Douglas reminds me a bit of Jason Cayless. Not particularly impressive carrying the ball but seems to be everywhere.

Lets not go overboard, neither did anything special. 'Solid' is the word I'd use to describe them both, Walker if anything looks like he might have that destructive element to his game that we've missed for so long. By that I mean the aggression to knock the opposition off their game, make them go after him, open up space for others and make the penalties rain in. Having said that, as pointed out, it was against quality opposition.

I think the pack will be fine. It's 6,7 and 9 that worry me now. We've no depth in the halves and I'm not convinced by Theo Fages, first ten games of next season is make or break for him I feel. Smith will be Smith, so we'll need all that creativity and class to come from Theo, which is a lot of pressure for a youngster.

9 was part of the pack when I played, funny how things change.

As usual our halves will be a problem again. The is massive amount on pressure on Theo to produce any spark in attack as Smith has no creativity really.

It's a shame we've not brought in a top 7 axis we now have good attacking players on the edges with percy and Morgan.

Yeah yeah Captain Pedantic. A normal person would have been required to explain that better, but not me.

It does stick out like a sore thumb doesn't it. I can see Lomax joining the attacking line a bit more to take a bit of pressure off Fages.

Lomax is our key attack, no doubt about that, it's no coincidence we went on 12 match winning run when lomax came back and our attack picked up.

The outside backs look decent as does the pack but the halves look weak.

I thought Lomax had a good game in a well-beaten England side today. Joined the line well, and added threat. In SL, if he keeps that up, with two decent centres, we have grounds for optimism.

The problem imo is getting good ball to the likes of percy, lomax and Morgan

Keeping our Backs Fit is the most important thing for me, our Back line is as good as anyone in the League,the problems start when we get injuries.
