TBF on both Williams lads they have both just turned 18/19 (I believe), and I don't think they have been loaned to championship clubs yet ala Pohe, Catchpole and Purdy, so this game would have been up a level fromwhat they have played before.jgriffin wrote:1 Rhys Williams, David Williams, the locks,Crane, Gibson and Javier Pohe did not impress me. Sio, Bai and Croftie did! What was the matter with Gibson, he looked either out of sorts, unconcerned or way off fitness.
Gibson maybe rust? considering how well he played all last season, that's a shame we will get more of a idea later on.
Pohe from the sounds of it wasn't looking for ay work shame and with players like Catchpole and Hepetema around his age and can play 12 he will need to buck up, as if that's the case he could be really down the pecking order.
Crane will always divide view imo he works best when it's a full first team (like end of last season)where he focuses on his job and provides nice snipes and offloads, unfortunately when it is a weaker squad he tends to try and take it on himself and goes down.
The locks don't know what to say imo Wells is more of a Mafi 6/Lock, Had Price looked like he put on some mass yet?
Great to hear Bai and Sio look good, sounds like Bai may well be a inspired signing esp when the internationals are gone. And with Sio we seem to have a huge amount of talented young props.
How was Croft's work rate, is he looking fresher than ever, if so brilliant news he has that X factor the pack missed last season imo.
