Would suggest we didn't quite get the balance of the squad right.  Not much cover or competition for places in the backs.


Just watched the "highlights" Kieran Gill had a game to forget.   Powder puff defence for one of the York tries and for the other seemed to be stood ball watching in no mans land.    Also the try right up the middle where we had no markers was bad.  Waine and Michael well out of position and Souter left on the floor.   The others you have to credit York's support play.


For us the Okunbor try reminded me what a good game he had.  Safe as houses under the kicks, did a ton of work taking the ball up and glided in for a nice try off a good kick.  

It was a real missed opportunity, we won’t ever have a better chance to appear at Wembley. 
Gill had poor efforts two of Yorks tries but he wasn’t on his own. 
Don’t want to single people out but Meadows usually defends inside Gill and that avenue has been a weak link all season.
Harris try was poor all round, we lost the collision, the opposition get a quick PTB your defence is not set and the rest is history. 
Hallas gets some stick, usually at 9 and I much prefer Souter there but Hallas has a bit of “mongrel” in him, a compliment not a slur. 
When we’re down on blockbusting props I think that’s why Nobby puts him in. 
With players to come back in,  the end of the season the team may have a different look to it

Agree about Hallas. I'm not his biggest fan, but I feel if it had been him who interchanged with Donno, our defence wouldn't have parted as easily as it did do. 

Ott needs to be the interchange hooker with Souter. As Bullseye said, in our period of dominance we weren't clinical enough.  

Yes I agree Ott has a very calm head on him in the heat of battle.
