Late dirty tackle from behind? They were face to face, it wasn't high and he was a fraction of a second late. There's no way he could have pulled out.

I feel sorry for Sarge at times. He always puts in a shift and other than the missed tackle I thought he was ok last night. In fact, I thought he did more than Gildart.

Thought Marshall looked the most threatening with ball in hand. Zak didn’t really do much going forwards and I thought he was slow linking up at the back - but was absolutely solid in defence.

As I’ve said before I thought Flower, Bullock and Hamlin were very good. Greenwood was good again (except getting run over by Peyroux). Farrell was poor on his wrong side.

And I never thought I’d be saying this but maybe Sammut is the player we need in the team. I’d keep it same for next week (unless Manfredi is back, then I’d take out Davies).

I'd swap Greenwood and Farrell. Greenwood was ok on the right side last year. Navarette could be fortunate to be picked. Don't think Romain had a second spell which if uninjured says a lot. Tautai or perhaps Kibula to replace him.
We need pace in the middle and whether Escare is used and where will be interesting.

I said last year that Powell did not produce enough in attack and got slated for it saying he was being instructed to play that way by Wane.

I'd agree on both counts. When at his best, Hardaker is the best defensive full back I've seen.

Lockers excellent so far tonight v Leeds (33mins gone).
Best player on the pitch
