That's not true at all. We could have played the defence that lined up in the second half on Tuesday, when we beat a premiership side and played superbly. I'm at a loss as to why we've done this.
Why have they been forced on us ? Julian grays on bench and so his kozluk. also Thompson should have been in.
Makes you wonder whether loan agreements are sealed on the understanding that the loanees will be first choice players (at least initially) or something along those lines. There's no point in clubs sending out players on loan just to do elsewhere what they could do at home. And apparently other clubs were sniffing around the ones we got.
