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.

If you take the legs the ball can go anywhere from an attempted pass & momentum stops anyway ,plus you still have another 12 available defenders.
Make RL attractive again .

This start to the season has been dire, even without the red cards fiasco. I can't believe no one at the top is banging on the drum about improving the spectacle to attract new fans. The best try I've seen this year has been from that Scotland RU winger in the six nations - that's how bad it's got!

I think the WCC was a spectacle and certainly high intensity. It would have done wonders for Wigan and growing their support base and raising profile.
Other than that game I've only watched our 2 games on TV. I have not yet felt the irresistible urge to watch us live.
