Astonishingly unnerving to see George Fairbairn back on the field!

id love to see him in red n white nowadays (in his prime of course)

Said it all off-season, if we start with Talanoa, Sa, Yeaman & Lineham we'll be painfully slow. I just don't think we lose much in proportion to what we gain playing one of Micheals instead of Yeaman or Lancaster instead of Talanoa. Was it just twice Talanoa's poor positional play cost us a try today?

Losing Ellis hit us hard, disappointed no one really took up the reins as leader.

One of the biggest failings of our team has been support once a break is made, when Shaul/Houghton make a break Yeaman or Talanoa won't be anywhere near backing up, I guarantee you Michaels and Lancaster would be.

Spot on with Feka maybe why Radford doesn't give him much game time.
Cant see Bowden or Green ever making a top class prop.
Can see Bobby Tyson-Wilson coming in for one of these two

We used 21.

Taylor will replace him next year, I'd guess?

Who's replacing Paea?

Not sure, would imagine a non fed recruit?

Hopefully not, want BTW to get a go, not another Aussie.

Get down to the 19's if you can at some point, 17 year old Matongo will probably be ready by next year, he's huge!!!

Was impressed with him last week. Just thinking we're freeing up 2 non fed spots, replacing one with Taylor, wouldn't surprise me if we bring in one non fed forward.

Lot more value for money to be had domestically, especially in the forwards.

Little availability though. Lack of quality means clubs hold onto best players and limited open market movement. Taylor's return would be driven by Hull link.
