I was very disheartened by the poor standard of many of the aspects of the Catalan game. VERY.

However, i really threw my toys out of the pram at a similar point last year, when we lost to London at home.

TP is playing so , so much for the shoulder injury.

Perry not playing is also interesting, not part of the usual rotation that royce mentioned as it's 2 weeks running

The long break did him the world of good thankfully.

Maybe Perry is still catching his breath.

I think a few weeks time everyone will see just what state the team really is in.
First half against cats saints looked pretty good I thought.

Ive been critical of foster for a while now in defence. he does need to sort that out.
Ade looks in good form so for me should be in.

Its a tough one with Wello. I didnt notice his poor defence as much as others, maybe I wasnt looking out for it as much, or maybe some people are overreacting? but if there is someone who can do a better job, and the general feeling is makinson should be at 1, which I agree with you would hope at some point that will happen.

How about wellens at centre, lomax at 1, wheeler in the halves.

that would be interesting.
never going top happen but thought id type it anyway for ridicule

I've never ever heard of a team to rest/rotate wingers. Makinson, Ade and foster have now all had a rest in the first five weeks of the season.

Stanley Mathews and Mandy Hill at Blackpool 1950/60s.
Simmons has not lost the plot, he's never had one.

Weren't you calling for Foster to spend some time in the reserves a few days ago?

I was due to the fact he needs to rebuild some confidence but we've ladies rested Ade, makinson, wheeler and Meli from the backs.
