Carlisle was playing his third game, so that is a bit of a stretch. It's only FB on a player that doesn't move around a lot.We also need to take into account that he played on Carlisle who was playing his second game and was coming back from Injury again for the year and was extremely underdone. Carlisle easily had his measure in the first half until he ran out of steam and also when the Saints buckled and we continued to get more drive I50. I’m hopeful , but sceptical at the same time as I still haven’t seen the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
I think Lynch has been essential this year. He gets his hand to so many high balls, and takes a lot of marks, (in comparison to what we are used to if you take Jack out). But he does do it in patches and has yet to dominate a whole game. Unfortunately Jack being injured means we rely on him so much. But Jack has had to do a power of work as the sole forward, so it might just lengthen his career not having to do it all by himself.
I don't expect any more than what he is delivering at the moment (ruck backup would have been nice), but hen no CHOL...
