Ever thought his broken face may have something to do with him not smashing it up all the time?
Yes he usually scoots more and yes we could of done with it. But there was nobody else to play hooker and Roby has a smashed up face. Cut him some slack, it was a miracle he even put a kit on. |

Theres a time to scoot and thats when either the markers are not set or the defence is on the backfoot,that didnt happen tonight as the forwards couldnt get a quick play of the ball,couple that with his face and its not really a surprise he didnt scoot a lot.Diskin on the otherhand took advantage of our switching off at marker and made the most of it.

It shouldn't have. The doc said it would take the same kind of impact to damage it further.
I don't cut him slack because if he is passed fit to play then he should play, same as everyone else. All the lads who backed up played out of their skins, especially Wilkin who was our best player by a mile. |

Think you need to give Roby some slack, maybe he wanted or was instructed to avoid too much physical stuff due to the facial injury. Hopefully it will be business as usual this Friday now he has 5 more days for the fracture to heal. |

If that was the case, he shouldn't have been on the field. |

Don't know what game you was watching but Roby took in as much ball as anyone. |

I haven't said anything about him taking in the ball. I wasn't doubting his work rate. I never would do that as he always puts in 100%. It was what he did with the ball, that is what I was questioning. He didn't take it forward, he passed it out every time. Just as he ran on the blind side of the scrum every time. Predicable or what? But, he assisted in two tries and his kick down field was superb. However, like everyone else, he can't always play to the top of his game and I just happen to think that today was one of those games for him.
Jon Wilkin, however, was outstanding. |

Lomax was quite quiet IMO tonight apart from when he nearly scored, Wellens had a moment or two but was then stable. Foster and Makinson were much the same as Wellens.
Gaskell stood out for me in the backs tonight, after the swinging arm he copped on the Lynch try i dont know how he didnt have a loose jaw.

The pass from Roby to makinson for the try was classic Roby.To doubt him tonight would be foolish.If he hadnt played we would have lost,simple.
