This lad will never be good enough. Constantly stopping tries, and taking high kicks, and making half breaks. When will the coaching staff realise he's a liability

He was very good. Lilley was excellent. And Lauititi was our best backrow.

Time to resurrect THAT thread

With a big pre season it looks like hardaker could start having a little competition next season

Nooooo you're not allowed to pull people up for talking sh 1te it's just an 'opinion'.

I thought Lilley was outstanding he really marshalled us around the field very well
Golding had a very good game too and stood up well defensively and under the high ball,That one one one try saver on our own line was outstanding

Really excellent performance from young Golding which showed his class on attack and defence. McGuire was outstanding as was young Lilley who deserves some time at half back next year. Moon showed what a good centre he is and the dummy half work was good and with Aiton type plays which rather indicates the coaching imput in this position all season.

And yet we were very weak defending the middle (against admittedly top-class players) and could have done with having a proper hooker in there...

Golding as the potential to have a very golden future. All the young players stood up to the plate

I feared for Golding tonight but the lad was class. Totally deserved his MOTM award.

Nah .. SL doesn't have two attacking hookers like the NZ two or speedy big blokes with good feet. We were still in the game until out of retirement and out of condition Morley dropped the ball. I would sooner play an extra forward in defence and rotate two attacking half backs to cover the attacking dummy half workload. The best form of defence is attack

Thought goldings defence in the first half was very suspect but turned it round big time in the second half. Looks very attack minded and has an eye for the gap. Also thought he took up some intelligent positions to support attacks.

His biggest problem is that the man of steel is in front of him and only a few years older. The coaching staff need a very good strategy to develop him and keep him tied to the club over the next few years.
