MCB will never have that bad a game again, his defence wasn’t to bad but he bombed three tries. Randall got a hatrick, MCB got an anti hatrick. If it weren’t for the fact that we know he’s usually a top class finisher that could have been a Kyle Bibb career ending display.

He will bounce back.

Chester says Tupou only came off because he was blowing.

Just imagine how the lad would have felt if the result had depended on that last try that he fluffed. It would have been Grix against Saints all over again.

Said exactly the same at the match, as I say in some games that could of ended the lads career. You have to feel for the lad, the ball just would not stick.

MCB was good under the high ball when it mattered, on any other day would have scored 3 try's ,.First time we have had a just about a full team out for weeks and it showed think we have got a few more wins in us

He was at least there in support despite bombing two other opportunities which says a lot about his desire.

I don’t doubt it, the ball just wouldn’t stick. I think it was three by the way, one in the first half two in the second.

He’ll recover I’m sure, ho looked gutted at the end.

You have to be there to drop them and he was just wasn’t his night, he’s trying his nuts off though and hopefully it will turn his way next week

MCB will come back better yes couple in 2nd half but game was over the one in first half was a difficult pick up as its not easy to pick ball of floor while running at full pelt.
Tyler will get plaudits but i felt everyone of forwards did well tonight

Good overall performance. Still too many errors. But miles better than recent. Mcb had a stinker tho tbh.

Mcb yes omg big time

Agreed but is it just me or is there something odd about England’s running style. Sure he didn’t used to run like that, nowhere near as direct as he used to be.

Forwards were good tonight some big hits and strong running.What was good when Fifita was not on the park the intensity was still there

Thought the forwards were awesome. The thing with Dave coming on, it caused Shudds to change their defensive line to keep an eye on him, which then resulted in Jordy's try in the 2nd half.
Good to see PP play the full 80 again and get used in the way that he can be a handful for any team.
Loved BJB's ball steal following a kick in their 20


He should have scored really!
Up the Trin.

He should have past imo.

Randell clearly MOM with Jordy a close second and Pauli third for me...Had to feel for MCB, especially with the last drop, but the one before, from Tupou's pass, was up around his ear, so I think it harsh to blame him for that one.
Going back to Jordy, I think that was his best game for us yet and was that his first try for us ever, or just this season ??

2nd, first this season. The last one was also against Shudds, 2015

Hope it’s not as long waiting for the next one

If I remember right it was in a very similar position? Really pleased for ‘one of our own’ has a very good game!

Great all round performance forwards got on top , Randall best game since he arrived not just the tries but amazing work rate , tupou return made such a difference, crowther defensively excellent , pack got on top miller best game season to date , Hampshire really buzzing, lynne carried ball with real intent , forwards generally out played there opposite numbers. Sadly mcb had a total mare, it’s his major fault very rarely catches the 50-50 ball and that last pass was a walk in, not much point in being in support of you can’t catch the ball personally would drop him for kershaw, hopefully kirmond or ashurst will be fit to bolster squad next week - travelling to Perpignan with a much lighter step

I wouldn't be looking at playing Kirmond again to be honest but especially in the heat of southern France. How good was it last night to have a full rotation of subs available right up until the death. Last thing we need is being a player down from Kirmonds 1st collision.

I had always thought his first SL try was at home against either Warrington or Wigan.

Chased a grubber kick down, believe it or not, beat our own Kyle Wood to it.

Coming out of ground we were saying who would be slating CMB lay of he did a lot of good things still the best we got as Johnston stand in

I think most were slating the performance not the player, there is a difference imho.
