It is in the sense that they had quite a few youngsters in and weren’t as physical as other teams, (although when Lissone came on we struggled with him) however whilst this allowed us to play out of our 20 a bit more and create more chances we still struggled to get points and although not overpowered this time, Croft, Akers and Miller cut though us like a knife through butter. That all points to it not just being a physical disparity but a quality one. I did think Butler was revved up tonight and the usual suspects worked hard. Natoli did well for first game of the season O Leyland had his moments ( save his kicking from the tee) and Meadows looked more lively than before but basically we are where we are a championship side in SL getting hammered every week. It really is the worst of all worlds.
