Was at the game and while disapointed i saw it coming. Always a danger when you play a team quicker then yours cause if you are not switched on and willing to work hard even a lesser side will cut you up. Remember the years under ratten one thing we had was pace and we knocked over many teams we shouldn't have by cutting them open if they were a little off.
Same happened yesterday.
Stevens and co were not checked anywhere near enough and they destroyed us as a result. Curnow/Cripps/Gibbs all wrong choices for Stevens. Had to go left field and try Armfield or even one of the Irish boys.
Bad coaching if we wanted to win but I'm confident Bolts would have made the switch but making a move to lesson his effort would have given the mids an out which maybe he didn't want to do.
The mids were not only outpaced but out worked on the spread. We underestimated what damage they could do if we didn't close them down. Hopefully lesson is learnt.
Time to bring some more kids in. I hear we had the 3rd oldest list this weekend. Time to get some games into more players that will be part of our future.
