Defence needs improving all over the park, not just in the centres.. They scored easy tries on the left side, on the right side and the middle side as well as a telegraphed interception... Team work is the key to defence, and i was hoping dennis would have addressed that as defence was our weak suit last season... Obviously there's time to improve but it would have been nice to have a better starting point..

Hecks needs some help from a new seasoned prop and quickly up front.. Frodsham is slow and cumbersome.. Not upto standard for NL1 ATM for me.. Varks was ok.. But without Picks n G Haggerty we are light upfront..

Overall it was good to see us get of to winning start and my gut feeling is this squad is no better overall than last year... 4th or 5th place finish i recon....

The thing that concerns me most is - If we cant recruit a team to challenge the top 2 or 3 in NL1... IF we get to SL how the hell will we recruit a team to challenge the lower/mid table teams...

Hilarious!

Hopefully Cassidy can train him to tackle like he used to, ball in hand he's not to bad but still needs to improve imo

I think people ought to give Toulouse some respect. They are Championship play-off contenders this season, no question.

Correct!

There were weaknesses and several poor individual performances, which are being discussed. Whilst I’m sure that Toulouse are a decent side, they’ll struggle to get in the top 6 again imo. If we play as we did last Saturday, and certain players don’t buck up, we will struggle to beat the top four clubs in this division, which Toulouse are most certainly not one.

We stuck 22 unanswered points against them in the last 15 minutes and were scoring almost at will. Whether Toulouse are play off contenders or not, it doesn’t stop our players tackling properly, supporting breaks and it doesn’t necessarily make our kicking game poor.

These are genuine concerns.
