personally wouldnt play mariano..very poor second half v wire and too many mistakes and missed tackles.

Was one of our better players sunday...were you actually present?

Agar pointed out that he played well in the first 40 minutes.



What about the others????????

Agreed. Could have put mathers under the sticks but gave a crap pass and was at fault for a couple of tries after that.

I thought he was one of our better players also.

don't think Mariano got subbed at all, which may explain some late mistakes. Wheareas other forwards were going off every ten minutes.

Mariano was one of our better players him and kirmond on saturday 2nd row. Big ali off the bench. Southern at loose forward Washbrook been shocking last 5 wk doesnt do a thing drop him and trout.

lol you really are clueless. There's loads of players i would drop before Washbrook

You were doing OK until the last bit. I don't agree about Washbrook, but fair enough if you see it that way.



However the Southern bit is utterly random even for you.



1: He can't last 20 mins let alone 80 minutes which is a must IMHO.



2: He's been very poor of late, IMO much poorer than Washbrook.



2: He's not a LF as far as I know and has done nothing to suggest he's worth a punt in such a pivotal position.



If your going to drop Washbrook replace him with Anakin - there are British players at the club and being an Aussie doesn't make you automatically good or worth a place - you do know that?



For me the problem doesn't lay with the British players - it lays with the overseas players - not one (with the exceptionof Aiton) is firing at the moment NOT ONE which is an utter disgrace. If Agar had the balls he'd drop em all and go all British.

It's raw and lacking experience but I reckon you'd end up enyoying supporting them a lost more win or lose.

I agree with your pack selection but disagree with dropping Washbrook. Move him to stand off for John. Nothing to debate really we all know the teams going to be the same old. Lautiti should be on the bench as the 4th prop but I bet he uses Southern as the 4th prop. Anyone know what’s up with Johnson? Surely he's not been dropped with we are so light with props?

Johnsos got ragged about badly last week, not sure his minds in the right place at the moment.

and he's a midget
