That's not fair on -the ever hard-working- Tadulala imo.

Yes I agree he always works hard and is honest in his efforts and I really like the guy, he's a gentleman.
But he's neither a winger that has geat pace or guile to beat a defence on his own or altenatively the physical power to bash though them. He's a good finisher when set up. The same lack of attributes make him of limited value when spelling mid field forward runs.

I think his physical power is one of his major attributes, he could teach our props a thing or two as he never takes a backwards step

How did he get on? Anyone see?

He got sin-binned in the first ten minutes. I left at half time, he didn't get another touvh on the ball, buthe was switched Wings so that he could attempt to tackle Pryce who was on fire.

I'm liking the sound of him already.

He's a big unit. Imagine Jon Scales but bigger.

And hopefully better?

He didn't get much chance to show his stuff.

One thing that annoyed me about the reserves game was our unprofessional approach. Whoever coaches them needs a slap.

No way should we have players running onto the field just before kick off pulling there jerseys on in dribs and drabs. The 13 should be all on the pitch stripped and ready and concentrating. The slack approach cost us two early tries. While Wigan were obviously the better side they'd warmed up for longer and looked a far more professional outfit in their drills and looked up for it.

Are you sure you were watching the reserve game?

Scales wasn't small was he?

Stayed to watched the reserves to try and cheer myself up with the fact that the future is bright, unfortunately we got thrashed! Defence was a big problem with the reserves as well and Wigan made easy yards all match.

I thought Hyde played ok in attack in a beaten team but looked a little suspect in defence. He's probably not quite ready for SL on that showing at least. Rudd was big and powerful with quite a turn of pace for a big man, however his defence looked a little suspect. He was blowing a bit towards the end too so a bit of work there as well. But he looks like he could be a handful if those area's can be improved.
