Quote: Stu M "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.
