Sam's got his work cut out that's for sure.

I blamed the ref because he was gash, we were too, didn't help ourselves, couldn't beat 12 men but I'm not surprised.

Same old problem ,getting marched downfield to easily . The most dangerous we looked was in the last 20 seconds when Ashton got hold of the ball .

It'll be interesting to see how quickly people work out that a lot of Ashton's impact last season was supported by Ratchford's centre play. Whereas King's first impulse is to head infield.

I have to say though...that Sims tackle on Williams was EPIC

Weirdly I thought we were decent and are laying a foundation. There’s a good side there and it will emerge.

Positives

Conceding only 2 tries.
Players looked "together"
Vaughan picked up where he left off.
We look fitter.

Concerns

Pack easily beaten. Dudson and Philbin are ineffective prop forwards.
We dont look threatening in opposition 30m.
Halfbacks dont create many opportunites.
Dumb rugby / discipline.

Fitzgibbon looked v decent and i thought Musgrove did well too.

Halves MUST do better though. Williams doesn't look much of a Marquee player on tonight's performance. Own the game, Son.

Drinkwater was awful again.
