I can’t see Brierley taking the ball up on the first or second tackle.

He’ll have to it he’s on the wing. But I get your point

Having witnessed a display that mirrored our tired late season run in, I do struggle to understand why McNally and Ridyard were not selected.

Second best in every aspect of the game, too many individual mistakes, extremely shoddy defence. Why do experienced players go for the shoulders of a runner when a tackle round the legs or even an ankle tap will bring him down?

The season went pear-shaped when we started making those extra signings. The team spirit went and once McNally wasn't at full back we lost a potent attacking threat and playing Brierley at full back appeared to nullify another attacking option. I think players knew they were on the way out. We miss McNally and Ridyard and can't understand they are being offloaded. But all in all, most of us expected to be nearer to the foot of the table so can't complain. Just hope, next season, we don't make the same mistake of signing a load of journeymen who are only here for the money.

Ridyards time has gone, our halfs looked a lot sharper without him but we don’t play the right structure to benefit

McNally is a strange one - at a loss as to what has gone in there

Good post that.

Very happy Brierley at full back. Most ineffective I have ever seen him against us and can’t tackle. Surprised Riddy not playing too, sure he would have been determined to put one over on us.
