Poor 1st half.
Much improved 2nd.

Though Ellis was more at fault from where I was stood he appeared to back off leaving bigger gap but overall good performance from all 17

Played much better. Can't moan at that performance at all. Yeh not his best but much improved.

Better in attack than defence but better than the back end of last season and start of this

For someone 6'5" and 115kgs his tackling technique is woeful. I use technique in its broadest terms.

I was thoroughly angry with him with the first half showing to be honest.

2nd half better.

I'd cash in on him tbh.

Should have been dragged from the field in first half, absolute rubbish and looked like he didnt give a t055. Better in 2nd half, but nowhere near how he can play

This way too flat footed in d for me and doesn’t get stuck in better in second half but first try he was just swatting at ball and same for a few other times. Foster would get shirt for me and green at prop see if that spark the England wonder boy

If he was a Cas lad people would be kissing his a*se. Give him a break! Because he is big, handsome and Southern he gets slated, lets get Jon Davies back. Looked good second half and will come good.

Did better in the 2nd half but was shocking in the first. Won't bend his back for a tackle as was constantly moving him self too far out on the edge so he didn't have to take the ball in.

Thought McMeekan & Moors played really well today, not sure what people are questioning about McMeekan's performance today, missed one tackle but ran onto the ball well on good lines.

Missed quit a few tackles and grabs roo much for me. I thought his performance was 'average' which is an improvement. Just needs to get involved more cos when he does he's dangerous. It's OK running lines but sometimes needs to do the hard yards!but signs of improvement, same with moors

I don't know if it was the half-time talk or getting a lift in his own confidence from the improved performance from his team mates but Meeks' whole game changed half way through. Like the team he now has something to build on for the rest of the season.
