For mine I thought they played well but seemed to play with more intensity in the trial game? Lots of improvement ie Setpiece from last week, but there were a lot of missed tackles especially on the wings, Force seemed to allow the Brums a lot of space when they were on the attack. I also reckon there was a bit too much faffin around with inside passes back and forth when direct running as we saw with Cubelli’s try & from then on was better. Wish they’d played like that in the rest of the game. Still think we’re lacking a bit of grunt at the breakdown, but the forwards worked their arses off. Tim & coaches must be despairing of the work to do and we’re all disappointed, but its only game one and a long road ahead. They’ll only get better, and has been said our team is back playing!
