Not watched the highlights but I think Shorrocks charged down a kick late on and collected the rebound to set us up so not calling the lad but hooker is now probably the key position for the best teams. You can’t have a make do player at hooker it just doesn’t work. I think the call was Shorrocks or O’Neil for the bench and Peet got it wrong. With Catalan on the horizon I’d find it difficult to believe that the plan was to play Powell for the 80 against a very average Toulouse outfit.
After last year if someone said we’d be 4 from 4 I’d have snatched their hands off so trying not to be hyper critical but defensively we don’t look great at times which is a bit of a surprise. I think Field is covering a few cracks which to be fair isn’t surprising because last year we were truly awful so we are improving but still very much work in progress.
The positive was we kept on trying to play rugby and to be fair when we got the chances late on we took them so fair do’s but Saints will put at least 50 on Toulouse unless they play a raft of youngsters Maybe at 10 nil I got complacent along with the players so hopefully lessons learned all round
There was definitely a "Sheffield in the CC final" feel to it. The early tries probably contributed to it too as it all seemed too easy. Unfortunately, once you take your foot off the gas, it's often difficult to get motoring again (somewhat laboured vehicular analogy there but you get the point! Haha).
As you say, it's still a work in progress and the odd stutter here and there is to be expected. It's how we're going come September that really matters. The fact that we took 2 ponts away from a below par performance is a bonus.
