I really want wrench to be great but I just don't see what others seem to, maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand what people think they've seen him do that warrants a starting spot.

Thought Nu Brown made a very dignified and measured statement on his Instagram, very classy fella. Fair play.

Play acting? He had eight stitches.

In my best Kevin Keegan style, I would love it if we just ditched the body clamping and wrestle tackles, and just go for the legs.
They can’t run without their legs and completely removes the head tackle dangers.

In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is King. He looks our only centre that can beat a man with footwork and pace.

He set up the try for Lindop vs Catalans quite nicely I thought.

Yes he got on the outside of the defender with footwork and pace.

I don’t think anyone is of any doubt about his attacking ability, he has pace and agility. But, his defence needs work. We’ve conceded four tries this year, all on our right. Granted, the Abdul try he could do nothing about, and you could argue that Walker’s he was scrambling but never likely to prevent it. But the other two are down to bad reads by him.

Lots of potential though, just needs some support and consistency around him.

Can`t understand why King isn`t playing right centre for us this season?

He played all last season for Wigan on the right and with him playing left centre, we currently have 2 inexperienced 3/4 playing together on our right edge.

It would make more sense to play Wrench as left centre to Ashton who is an established international winger and King playing inside to Thewlis.

Just watched the game again. Lachlan Fitzgibbon looks a really good signing. Some nice touches and heavily involved in King & Harrison tries. Just what we want.

Allan Bateman, the best exponent of that particular art. I've not seen anyone better before him in P&B and afterwards.

Hasn't been rl tactics for best part of 30 years, certainly since start of sl. First contact up top to wrap up the ball and prevent an offload

it’s true they can’t run, but they can pass.

And they can get up and play the ball quickly while thr tackler is still on the floor behind the ruck,

Yes easy for the attacker to land on elbows and knees and get that quick play the ball - any pull of the leg in that position by the defender is immediately penalised by the referee - the rules have encouraged tackle height to increase significantly.

My son has been playing youth rugby for 5/6 years now certainly for the past few years they have talked about first tackler contact up top to wrap the ball up and slow momentum, second tackler to go up top and stop momentum, third tackler to clamp the legs and wrestle the attacker on to his back. Stops the offload, and delays the play the ball.
