any honest appraisal of that performance would conclude one thing-although we are toiling honestly but we are a tired side with players carrying injury who are marking time waiting to be deivered the final blow.
momentum is the key to winning GF's a nd we dont have it unfortunately.2 great players out for season,another one obviously suffering due to his brothers circumstance,and many niggling injuries have robbed us of our spark.
I' sure i will get howled down but I really think the player we are missing(aside from the obvious) is farrar.He may have problems under the high ball but he provides a bit of spark to our backline be it chiming in or running on to a grubber kick.His return could help.
The much maligned players,TH and Williams were good tonight,Lyon his usual good self,Oldfield really impressive and as kiwi said,the rest were hot and cold.Keiran Foran will be a top line bustling lock forward in my opinion(always has been my opinion) and I think we have future decisions to make not only at 7 but 6 as well.DCE's ability is becoming more important by the minute.
Finally,a try like mannering scored happens every week and that is why we are making up the numbers IMO.remember fui fui in round 2 and La franchi against the titans,Uagainst knights.the list is long and all very similar.
Anyway plenty of marks for ticker tonight at the back end but other than that it just left me feeling flat.
