He went from defending as a middle making 30-40 tackles a game and often more, which was his biggest asset, to hardly making any and missing plenty. He will defend at a minimum of fourth in now depending on whether he plays 13, which can hardly be described as the edge. He'll be looking forward to it.

If you think that his defence hasn't gone down the pan since playing 7 and thus moving wider, then you just aren't watching. I just assumed he'd be better out there considering as mentioned he was making 40 plus tackles as a middle and capably so, but it's a tricky place to defend and some players can't adapt easily.

I know usually you'd put up some stats backing up your point with some patronising capital letters and bold underline, so please feel free as it's there to see in the numbers as well as watching from the stand.

He's going to throw the dictionary at you

Are people actually that concerned.

Not that worried to be honest.

I think we will be ok if keep key players fit but our edge defence worries me and I'm not sure us at our best beats Wigan and leeds that their best.

Leeds and Wigan won't be able to live with our pack with us at our best.

The only concern is the defence and error count. Stop gifting teams ball and making daft mistakes and we'll take an enormous amount of stopping.

I'm not sure we can handle leeds outside backs. Hardaker, Briscoe, moon, Watkins, hall etc will tear us apart again.

Our pack will compete but I don't think it's as good as people make out.

You mean like Wigan's outside backs tore us apart? According to the Wigan fans they've never had it this good in ages. [i"Best centre performance in ten years"![/i

EXPLAIN why Wigan couldn't break through our supposedly hopeless back division.

You really aren't very good at this.

We had a very poor start. Sometimes that happens. 3 unforced errors put Leeds on the front foot.

I don't think we were at the right intensity for this game. According to KC we did not train this week so that may explain why we were so poor controlling the ball. But having watched RL for years like most of us on here these things happen.

If we lose some more games in the next couple of weeks, then I'll worry.

But our run of losses is not horrendous.

I'm sure Wigan will be terrified of Burns running game, he must rival Wellens as the slowest back in Superleague.

I must be in a time warp here, I'm pretty sure we lost on good friday didnt we ?


I said, we can't live with the leeds backs mate and I even named them all just for you.
