| Considering the upheaval, the lack of a first choice scrum half it's been an excellent start. With the exception of the first 20 mins against Sts the pack has performed much better than I thought it would and the metres stat is fantastic. I'm more concerned with the missed tackle stats than the errors one. The errors stat can often reflect the team daring to play and some of the tries we've scored have involved high risk interplay which has been excellent. Sammut will always have a high error rate but he brings such a cutting edge that he's worth it.

Still at least FC does not have to worry about having the squad depleted by international calls and players picking up bad habits from the England coach
Bateman has been invited to train with the Elite squad
Where are we in the "offloads" league, we must be top in that too!!

| If you don't try anything you won't make many errors - nor will you win much.

| Let's not forget Sammut has also bombed two certain tries by dropping the ball over the line!
Matty Blythe's stats are also looking very impressive at the minute - wish we had that guy permanently and not just on loan, he's been great so far.

| So far so good. It's been a very promising start to the season and the attack has certainly improved, despite not having Luke Gale fit.

| So far so good but still lots of room for improvement. Watching Widnes vs Hull I was wondering how we managed to lose to Hull given their lack of playmaking options.
Seems so much depends on how you start the game nowadays. It's no surprise that in the two games we lost we made very slow starts. Once that happens you can be on the back foot and let the opposition get an unassailable lead.
If we can sort out the slow starts we give ourselves a much better chance.
As for the creativity this comes off the back of go forward. It's easier to create when you're on the front foot. Good to see that Sammut and Kearney are in the lead in the attacking stats. It's something we've not been in for some years.
Sammut reminds me of watching Dave Watson, unpredictable, sometimes amazing, deceptively strong, sometimes infuriating. He's got an X factor.

| We've made the most attacking kicks, kicks in general play, metres and offloads.

I believe Holdsworth played against us, but wasn't playing against Widnes on Saturday night. Perhaps that explains their lack of playmaking options at the moment.

| I remember Hull's pack, particularly O'Meley being a real handful.
John Holdsworth could've created havoc behind that pack on that night never mind Daniel Holdsworth.
Think we lost that game up the middle early on. We cam back into it later and showed great fighting spirit but it was too late to affect the end result.

2=. Elliott Whitehead, 19.

Next Bull is Jarrod Sammut, 12.

Injuries will dictate our fate off the field, this stat will dictate it on it.

| Missed tackles has long been a weakness of Whitehead. He's does 80mins every week so he will be bound to have higher totals than most simply by making more attempts but he does need to tighten up this area of his game if he wants to be anything more than an average SL player.

| The lesser ginner Farrell has made >180 tackles without a miss this season apparently. Whithead is missing something like 1 in 8 or 9, which is very high, irrespective of time on the pitch.

| I'm not surprised. He does seem to miss a fair few. He needs to improve this part of his game.
