On reflection, there’s an area of concern on the right and we need to find a way of finishing our sets higher up the pitch, because we can’t kick the ball well at all.

On the right, defensively they were poor. Couldn’t cope with either centre, again, but we really struggled with Tai on the wing. It looks like his instinct is to come inside and try and shut down the problem, but left himself exposed for their last try. Every time I watch Wrench it’s as if I’m watching a kid on debut, who has talent and enthusiasm but just looks like he’s never played the game before when it gets complex. He needs a run of games in one position, but I’m not sure that is with us right now, in the short term. It’s not helped that bar Nicholson that whole side has changed again for the third week in succession, but it’s the basic instinct that just doesn’t match those around him.

Kicking is awful, and we don’t have a fix for that. Walker aside. So we need to find a way of finishing our sets higher up the pitch. That came from having a better grip defensively when they are coming away from their line, but we let them come away easily, not only that but offload and cause us issues on the back of it. We need to be ruthless with discipline in those sets when we’re trying to pin them down there, which comes from having a bit in the tank to aggressively defend. To do that, your backs have to get you up the field. Dufty aside, maybe Ashton too, the backs didn’t make enough yards. Wrench and Tai had lots of touches for no return, King makes a lot of yards per carry but didn’t seem to get many at all. So we revert to the forwards in the middle and it’s just slow and easy to defend. Currie is the only one who ever looks like he might actually pass the ball, the rest plod up and get knocked back. Need more movement around the ball to make the defence have to work for it.

But it came down to fine margins. If Walker is an inch further back we go to their 20m, down by 11 with time on our side. We have a chance to win it. Instead I think Wood is caught offside and they go the other end and finish us off. Really frustrating.

Tai is a Poundland Ryan Atkins. He has no game smarts. When or how to pass, where to position himself or what lines to run. I really hope we don't offer him another contract. I'd rather develop Lindop and Wrench. While on Wrench, I raiser earlier in the season that I was worried I was seeing zero progress in him knowing how to position himself in defence and it's costing us tries. I still have this opinion.

Wrench just needs to play. He needs a loan move and play 80 minutes in the same position every week. For various reasons, he’s been in and out of the team. But he needs to learn the game. Every match is like he’s been plucked from the stands and thrown in at the deep end. There’s a rough diamond in there, but he needs to get a grip of his role.

Well said Bunkaib

`You could see Salfords plan big kick from Sneyd to Dufty getting him to run back in and he wasn't involved as much in the attack as well as offload and get wide`

Great coaching from Rowley.

Speaking of centres, why hasn't that Bruines been given a run yet?

He has had hamstring injury, and consequently hasn`t played a game yet for our Reserve team.

I saw him at yesterday`s Reserve game and he was walking OK, but not sure where his recovery is up to
