Relying on the backs to make metres are the wrong tactics when you have a back line including French, Field and Marshall all small and fast. Only really works if you have big wingers like Hall, Dom Young, maybe even Thornley. So he needs to stop that off right away, fair enough King and Wardle are big lads but that should be no excuse for our props to be making the meters they did.

Copper 64
Singleton 38
Ellis 23
Havard 61
Byrne 28

That’s pathetic from Singleton, Ellis and Byrne as top NRL props will make those metres in a set, they need a strong word with.

Marshall generally does ok on yardage. I agree regards French, he isn’t suited to that style though.

It’s the tactics we have pretty much employed since Wane’s influence took over the club.

It’s obviously proved successful at times, but personally it’s not one I particularly like, but I get why we do it.

Yeah, we've played this way for about 10 years.

As an outsider why would you not utilise your back 3 in terms of yardage? Gets you on the front foot and with a quick play the ball, gaps appear and the likes of Field and French would take advantage.

Look at Saints with Makinson and Percival. They are hardly the biggest of backs but they run strong. Even Grace who was lightweight would make good yards.

Marshall has made big improvements in this area IMO to be fair

Field was 2nd to Ash Handley in meters made last season, Marshall and Farrell were in the top twenty. and French missed quite a few games at the beginning of the season.

A major problem last week was the penalties conceded (6) most unlike Wigan who were the most disciplined club last year.

Watched the Salford game last night and noticed that most of there tries came on there left edge with Abdull's kicking.

On the basis of the fist 2 games their left edge is very impressive. They were creating opportunities and running the play that caught us out very effectively last night even with a change in personnel.

I was expecting KR to struggle this year but they look like realistic contenders for s top 6 finish.

All the tries you conceded were on our left edge

Just watching the highlights of Salford/HKR now. It's very much the Jordan Abdul Show.
