Weren't all the tries down the left last week? Does that mean we need a left side second row as well?

For me the problem was a lack of numbers which causes goulding and charnley to rush out. They're in a no win position. Stay where they are and they leave a gap in the middle, rush out and they leave a gap out wide. I don't think there is a problem with anyone's tackling technique they just need to communicate better and improve on line speed especially when close to the line.

On the plus side we kept them tryless second half and Bateman had a lot to do with that. I'm not panicking.

How did Hansen get on with Salford last night? I was too busy watching Wigan win.

I can see a lot of potential in Hughes and as I said I don't think giving him the no 4 shirt was a wise move and it set him back.

However, like Bateman he is one for the future and at the moment we lack the experience and the particular set of skills H brought to the team on that side. It stands out like a sore thumb. As someone else said the squad management has gone wrong here.

As much as Hughes was given the 4 shirt last year, he only played a handful of games at centre and still featured mostly at SR, so I really don't see how it could have set him back.

He was used mainly at centre right up until April though, which presumably means his training was geared towards centre throughout pre-season and the first 2/3 months of the season. He looked like he lost weight in that time to me

This indeed did happen ha. Saw the video on George Williams' Instagram. Quality punishment ha

He looked comfortable in the back row and like a duck out of water in the centre. However few games he played there seemed to affect him.
