In fairness halfbacks are usually always outshone playing behind a well beaten pack. Our forwards were very poor today right from the off. I just can't understand this new bunch, every time you think they have turned the corner they put in a really disappointing display.
Where are we going as a team? I'm not sure and the jury is still out on the head coaching capabilities of Harris for me. Perhaps he needs more time? I'm prepared to give him 6 games from the start of next year at most. Although knowing the Doc he will probably be gone by Tuesday.
I think the silence so far on this forum after such a disappointing result speaks volumes!!
In fairness it was quite an even opening but 3 pieces of class from Tim Smith led to 3 tries which we never looked back from...
A great short ball to Washbrook to put him through who in turn fed Raleigh who finished off for the opening try....a sublime kick (on the 2nd tackle) which put Washbrook over....and then a superb reverse pass which sent Scott Anderson racing through which then led to the field position for Chris Riley to finish from a great kick from McShane......the kick out on the full apart....Smith was superb....totally run the show while Godinet just sneaked M.O.M with his own excellent performance.....hard to believe it's the first time they've played together in the halves!
Don't know what it was with Smith and you guys? Maybe Chase was the problem?
The reason I say that is Smith has played with 3 different partners already for us and has been his excellent self in the majority of games he's played....
Really tough one to understand? All the best though for the rest of the season and next....I've a feeling you will do a bit better next term as your signings definitely look better!
