I can't argue with that - not anywhere near enough work from the props (Eorl apart). Given that I'd say that Korky should be given a chance on Sunday. That's what having a strong squad is all about.

It would not surprise me if that were the case.

Given Faiumu's performance yesterday it would be interesting to see how he would go at 6 or as a ball playing LF type role. His stepping yesterday was really good and it would possibly allow for Lunt to come in.

Already looking forward to Celtic getting some points next Sunday.

You bloomin set of doom and gloom merchants the lot of yers.

Yes we were poor yesterday, did you thing we would be unbeaten for the rest of the season???

As for players being swapped, even last season I thought Faiumu was our best #9 and so far this season I think the same, he gives us go forward out of nothing, and his stepping can cause havock.

His passing from the ruck is also miles better than Lunt or Moor who still throw too many wonky passes that slow the play down too, but thats youth.

Anyway, a win next week, a win the week after in the cup and all this will be forgotten

it not all doom and gloom.
just some players need a kick up the back side.
as for moore and griff they have been poor for the last few games,so lets use the depth we have in the squad and imo griff and moore will come back stronger

Think a fair few players will be disappointed with how they played yesterday. It wont harm rotating the squad about to give some players a well deserved rest and a time for reflection.

Faiumu should start at 9, great step and pass. But don't use him in the back row.

I feel sorry for Kevin Brown. As I have said before, I thought his natural position was at centre but he was doing well at S.O. this season until Fulton started to play and got injured. What sort of motivation can he have knowing that he will probably be dropped, however well he plays, as soon as Fulton is fit again?

With an 11 t 4 penaty count against us the boys would have done a lot of defending,that takes a lot of fuel out of you, so when they had the ball in there hands they would have been less affective, hey but what do i know.

The first 2 tries were from a Penalties and heads went down straight away. What does not help is our players offloading on our 10-20 meter line still with 6 to go and losing control of the ball then going back to defending our line again , I'm not surprised we were cream crackered. This happened on several occasions yesterday this needs to stop.

We were appalling yesterday.
