<p></p>
<p>I see your point &amp; it is true our line defence was not tested today &amp; will be against Championship opposition.</p>
<p>However Connell has obvious talent &amp; if one player in an average side has good feet &amp; a side step with speed it can mean the difference between losing or winning in a few close games. He had 5 or 6 assists today &amp; scored 2 himself. Abdul although carrying timber is an asset with his long kicking game alone by keeping the opposition an extra 15 to 20 yards away from our line.</p>
<p>Next week's game will be a better indication of where we are up to.</p>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After reflecting on todays  game , good job we didn’t go with strongest side and gave some fringe players an opportunity.</p>
<p>you could say against amateurs who only train twice a week, but as has been said they are one of the strongest amateur teams around</p>
<p>but our performance was super - Connell outstanding and at the moment it’s his shirt to lose</p>
<p>mcwhirter proved why he should be in the starting team - 13 is his position </p>
<p>The props we played all made yards, Houghton could be very useful, we may have a great problem there, Murray deffo in, chapelhow was very good, houghton as previous comment and bibby to come ( sorry forgot about bent)</p>
<p>JA in the team for me every time , his drop out kicks relieved any pressure</p>
<p>hookers - obvious there </p>
<p>second row - now there is a dilemma, Wilde,langtree and Lawton in the frame </p>
<p>wingers, yes no probs till seargent gets fit</p>
<p>centres, edge for sure and Jack did a turn today </p>
<p>so with no injuries we may do ok </p>
<p>thoughts ?</p>]]></content:encoded>
