Add it to his performances against Toulouse and Tigers. He's still an absolutely class act.

I can't help but feel after today that Gopperth has signed as second choice 10 behind Pollard. Freddie was better than Hegarty today but still so inconsistent. Gopperth is still the best 10 of the three.

Never mind Sarries get the LBP

Not popular but Wells and Green not good enough together

Have to agree (although my Mrs will disagree as she's a paid up member of the Burns fan club)

Gopparth would have been in Socino's seat on the bench today, at least he would have actually gotten out of it to replace Freddie

That's where I see Gopperth coming in - replacing Socinio in the squad, albeit on more money I'd expect. Socinio is one of the ones I expect to move on at the end of the season.

Leatigaga certainly looked a bit off the pace today (don'tknow if he's just rusty at TH), think if he gets an offer from France I wouldn't be overly concerned with him going.

With how Whitcombe is coming on if we could entice De Bruin back he's a step up on Leatigaga and he and Whitcombe could be our starting 1 next season with De Bruin also covering Cole and Heyes...

Looks tidy but another young lad, behind Whitcombe in terms of development
