Can’t work out why French doesn’t swap into the full back role in certain attacking sets, gets wider and get the ball at full pace.

He need to use him more creatively.

Missing front rowers isn't going to help but it had nothing to do with the performance against Hull. We had more than enough field position and attacking opportunity - it was simply a lack of execution, cohesion and skill.

..and conditions. Both teams were struggling to keep hold of the ball. Neither team kicked their goals (bar the penalty in front of the sticks).

Makes Smith's 45 yard drop goal even more remarkable.

We’ve scored the most tries in SL and lead the league in clean breaks.

French at 6 won’t stop us winning the big games, it’ll be defence particularly in the middle stopping offloads and quick PTBs against the better packs.


Also we get criticised for lack of offloads (again we lead super league) also we give away too many penalties (we’ve conceded the fewest in SL)

We have literally done the second least offloads in the league, not sure where you’ve seen that we lead.

We’ve also done the second most defence (after Wakey), combining that with most tries scored paints a very odd picture

French at 6 is looking a lot better now
