Is Dagger injured? He'd have kicked at least a couple of those conversions. He also looks a better partner for Gale than Lino.

Agreed. Dagger so much better. And where was the desperation in our situation?

Lino offers nothing and hasn't for a very long time. Same goes for Proctor, plays hardly any minutes. In fact apart from Whitbread and Fifita our pack was poor tonight imo.

I can't remember, trying to forget the whole match, did Proctor come back on after his, was it 15 minutes, at the start?

If Applegarth is going to bite the bullet for anything he needs to get over his Lino obsession. Beyond a joke now. Anyone can see how Lino has performed this season compared to Dagger so I can only guess he is picking on reputation and nationality.

Agreed. Forwards were really poor apart from those two you mentioned.

He was and he looked like what he is, a player whose legs have long since gone. He might have the rugby brain still but he struggles with the pace of the game more often than not.

Think the main difference tonight was the Cas simple kick chase game plus Edens finishing.

People keep telling me he is a running threat. He hasn’t scored a try all season.

Cas responded to the new coach and new signing and looked like they wanted to win. We looked good when we threw it about but terrible when we reverted to one man rugby.

So our defence was ok? backing off when defending in our own twenty gifted them 2 tries. Absolutely awful from professional players.
