Team is Up

I can’t believe MLB is our best 12 option, we really need to get this sorted for next season.

13 is also a problem Fekitoa needs to improve.

Will be at the game, just want our intensity to be for more than 20 minutes

To be fair Fekitoa looked up for it v Quins. Put a couple of big hits in and takes a lot of contact. People have mentioned his defence but v Quins I didn't see him miss many. I think he's improving and we need him to. Part of his problem stems from our issues at 12, 10 and 9.

Don't see what Robson is doing wrong you be honest. His kicks have mostly been spot on. And kicking is the right option when we're getting no penetration.

Apart from the kicks too long, the kicks on the full and the general slow play that removes any momentum we have..he's fine. Without considering his captains leadership.
Raggs he's playing like a championship player, fine if you want a kicker, but there is more to a 9 than a box kick.

Also watching him - he telegraphs what he is doing and slowly. Not at all like he was pre-injury.

I like Carr at 8, probably my first choice. With Young and Willis, looking strong in that area. Worry for me, again, is 12 and 13... and 9 and 10 to a lesser extent.

Tibo out for illness and Tim on bench.

A shame for Tibo, but I like Cardall so not a huge loss for the team.

I fear we are in for a long evening. Be happy with a LBP. Got to keep their ball carriers on the back foot and force them into mistakes. Hope our mobile backrow can make a nuisance of themselves round the pitch.

Tibo has the same flu that my family had over the last two weeks.
