Credit to Cas, fully deserved the win..
We were abject, from the opening whistle, the team lacked focus.
The error strewn performance was frankly appalling.
Line speed, and energy levels were concerning.
Individual performances, I thought only Eseh and Laidlaw brought enthusiasm.
Defensively our 'centres ' are poor, very disappointed with Rapana as a marquee player.
I agree about Rapana.Total waste of a quota spot
You dont bring in someone like Rapana because he is experienced and good to have around in the dressing room you use your quota spots on overseas players because they are usually better quality than uk players.He was a wing and now way past his best.
That said given we are playing with no centres and no second row its little wonder we struggle in some games
Every season we say we have to add some pace.
If Cartwright decides to use Pryce as a full back then we need a running halfback.If he moves Pryce to six then we have to find a running full back.
Centre though has to be a priority.
Hardaker though could give us a useful second row option and an ideal bench player given his ability to also play in the backs
Hardaker
Rapana is too desperate to make something happen, every drive gets makes he's trying to do a maverick shrug off several defenders and go the length of the field and the problem is even for players in their prime that only happens a couple of times a season. He needs to go back to basics.
I do have some sympathy that he has played a different position each week though.
We are badly lacking pace in the Centres and the backline made worse with Pryce now being out. Teams are not daft and watch videos and it's clear to see a quick burst of pace creates gaps in our defence.
