Geez Will Smith’s DNA was on nearly every try.

I never want to see a spine of

1. Will Smith
6. David Gower
7. Mitch Moses
9. Reed Mahoney

ever again.

We got what we deserved.

Come June 30 when development players are allowed to play, I would be tempted to name the following 1-17 for the rest of the year.

1. Gutho (c)
2. Sivo
3. Parry
4. Salmon
5. Ferguson
6. Moses
7. Drown

8. Evans
9. Mahoney
10. Paulo
11. Lane
12. Niukore
13. Nrown

14. Alvaro
15. Kaufusi
16. Stefano
17. Terepo

It won't happen but would let the off-contract players know where they stand.
I like the look of this side but Jennings is a walk up start in any team we can field.

As an immediate “fix”, Tep and Smith definitely need to be dropped to Wenty.

EDITED DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND ALTHOUGH THIS DRASTICALLY WEAKENS OUR BENCH.

I don't think we did too badly.

* Lost fullback after 2 minutes;
* Thus forced to play stand-in fullback and third-string five-eighth;
* Horrible decision before halftime. Take that away and it's 38-22;
* Last Sharks try was due to our desperation leading to throwing the ball away.

Yes, we made poor 5th tackle options in the first half (especially). But even with that, if that first half ref blunder had not have occurred we would have been in with a shot while playing a back-up fullback and third string five-eighth.

It wasn't great but I don't think it's a wrist cutting exercise.

An ineffective kick is cause for wrist slitting around here. Calling for restraint after a loss is lunacy
