Wheeler should have been playing tonight, as should Lomax IMO. They are two creative and exciting but mature and 'safe' youngsters. But why on earth did Potter, on a night when we were so hit by the absence of senior players, decide to debut Ellis? To me that is a totally stupid decision, for Ellis and for the team.

Ruth Ellis could have made a better job when the try was laid on a plate only for him to inexplicably drop the ball.

Agreed -these youngsters have been over hyped well above their ability.

Indeed we do, and now the upside of a possible injury layoff for long, is he should get a prolonged runout at 7. As i've said already, KC being out worries me much more until we get Moore back next year.

Could be a lengthy one.

Eastmond isn't all what he's cracked up to be IMHO...

You will miss Cunningham, always said it.

hopefully this will inspire us to perform better, but we're not in great shape, that said i'd rather have a little blip now than in the playoffs/semi-finals/finals
