a hattrick in every game to be worthy of his place.
Lineham could be in a similar position.

Lineham was probably our hardest working player last Friday, certainly amongst the backs but, "he should be dropped", it's a bit weird.

For the first 20 minutes Lineham did twice the carries of any of our forwards. He has my respect for that.

I presume they use the information from the gps fitted in each shirt therefore how does it know if the metres are forward or sideways.

Agree , and no fan of Lineham .Thinks fans should look in the middle of the park for the main problem of why are backs look poor .The backs are getting past it ,but are not as bad as they looked again Catalan
