Although our goal kicking was indeed very poor, it was a contributory factor and not the sole reason for the loss.

We got sucked into playing the type of game Cas wanted to play, we lacked composure throughout the game and came up with a defensive performance that all 17 players should be ashamed of.

Thats because McDonnell is pretty average. For every thing he does well he does something poor. Id put him on a par with Eden tbh.

After a promising start his limitations are starting to show now. Our attack just seems to fizzle out every time he gets the ball out wide. It's not always his fault as the ball has been slow getting there but I still think he could do better.

my only criticism of crooks was as he scored his 3rd try, lineham was screaming and pointing to put the ball down closer to the goalpost as well as a few of us in the stand behind the goal, instead he just ran a straight line and grounded the ball, there was cas player tracking back but he could quite easily have side stepped and wrong footed him

If only he could catch and pass
