No matter what the situation with the interchanges, we should have brought on Obst immediately. Was this another incompetence from Agar, or was there another reason I don't know about?

would have liked to have seen what obst could have done when Lauaki found his long lost form and was making the ball available, to have some fast feet and good hands may have won the game for us.

I blame the ref

Obst must have been injured, no other reason?

Other than an Injury , I can't think of any other excuse to not have thrown him on.

That's what I thought, but no news on an injury??

We assumed an injury. Couldn't criticise Agar for much last night - by far the most enjoyable and encouraging attacking game I've seen at the KC for ages (disregarding Childs, of course) - but that was a howler of a decision not to put Obst on for the crucial last 15 mins without Long.

Still, he's getting better - only one baffling non-interchange last night.

I was saying that, without Long we lose what little spark we have! So it would seem common sense to bring Obst on to me
