Seems to be an issue tbh.

Smith needs to go now hes a defencive liability and Tomkins must have his chance at 6.

No. They have not for over 2 years, but some on here will claim they do and Nobles record speaks volumes. 2 third placed finished in a 2 horse race, and losing to 3 of the weakest teams in the league on last years form.

The players we have bought are to blame...Riddell, Smith, Roberts...replace them with young local lads and we'd fare better

No we would not. Give them options, runners, lines etc etc they stand a chance at the moment we are cannon fodder, these players do not become poor overnight, but if they are limited in what they can do, how the hell can they play to there potential.

One thing is clear Smith needs to drop in at bobby, or grow a set, he cannot continue in the first line of defence.

We finished 6th and 4th, we shouldn't let the playoffs paper over that fact. We'll not finish in top 4 this season.

Hey, we scored with a set move from the scrum tonight that included a dummy runner.
