| Quote: tugglesf78 "Agree it was a superb debut. his defence was solid and he reminded me a little of Jeff toovey in defence, whereby he knows what part of his opponent to hit, just to knock them off balance and them use his momentum in order to knock them over (particularly when he sent the winger into touch). He has an awkward style of run that is quite deceptive. I thought in the Whitehaven game he had a lethal step and it appears from tonight’s effort that he does.
I tell you one thing though a little of topic....we really need to start getting the ball to Roberts on the right wing. If I remember correctly, he only (apart from dummy half runs) received the ball in open play maybe twice in 80 mins, but look at the way he took his try. He is lightning fast.
All in all they did well tonight as a team, maybe not consistently but hey... a wins a win
Agree with that
Thought Roberts showed some promising signs tonight

| Quote: Salty "Smith can't do the same because he has no pace. If a player has pace he can get close to the attacker so he can get his arms around him to effect the tackle. Smith reaches out because he cannot get close, he can't get his shoulder in and as a result can't tackle.'"
And maybe it's then a problem with the 3 steps, and hold defence that Noble employs.
Would smith be better if we employed the "rush" defence?

| Thought Sam Tomkins played well, and he surprised me in defence, as I haven't seen him play before. Showed a few nice touches and good organisation skills. He showed maturity beyond his years, as exemplified by his grubber into touch a couple minutes from time. I hope for the good of the game he carries on improving.
