Good 2 points in the bag after a draining week before. Can't believe our injury look at the mo.

I’ve no way seen enough of brown to say that, he looked lively when he come on last week, but what I have seen, I’d say his defence needs improvement, Bowden never lets you down in defence, maybe that’s what hodgson sees to

Bowden is a bit steadier and did okay. But he doesn't offer much and doesn't hit as hard as he used to. Didn't do many minutes either. He is the conservative choice right now but might not be by the end of the year.

easy win in the end, thought Fonua was a real handful tonight, getting better by the week, well played lads

Shaul
Griffin
Tuimavave
Scott
Taylor
Cator

Not great is it?

Fonua has to stay at centre too, much better running at halfbacks.

Fonua is much better in centre, gets to see more of the ball, a real handful and enjoying himself

Tend to agree Dave, tonight I thought he was the poorest forward and not by a small margin, just as he was starting to look more like the player he can be he got that elbow injury and it seems to have knocked his confidence again.

Thought Ma’u looked much improved again tonight. Fonua should remain in the centres as he looks a completely different player and said like others previously he’s a far better centre than winger.
Sneyd & Reynolds were again much improved and both engaging defenders and varying play. Connor again showed the talent he has with great affect. Sao & Satae again lead from the front. Swift and Lane also good performances.

Think Carlos maybe our a couple of weeks hopefully Scott is nothing serious and will be good to go against Leigh as he looked good up until getting injured.

Think Connor has to remain at FB and would be tempted to bring in Vulikijapani on the wing against Leigh with Swift switching to centre if neither Carlos or Scott are fit.

Still a mixed bag but improved in the 2nd half though still very much work in progress and a lot to work on.

Shame Ferreira is injured, sounds like he is next cab off the rank.

A decent win and a few on here are getting a bit giddy
We all want fc to win but put this into context
We beat a weakened Cas team missing their spine just days after they’d won their semi final.
Yes , Connor on his day is a good player but ..
Until he matures , his rugby he is a long way off being
England’s best full back.

Bowden has an ankle injury according to BH post match.
