Trying, to stay positive, for my money the guys that impressed me tonight were :-

Paul Rauhihi
Woody
Moz
Chris Bridge

Jeez, thats only 4 out of 17

Riley, Carvell, Higham, Vinnie Anderson, Morley, Wood

riley

Hicks

Rauhihi for me....Even Riley, who is a definite 100 percenter, started making mistakes by the end, though I guess playing with that shambles would destroy most youngsters.

The No 12 (green kit) in the kids game before the match was something of an enforcer.

Chris Hicks' Headband, he looks like a cool dude with it.

I thought Wolfie was fantastic tonight, very interactive with the fans.

Shame he was let down by the team.

I'm actually glad for Bridge that he got 80mins under his belt. He impressed me in places. I suppose Carvell, Moz and Rah lead us very well, until 60 minutes.

I said this at some point last season, and I'll say it again....

...Are our 'fantastic' individuals really as good as everybody seems to reckon??....Again tonight we had Eddie Hemmings listing all our great players, and commenting how we should be world-beaters, but is he actually wrong?

Briers?....No coincidence that during this seemingly endless run of under-acheivement, he is the running constant....King?..Less said the better...Monaghan...Same as King....The Anderson's??....They actually suit Wire, because they constantly flatter to deceive..

The list is pretty endless, and I think its fair to admit that maybe we have all built these guys up to be something they are not, and in some cases, have never been.

Maybe the results aren't an under-acheivement, but more all we can expect from an average group of players, not helped by a novice coach?
