We lack physical stature & a bit of quality but to lack heart was unacceptable. At least we found that today. Cas should've closed it out though, point given away for them. Blair at stand-off was the right call, doubt we'll see Marsh for a bit.

Apart from dropping a kick with no opposition player within 20 metres of him, resulting in a try, and throwing out terrible passes every time he joined in the line, he did just about ok. He wouldn't be in my top 10 today though!

Don't forget giving away a penalty on the 1st tackle whilst he was in possession and completely missing his only 1 on 1 tackle he was required to make.
Enthusiasm is the only thing Cockayne brings to the table and his deficiencies far outweigh this. He shouldn't be in our 17 unless there is no other option.

I think sio should be our full back,but chester appears to have changed his mind,if sio is fullback cockayne wouldn't be in the 17,dixon would be on the wing imo.

Wasn't it Ben who put Josh in for the last try? When he dropped that ball I said to my husband that will be the only thing certain people will remember about his game today.

Donno was MOTM by a country mile imho but i'd struggle to put 10 of the others above Ben if i'm honest.

Sio isn't a fullback

bens drop was bad but to give a penalty away while you have the ball is unfogivable and yes he did supply the last pass Trace, Green did one hell of a spell deserves credit for that. On a side note any news on our injuries from taday?

We don't have a fullback, we have 2 wingers in Sio and Dixon who have had a go at fullback and a utility player in Cockayne who's no longer very good in any position. The only other option is Shaw but Chester doesn't seem very confident about playing him.

It is. I originally used a slang term for testicles.

Ben played well for you unil his knock on. Sio was good too. Both teams have to improve to make the 8 for sure.
