Well he is quite partial to doubles, thats why we signed him

Pettybourne played a total of 31mins had 5 carries and made 22 tackles

One game, think I will reserve judgement here.

Pettybourne was hardly alone in an a very poor team performance and Im confident that once the team gel we will be a force this season - especially when you include O'Loughlin, Charnley and Mclorum.

The problem for SW is that we don't really have much time given the WCC game which we need to win.

Its interesting that we were linked with Larne Patrick though which indicates that SW wanted to add something to the forwards before game one.

Statistics aside - we were well short of aggression.

I'd be more worried about the mediocrity elsewhere in the pack. Dudson, Hughes, Crosby, Flower - not one of them stepped up to the plate on Friday. Taylor outplayed them all on one leg!

Ben Flower made 40 tackles, hardly anonymous!

As with most of those players on Friday night, they all had other things on there minds and 1 foot firmly on the plane to aus.

Not professional i know but there attitude and mental approach just wasnt right and was visibly noticeable. I am suprised we didnt come away with injuries if i am honest
