This type of team under Smith would have been beaten by 40 points today, be interesting to see how we get on.

Martin seems very suspect when defending attacking kicks.

Weird take, thought he has dealt with everything as good as possible today, particularly against one of the best.

Tried hard for 20 mins, they got tied and main difference is Clarke, we don't have players of class in our 17 (yet). Trimuemans best quality is his defence which says it all, that last set we had on our line summed us up.

Can't fault the effort but just lacking quality and power today.

We are on the bones of our booty es team wise. Plenty of effort and pride being shown which lets be honest is all we can ask of the youngsters. Missing Ese Sao Ashworth King Cartwright we have no size.

Over a period time ive watched him and seems to drop a fair few balls so not sure how its a wierd take. He sorts that out a d will be a great winger.

Never seen it and never heard anyone mention it either, not made an error so far from a high kick, so strange time to mention it.

Balmforth having a shocker today, will happen at his age.

Unfortunately looks as though a 40 is coming as just battering us down the middle,too fast and Clark killing us from acting half

2 missed tackles that have cost us but is a learning curve for him….Well done Fash as well…people go on about Sao but Fash is just as daft and can see him being a squad player next yr
