i'd agree with most of that mate but i would add, against chase and the game finishing the way it did with the scores so tight. the lad didn't do such a bad job and will only get better.. imo a couple of seasons he will be one of the best in the country.

Without wishing to criticise Hyde I think that statement is rather OTT.



People got carried away in their praise of him after the first Cas match and now some people are going over the top in their criticism of him after yesterday. Irrespective of whether he will become a very good player I think the problem with him being our first choice stand off is we also don't have proper scrum half to pair him with. We are thus left with a half back pairing who are unable to effectively move us around the park. That said, our running off the ball and attacking lines often give them absolutely nothing to work with and this makes their job much harder anyway.

There is no way Hyde will ever be one of the best stand offs in the country. He may improve yes but he ain't ever going to be that good. I think he'd be better moving back to fullback and playing a kind of Luke Dorn role.

get behind hyde and support him in which position he wants play in - full back or stand off

same goes for any other player

Agreed, get behind the team.

Including Jeremy Smith? (Who incidentally was in the new Sainsbury’s last night with Hendo waiting for a pizza to be made up from the deli)

if he wants to play for the club and not just a pay check then yes

I would have thought he needs to earn a living doing presumably what he does best playing rugby, so I suppose he does want to play for us.

You really do rub shoulders with the elite
