Hasings and partington were both very good and unlucky not to get in my3...... if we had started with smith at 7(alongwith a decent ref)i think we would have won very comfortably....... tommys kicking was atrocious and smith made the best infield kick within 30 secs of his introduction....... i rate tommy( but not as a half)......he missed 3 bad tackles that i noticed...... smith gets his critics from missing tackles but so does tommy, which is confusing

Just watched the highlights. Good offloading of the ball. Well finished try from manfredi, looks to have lost abit of pace looked abit limp at times. French looking dangerous as usual

I’d agree with you,Hastings chatting away is a joy to behold,he just gets better and better.

Manfredi quiet for him but he needs games now

A lot of good players on the park today, and we looked like a team more than the previous 3 games.
There was a 10 minute spell in our opening game when we looked good, and it ended with Sam Powell being knocked out. He hasn't played till today, but his return seems unnoticed among previous comments, which I think is missing what a good player he is.
What a difference he made both to the central distribution to the halves, and also his play from dummy half, both attack and defence.
For me he's an unsung hero, working very hard and not always getting the recognition he deserves.
We were a dramatically better team with him playing today, and we looked rather wooden in the first game after he'd gone off, and in the next two. Might we have won at Cas had he been playing? We can only speculate.
But his work as hooker nullified a lot of what Hull tried to do.

So, for me, welcome back Sam, we've missed you.

I think we're improving week on week ,I thought we moved the ball around better and we're trying to get french more in the game .We we're doing it nicely till the interception but I was never worried about the result today. Goal line defense was good ,if we could stop the offload a bit more then great.
There's alot more to come from this team I reckon, and even a half fit manfredi is a better option than joe burgess at the moment.
Hastings m o m for me ,a real competitor leads by example and never stops organizing and talking.
