Two teenage forwards and one 20 year old pushed us around Lets face it it there is no way we could have played 3 forwards of that age in our team and come away with a result like Wigan did

the way you talk its as though we was beat by 50 not beat by a drop goal, as been said over and over again we know we need to upgrade our pack, We Are,
once a black and white always a black and white COYH

Chuck in the fact that we were missing Paea, Bowden, Manu and Savelio it's hardly a surprise we got rolled at times. We heard a lot about Green being the one player who would have made a difference in the semi and who we should be retaining. Not that convinced he is indispensable personally but interested to see how things pan out. The back row certainly seems to be upweighted next year and we have strong backs. Hope to see props similarly strengthened.
Where has anyone said green is indispensable? Plenty saying he is better than fash, which he is

Like others on here I'm puzzled with the situation with Jake. Playing at right centre, he and Ratu were up there with the best in the league. Carlos to my knowledge has always played on the left and with Josh proving his worth in the second row, those three ought to be put where they give most value. Kelly and Sneyd go without saying. Bureto needs to up his game with more outside backs joining us next year or he'll be spending more time in the reserves. That said, and even without our star men shining, we're still 3rd in the league with two very winnable games coming up.

So most of them weren't kids then. As many over 30 as under 25.

One thing that I don’t get is fir a lad his size as soon as contact is made he stops moving his legs and concedes to the tackle. We certainly missed Paea which didn’t think I’d say after the way he started the season.
Just think we missed a trick last night and Radford got it wrong as should have had Connor starting centre alongside Ratu and Carlos alongside Faraimo with Griffin starting 2nd row and Lane on the bench. We certainly miss Manu when he’s not in the side.
I thought Greeny went ok last night, what really disappointed me was when Westy broke through, Greeny was in support, but no backs.
