After Friday’s total annihilation and humiliation, we’re looking at a series of games where we have no chance of winning any of them for the best part of two months, with one possible exception of the Dragons.
To that end, Booth has to learn what should have been obvious to him, ie limit the number of slow, static players in the run on team.
I‘d pick:
Nagy, Cuthbert, Collins, Watkin, Protheroe or Giles, Myler, RMW; Phillips, Parry, Francis, Beard, Davies R, Griffiths, Roots, Morgan
Thomas, Phillips, Botha, Davies B, Morris, Webb, Anscombe, Williams
Why? Get slow, static players like Nagy and Watkin back in their natural position, drop liabilities like Evans, have impact subs like Botha and Thomas actually be subs, have Webb on against tired defenders, have ball carrying from Garyn Phillips and have Kieran Williams and Morris on later for carries.
Hopefully we can reduce the margin of defeat and prevent what could become an incredible loss of confidence which ruins the season.
Well done boys, excellent! What a difference it makes having someone at 15 who can defend. Hopefully Nagy will be ok.
