It's to be hoped we win this warm up game.
I can 't remember the last time we won one.
I know the idea is to warm up, but it is also to win!
Without Beryl, it is tough against any decent opposition and the sooner he returns the better.
I do hope he doesn't miss league games ...these things have a way of dragging on and he has to be ready and right first.
Forget the rose tinted specs ...we were under the pump for the first 20 mins and almost all the second half against Sheffield.
They bust us up the middle 2 or three times in the first half, which is a bad sign.
Unless Peltier and Horne were on we had no go forward.
Rangi was the man trying to make us tick and he did a great job at times.
I remember a great try between Rangi and Watson, a couple of scurrying other tries and some good effort and heroic tackling.
But we were under the pump and having to tackle most of the game.
Not good enough.
We couldn't push them back and that is our main problem along with ruck speed which our coach is always using as a reason for any failure.
