Bain Is not an adequate replacement for rodwell.i like bain energy and attitude but he doesnt offer as much as ky..look atvthe stats from dewsbury game and you will see what i mean

Bain is more of a LF who can play prop imo. They are different players and Bain has better hands I’d say. We don’t need to compare them against each other though. They can both offer positive contributions in their own right.

I agree. They are just different players.

Listening on the radio it sounded like Bain went well today (and was robbed of a try by Mickeymouseless which led to his sin-binning !!)
Was that the case ??

Yes powered his way over much like Atoni’s try ,only to have it scratched off , kicked the ball away and got 10 mins for his petulance . It was at the end with no fans in Fil so not obvious to us , but radio stated it was a well taken try , so no idea why it wasn’t given

awful decision clear try and then to get binned for kicking ball away ! He didn’t get anywhere to making contact with ball unless he has reflexes of the flash.

Interestingly rodwells agent was in crowd and I had quite a long conversation with him over course of game.

He did confirm that we were in the market for two more Aussies , that vafana is exempt from the quota. He also let slip that one of the players we were looking at was a back row .

Don’t think he said anything that we didn’t know but interesting all the same

I thought he got binned for having a go at the ref.

Probably telling the ref he didn’t kick the ball away and it was a try but it’s really shocking if lads got binned for scoring a try.

He clearly didn't get binned for scoring a try.

Regardless of whether the try is good or not he needs to learn to control his emotions about it. It's only going one way if you start reacting to it.
