When he plays we play well.
Before he arrived what dire performances we watched.
Seemed to click with Gale and speed up the passing across the line.
Been in superb goalkeeping form.
Him and Jowitt are ideal at speeding up our attack.
Absolutely mystery to me as to why, barring injury he was not picked last night.
We reverted to type and we're slow across the park and reverted to turning back inside only to plod into an easy tackle
Absolute criminal selection last night in my opinion and might now have cost us our SL status.
That hill has become a whole lot steeper and put Cas back in the driving seat.

Have always said Lino wasn’t up to the job , sadly we’ve persevered with him and here we are

Re: Will Dagger : Sat Aug 19, 2023 10:28 am  

People again having a 'go' at Lino. Has it escaped their notice the lovely passes from him leading to our two tries . I thought the most ineffective half was Gale.

what does the guy have to do?

Re: Will Dagger : Sat Aug 19, 2023 5:04 pm  

Agree that Dagger is needed on the field if only for his accuracy in the kicking department , too much of a maverick to be left kicking his heels on the sideline when it’s clear for all to see we have been woefully poor in the attacking department bar a few good games ,and revert back to one up rugby more often than not .

Three tries and no conversions. Had we been 12-6 up or 18-22 down the game would always be a contest. At 8-6 up we had a very slender lead and at 12-22 down we had too much to do.

I was sickened when I saw that Dagger wasn't even on the subs bench. We knew how well the Gale/Dagger combination worked from the Wigan game, so I thought that he would be available come the second half if we could see that the Gale/Lino pairing wasn't working. Dagger MUST be in the first thirteen for ALL the remaiing games.

Thought it was Kay Dagger combination against Wigan .thanks for putting me right

Re: Will Dagger : Sat Aug 19, 2023 8:03 pm  

yes, you're correct mate. it was Kay. My mistake. Luke Gale was still off injured.

Re: Will Dagger : Sat Aug 19, 2023 8:43 pm  

No prob Redscat, The main concern for me is ,that was the best performance from a half back pairing this season .Both these players are utility players ,And think it's sums up how poor are half back combination have been so season
