Quote: The optimist "We will need to use him by not using him at times like wigan use to do so the oppositon defence has to bunch up this will leave big big gaps on the edges if we get the ball there quick enough.
For me there isnt much point giving him the ball from a one out pass, our attacking shape wasnt deep enough and he got swalloed up too easy, i was hoping with Alker not at the ruck this may have changed but not looking like it has at the moment, still there is still time to get a grip on it.
He'll have to come from deep and its going to have to be a bit cleaver round the ruck to make sure he isnt running into brick walls all the time, He's like a BMW Baynes in Many ways we are just going to have to learn how to use him correctly.'"
Just to add to that, we were against what is perhaps the fastest line speed defence in British RL. Of course, we could help ourselves by adding a little bit of depth when running up but I doubt we'll face a defence as solid and quick as Wigan's again this year. (Other than when we play Wigan of course.)
