If these rumours are true then at least Merrin is showing a bit of fight somewhere.
Sorry, easy target. He was pretty good the other night actually. In fact most of your pack were reasonable.
I'm sure I aren't telling you anything you don't already know but from what I have seen its the halves that are the main problem. We were sat in the south stand on Friday so we got a good close look at your attack when you were camped on our line for long periods. Neither Myler or Lolohea seemed to have the remotest idea of how to unlock a defence. There was a moment that summed it up where Lolohea had the ball late in the tackle count about 10 metres out. He caught it, stood still, looked left, looked right, and literally just handed it to a forward next to him who was immediately tackled. It was like in a kid's game where a kid throws the ball away because they don't want to be tackled. Also the amount of passes that went on the floor or into touch was terrible.
I don't know much about this lad McClelland but I can't see how he can be any worse than what I saw on Friday. You remind me of Catalans last year. There is quality in the team, but you need someone to direct them around. Drinkwater is a very average player, but he was the right sort of player to just provide a little direction to get a tune out of Catalans star players. If you can find your own Drinkwater then you probably aren't a bad side.
