You can't keep making excuse's,even with players out you can get your defence right and our's is garbage,I hear we play more australian rules than rugby in training.I think people need to realise our coach is not as good as they think he is,even if the truth hurts!

Perhaps Cas kids are better quality then Rovers have.
The saying if your good enough your old enough has to meet both criteria.

Our defence been quite embarrassing for the majority of the season, all I have heard about is how bad we are missing Dobson and Newton. Well guess what, scoring points is not the real problem.

Sherriff was outstanding for the under 20s last night and i have no doubts that he is going to be our full back for many years to come. However, its not the ability side of the game that would make me wary about him or some of the other young kids for that matter. Its the physical aspect of the game. Sherriff had one high impact collision with Kyle Eastmond last night and came away looking as though his world had ended.
I would give him another couple of months in the 20s and then send him out on loan to a Championship club in readiness to take over from Briscoe next year.

You make a key point that is overlooked by many.
Sheriff im sure would be okay at this stage of his development in the odd game or so.
Its the physical demands that he would struggle with game on game.

Is brisco leaving then
