imo I would stick with carlos for now, hopefully hes only going to get better, pryce blows hot and cold and hasn't been to consistant, plus his defence can be iffy at best

On the subject of attendances, for the last 2 weeks the card-reader in the disabled entrance has been "offline" when you scan your cards and showing "invalid pass". The steward has had to manually count the people through with a pen and paper. if there are other machines "offline" they are not counting correctly.

Once the forwards started being more direct (led by mini) things picked up. At one point in the first half it seemed like we had about 6 halves on the field and they were all running sideways or backwards. Second half the props were running straighter and it flowed off the back of that.

Agree totally. Pace and elusiveness towards the end of a game could prove a vital. I think the reason why our forwards wasn't as effective last night was down to the half backs, in particular Carlos, yes been eager and wanting the ball is great but it was at the wrong time.. their was times in that game where he should be directing play and injecting his presence when gaps appear, but demanding the ball on play 2 with no go forward and no break in defensive line then throwing the ball out wide expecting something to happen is not the answer, that's when overplaying starts, mistakes follow and frustration begins. Hardwork before playing expansive is the key, 2 to 3 hard drives and quick play the balls open gaps to then be able to play and that's where pryce has the edge, he's an organiser, the problem is after 4 or 5 games in a row he fatigues. I lost count last night of how many drop balls through overplaying on play 2 and 3 all because of not doing the hard work and disorganisation in attack. This led to hospital passes. 2nd half much better, got a roll on and played what was in front of us I. E Houghton try. I really do rate Carlos but it's just not the right time to experiment, this is a crucial period of the season

We haven't seen the last of Leon he's had a few niggles nothing serious, the time off will keep him fresh.
I'd like to see Pryce still play his part. He seems to drift out of games, but when he does inject himself, it usually leads to points. Not totally convinced by Carlos at stand off at the moment, but appreciate he needs time to grow into the role.
