The rest of the team pretty much just stood around admiring what the two of them could do and wishing they could get close to matching it (they couldn't).
Similar to what Snekie says, I think Hignett pitched up, quickly realised we were shyte with a team full of shyte players (bar Jess) and decided to get the f'uck out of dodge sharpish.
We did make a tidy profit though for once so not all bad.
