Not a bad side out on Saturday but same old story again - lack of backs meant we found it very difficult to contain Burley. Again had 3 forwards in the backs for much of the game. They did as well as forwards can ever do in the backs but that made our pack less mobile and meant they were not really on the place in the pitch they could do the most damage.
Think it was actually closer for most of the game than the scoreline suggests. At 24-12 just after halftime and with us applying some pressure I thought we would push you close but not to be. Floodgates opened in a couple of places and Burley deserved it.
Our report I think is fairly accurate

Got to say that I think we have the forwards to compete with virtually every team in the league but need some more backs in to add some depth, allow people to play in their natural positions and give some options to change a game plan where we need to. Plans afoot but ...
Was there RBJ. Unfortunately I was under orders from the wife, mother and mother in law that I was not to ruin their plans for a Mothers' Day meal on Saturday night by being home later than 5 so had to rush off.
Besides, it's no fun if everyone knows who I am
