That was the biggest load of horse manure we have seen since the Beagles days - Penrif and Sharks debacles perhaps excepted.
Let's go through the side and assess their performance - taking in the coaches box as well.
B Stewart - Is not running onto the ball. Looks like he's audtioning for the number 6 jumper (unsuccesfully). 5/10
Bani - Didn't do much wrong. Can probably be absolved from blame. 6/10
Bell - Crap. Defence was poor, bombed a try and continues to shuffle and crowd his players. So much shirt grabbing in defence. 2/10 (and that's being generous).
Vaeleki - Was better when he left the field injured. 1/10
Robertson - Had limited opportunities and bailed us out of trouble a few times. 7/10
Lyon - Appalling. This "experiment" at number 6 has to end. His defence was porous, did nothing with the ball, bombed a try by kicking rather than passing and looked bewildered and disinterested. 0/10
Offord - Played the "tried hard" sort of game you'd expect of a half back in his first season of grade - not a $500,000 blue chip. We know he is going to cop the blame though at least he was 2 out of 17 players that had a dig. 4/10
