Adamson, be it coaching or the players style, is at a crossroad. No doubt he will give 100% and i agree he is fine in defence but needs to improve his attack. It is the latter that hasn`t progressed and i`m sure we all want it to, time will tell. But this year is a big year for him.
The player (apart from the new front row lad, Feka something) that has impressed me in pre season is Anderson whol has looked like the palyer we thought we had last year.
McPherson seems to have niggly injuires which has limited his impact, though what i saw i liked.
Going into the season 2nd row for me (FWIW) would be Adamson & Anderson, with a soone to be McPherson knocking on the door.

Still concerned with Gleeson and the right sided defence which looked weak, not just his problem I know as I would expect both the 2nd row man and LF to be covering.

Interesting start to the season and if Cas are missing 4 Front Row Men then we need to go at them hard and often up the middle to bild that platform for Reg & Smith to exploit.

Roll on Saturday ! We can comiserate on Monday as we always do

Can't argue with most of that

Wouldnt be too downhearted, the conditions made the game 1 dimensional. Ultimately we had a better kicking game and forwards made more yards. Really hard to judge too much. I said at half time that it was a game that could go either way but couldnt get too annoyed if we lost, dont think you lot should either. Matty Smith looked better then he did last year, as did feka. Who got the ball in the face? Ouch on a night like tonight.

Think it was Howarth. Definitely a nasty one, ball always seems to feel like it weighs ten times more when it hits you in this sort of weather. His legs were wobbling like jelly when he came off, don't think he knew where he was.

not a surprise, because it wasnt a chip, it was a full on punt aiming to make 40 metres!!
