Every chance Nicho is still out next week. I don't see Moylan getting dropped after one round, but if Tricky keeps chalking up better performances he will become hard to ignore.

Not angry just disappointed. Bit angry.

Bloke is fit but needs Nicho. His experience doesnt count for enough his 7 was so much better than him.

His defense left him. Only a couple good
things with the ball.

Not the player for big moments sadly. Already on my **** list but will carve up the pleb sides for the most part.
Still points we need but big games is where we struggle when opposition is physical and frantic

This.

Fitz was cagey in the presser when pressed about Nicho‘s return I thought.

I don’t see Nicho playing next week and likely to possibly miss a few more unfortunately.

Trindall will have a few weeks and then it’s a call of dropping Moylan for Tracey (yuck) or give Atkinson a stint (also not ideal)

If they drop Moylan, surely you run Trindal along side Hynes?

Very disappointed in Moylan last night , some of his errors were rookie like , and should be stepping up and taking more control .

He is what he is... As is Trindall.
Moylan and Nicho are a great combo. Have either out and the other would struggle with the replacement. Trindall is neither of those players.

My biggest concern is the defence. That whole edge was not up to scratch. We got badly found out by South's, especially (and admittedly excellent) Koloamatangi

Set up Teigs try but had 4 go through his corridor. 2 missed tackles leading to two tries, came in on another which led to grahams try and complete miscommunication between him and and talakai for the fourth. Great tactics by the bunnies. Exposed a gaping vulnerability in our line defence.

2nd most missed tackles in the entire competition last year defending next to a backrower in the centres that can’t defend 1 on 1.

Not ripping on either player, buts it’s not clever.

Nicho was on field pregame with no strapping etc so hopefully not too far away.

I can't believe we let Johnny Moris go and kept Fitz ;)

But in all seriousness Morris does have the inside knowledge to REALLY pick our team apart

Where do you get that from? 1 on 1 he is fairly reliable if players either side do their job...

He has been decent for one year in like 4.

Will be happy for some form of progression in the 6.

If that means taking a risk in trindall would rather try that then roll through another season of average kicking, busted body that can’t even run at full pace and given best case scenario the very end of his career just around the corner.

Trindall has shown he is likely better right now and still with significant room for improvement.

Nothing will be happening surely until nicho is back but really hoping we will see a fresh pairing sooner then later….

Exactly. Trindall and Hynes halves pairing just makes sense. And offers a hell of a lot more than Moylan. The bloke can’t ****ing run, he can’t kick and his defence is dogshit. How he got a 2 year deal is laughable.
