It's not a bloody day nursery he either takes his chance or loses out. can't say fairer than that.


As long as he gets a fair crack of the whip, there'll be no complaints from me.

I didn't spot any change in tactics re Westerman. We didn't cope with the rush defence and our props weren't strong enough to put that defence under pressure.

Exactly how I saw it too. They knew if you get on top in the props and subsequently rush Westerman you can shut us down. They did it very well.

that's how good our halfs must be if westside is the only threat they had to worry about.

What we should have done is started using the short inside ball off the first receiver with plenty of support through the middle and gone inside their umbrella/rush. We need guys to play what's in front of them rather than stick to rigid plans that aren't working. I include the halves in that but also Houghton. A good playmaker and leader who can make those changes on the run would be more than welcome.

What do you want our halves to do without the ball?

It didn’t help Miller last season, playing alongside Holdsworth. He wasn’t given the best of opportunities during the preseason games. He has had 3 ‘decent’ games and 1 very poor game so far this season.

If an elusive experienced quality 7 became available, then sure we ought to go for him, but in the meantime we may have to keep our hopes in Miller for the short and medium term, and try to get the best out of him.

Trust me I hope he kills it in SL but I am not tied into any players at all and will call every game as I see it. If Miller makes it I'll be chuffed to bits but he is now playing first grade and it is these games - not some games sometime in the future - that will determine his fate. It seems pretty straightforward to me.

What were the posession stats last night? Did we have significantly less ball?

Agreed. We don't have the luxury of giving well paid players a season or two in the first team to see if they are any good. We won't go down this year but finishing outside the 8 next year would be a disaster
