Quote Charlie Sheen="Charlie Sheen"Well thankfully that was Samoa and not Australia or New Zealand. The ball control, discipline, and line speed will need to improve next week. he pundits were praising the 2 hookers but I thought they were quite poor with their distribution, and they seemed to get bumped off in defence a lot. Hopefully we've got some of the mistakes, and rustiness out of the system and can improve next week because we're in trouble if we don't.
Individually all the props were good, and really carried well but, the back row was shocking overall. We really, really missed Flanders and Burgess.
The backs did OK given limited ball, both wingers returned well, and both centres defended very well I thought. Tomkins however looks like Richie Mathers defending kicks at times, and I'm not sure we can afford to carry on playing him there.'"
I heard the commentators say that Hodgson has gone to the NRL? I was baffled by that.
He was anonymous today and I've rarely noticed him in Super League. Solid grafter, but nothing special.
Clark had that one good run for the try and a shocking missed tackle for their try. He's still young though.
We miss Roby and McIlorum at Hooker. They dominate the rook area.
