Quote: paulwalker71 "At least Hargreaves put a bit of effort in this week, at least by comparison with his recent performances. He still needs to be more aggressive in attack for me, but I thought he put plenty into his defensive stint
As others have said, Scruton is doing nothing at the moment - laboured in attack, hiding in defence. Burgess needs to learn ball retention, and Joseph looked out of his depth, frankly
The other forward who needs to sort himself out is Whitehead. He was anonymous today in both attack and defence'"
Agreed on all fronts. We can check the stats when they get done. But for me.
Koppy is probably our best all round prop currently (top metre maker?), good work rate/metres per carry, so great going forward and very solid defensively.
Hargreaves absolutely solid defensively. One the least missed tackles in the team even tho he's towards the top end of the tackle count, and with hardly any errors (0 in 3 games?). Could do with alittle more agression in attack/ another metre per carry.
Scruton. Needs to up his game massively on all fronts.
Burgess. Absolute wrecking ball when he keeps hold of it!! But alot to learn, he's still very young. Too many unforced errors at present, poor defensively with too many missed tackles, appears not fit enough (but is that a trade off for so much power/impact in attack though? He's a completely different type of prop to Hagreaves for example and used more in a 15 min impact role)
Jospeh. Indeed looked out of his depth yesterday. And when I saw him in the bar after....possibly one of the smallest super league props going?
Whitehead indeed went missing yesterday. But generally plays well.
