Things will turn around next season.
I mean, let's remember Quins and Saints looked like Dog Sh*t last season/2 seasons ago as did Leicester and they bounced back. We need some stability in players and stability in coaching staff and that is what Blackett is doing now, remember i'd still count this a very much Dai Young squad rather than Blackett.
Didn't help us that Gaskell, Cardall, McIntyre, Oghre all gave away stupid penalties which led to points or squandered good try opportunities close to the line. Thought Rowlands was a little harsh and defo think Green should have been carded with Penalty try against Bassett.
Blackett made his first major mid game mistake in my opinion yesterday. In regards to the second pivot (Millet @15), we looked strong and confident moving in the backs as we had a second point to play off and a confident player at 15. Once he went off injured/taken off, we brought Atkinson on, which should have resulted in him moving to 10 and Umaga to 15. That didn't happen and we looked flat and it looked like Atkinson wasn't entirely confident on positioning but also stepping into playing in the 10 position whilst covering 15.
