I am really bemused to see many people having a right pop after one pre season match that did no go the way they wanted....................



Get used to it Rome was not built in a day and we are in for a long hard season

Apart from increasing our offloading game 500% he's made no changes.........

Only Tim Roby.

Alain de Botton.

Agree with all that. I hope he proves me wrong but I was surprised when the club announced a two year deal. I know it was only the first competitive game in pre-season but I got the groundhog day feeling from Horney on Sunday. That said, the kicking ability to find one of three men in around 2 acres of grass 9 times from 10 is some feat of consistency !!

I'd add Houghton to that , thought his first 15 minutes were as good as i've seen from him. He'd really sharpened up his distribution from acting half , much faster and more accurate. Martin will do a good job as well.



The biggest negative despite O'Carroll's excellent performance was the inability - again - of our pack to dominate a mixed Rovers 6 where you'd have thought we should on paper at least hold the upper hand. The sum of the parts of our pack just doesn't ever seem to add up to a dominating performance. As a consequence Dobson had all of the time in the world to do whatever he wanted as usual whilst we were hurrying last tackle plays and kicks.

TBH I thought we closed down Dobson more than we have in recent times, Seymour seemed to pick him out a couple of times. I think we were undone more by offloads by Paea and the defence being too tired (from the 1st half efforts) to back up for second phase defence.
