Was that when he was trying to get the ball to Ratchford for a drop goal attempt ?

And nobody seems to have mentioned the fact that Asotasi was demoted to the bench. Can't understand that, I have been saying for a while he is probably our best forward, so why not put him straight on to intimidate their forwards ? Plus, his offloading game would have caused mayhem. Such a waste.

Don't bite Yed.

Demoted to the bench because he does sod all! I can forgive players like England for not playing well because I can see they are at least trying. 'Big Roy' takes in less ball than Ryan Bailey, hardly ever takes a tackle (always slows down looking to tip the ball off rather than putting his head down and driving it in like Hill) and the few tackles he does make he's the second or third man into the tackle. He wonders around like a lost child with his hands on his hips. If he doesn't want to be here then let him leave.

Too late, I already did

Put James Graham in this side and we'd get to it again. But many years will pass before we win a trophy again, the club is lacking in every department from top to bottom. The whole culture of the club needs to improve, there is no heart for a fight anymore, no will to win or be better. It'll take more than a new coach.

I think you are just being a bit picky there. I mean, he is always well turned out, has nice clean boots, runs onto the field extremely well, and always remembers which side to pack down on. I am sure the rest of his game will come in time.

Maybe you're right.I think I'm just expecting too much and to be fair to the lad, he did get a try against London. No easy feat on their patch!

Asotasi is a bit of a question mark. The fact that he couldn't even be d to get out of the way for that drop goal set up suggests a lot.

Higham had every right to be annoyed because it seemingly typifies 'Big Roy's' commitment to the cause thus far.

Having said that, I'm not detracting from the result. The desire early doors against Saints was outstanding. You'll give yourself a chance against anyone, in any situation, with efforts like that.

Loved it. And sets us up well when you take into consideration our upcoming fixtures.

Last one ambling to the tussle in the first half as well

Exactly. Where's the desire to get your mates back and fly in? He couldn't give two fecks about Wire. It's like he thinks all this is beneath him... It's a honour and privilege to pull our colours on and he's treating it like a chore.

The jury is still out on Asotasi for me. Not turned out to be the player we expected so far, but I remember the terrible start Matt King had with us and look what happened there. Some overseas players take a bit longer to settle so I'm hoping Asotasi will come good. So far he's been under-performing in a team of under-performers. When the rest of the squad start to pull their socks up hopefully he'll be right there too.

I agree with pretty much the assessments others have made: good but not great, better but not back to our best. Looking stronger and more interested in defence and more cohesive in attack but I still believe we need a strong halfback pairing and somebody, please god somebody, stepping up and leading the team. Without Briers and Morley it seems to have lost it's backbone

At least you can see something in England, I think it's just a fitness issue, the head is willing but the body isn't.

Please baby jebus take Roy back to Australia or can we convince Koukash he'll be the ideal replacement for Morley, I mean someone managed to do that to us.

There are a couple of notable differences between Matt King and Big Roy, particularly around the settling in period.

Firstly, King was 27 when he signed, so we had time to let him settle, learn the british game and deliver his best. Big Roy is fighting old father time with every passing day and looks like he's losing the battle.

Similarly, King signed a 4-year deal so again we were taking a long term view whereas we clearly expected Asotasi to settle quickly and pick up the mantle from Morley.

Finally, King was a Kangaroo international at the time of his signing. Asotasi hasn't played top-line international rugby for 5 years.
