Thought he was poor but no worse than anyone else, for what its worth Whiting has been poor in the reserves and doesnt deserve a first team call up either!

Utter nonsense. Great play from Graeme and one the few that finished the chances he got.

Is this thread for real? Graeme did ok on Friday there was a hell of a lot worse than him. One loss and all this crap starts.

Yeaman was crap. What is the point in having wingers if we aren't going to utilise their strong points to our advantage.

cant knock his performance at all on friday, 3 tries sums up how he played going forward.

about not passing to calderwood let his partnership develop more with calderwood and in my opinion he is by not passing choosing the right decision. calderwood is best in open space and hasnt that yet. By going himself he isnt risking calderwood being dragged into touch and therefore losing possession.

defensively, very solid and only every had problems on that side due to numbers and therefore team issue rather than individual. he played the sliding defence very well and prevented cas having the extra man constantly.

Compare both him and Yeaman to Shenton and Evans from Friday they were a class apart. Better service granted but they hit the ball at pace and ran at the gaps. We struggle to do that.

The same Yeamo you all raved about when you thought you was getting him

Didn't G Horne put 3 tries past Shenton ? Don't get me wrong our centres are not the best in my view but on Friday there wasn't much between ours and theirs. Same can be said about the teams as a whole - certainly Cas were not so much better than Hull as some are suggesting. Otherwise the scoreline, and number of tries scored in particular, would have looked much different.

G Horne finished 3 very good tries, but dont let that over shadow the fact that both him and yeamo were poor. No worse than the rest of the team but very poor.

Shenton and Evans caught the ball on the outside shoulder of our centres and made an extra 10-15 metres or so by punching the hole. We looked pedestrian in comparison and seemed to go back to running at the man again.

Shenton was caught out near to his own line by a 2nd rower playing centre who had more power.

Most good can play second row nowadays. Graeme was not poor at all and it's quite ridiculous how he's become the newest in a long line of scapegoats. If the rest of the team had as "poor" a game as Graeme, we'd have won the game.

I actually think that centre is one of our weakest positions so would agree in the main with what you say about our lads. Think you're overstating the influence their centres had a bit mind.
