Weird comment to make about a guy who put in the best counter
ruck of the night. He was clearly up for it.
On Northmore - there's a good player in there, he's just really
callow and having to defend in the most difficult position.
Ideally we'd be able to give him another year of developing in
his own time.

Totally agree.
I was not surprised by the defeat or even by the result, this is
the team we have and I believe that it cannot offer much more,
at least with first tier teams.
If Smith every time he has the ball kick far in the nothing at
40 meters, I think it is an order of play given by Gustard ditto
for Care, I don't believe they take and we do everything on
their own. Among other things, I did not understand why Smith is
always at least 10 meters away from the ruck when he receives
the ball. We practically never attack.
There would be many things to write but the things to say are
always the same, we always rely on individual the play and then
hopefully something will happen.
Gustard is certainly confused, but It's not the only problem. It
takes at least 5/6 players of a good level, otherwise we are
always at the same point.
I'm sorry for Brown, but after the injury he's not what he used
to be.
Earle is absent too many times, but like him many other players.
We have the most terrible maul defence I have ever seen.
I find strange to have 5 scrum half, and 5 for the back row.
I hope that against the Saints we can see something better, and
begin to understand where to start to build a decent team at
least.I've read that some people think we can finish in the top
4 .... judging from a match just maybe it's too early, but I see
it as very unlikely.
In Europe I hope to be wrong, but I was predicting heavy
defeats.
Robshaw misses a lot both as a player and as a leadership.
