Last night was always going to be a one way result, you cannot put that many young kids out there who (in my opinion at least) are not physically ready for SL. That is no criticism on them, I thought they gave it a good dig, but they need time to develop before been thrown to the lions den.
The question should be, why in round 8 have we been forced to this position? Why is our £2.35 million pound (according to someone) squad that stretched that we had a bench of 20 year olds, an 18 year old at full back and in the halves, and a 19 year old on the wing?
I also thought last night highlighted how incredibly average some of the elder players in our squad are. Yes they are doing it tough and have young kids either side of them, but even still I found them being more at fault for several tries than the young kids.
Regardless of what is on the horizon regarding change, we shouldn’t forget what an absolute mess this club has been subjected to by its owner and CEO. I would fully prefer them both to be out the door to be brutally honest, but have accepted that won’t be happening anytime soon.
Again, another drubbing, and another almost pointless task in trying to look for positives. I’ll credit Ese’ese who put in a right shift in.
