Last night it was calling out for a change of tactics during a match instead of blundering on with a plan which as no flexibility. Stick to what we have worked on during the week, the old plan A seems to be the formula.

Not long into the second half it cried out for a bit of off the cuff decision making, one of the halves should have been subbed, with Pat going to fullback, Hughes to the wing and Hampshire to halfback.

Doing this could not have produced any worse rugby and might have given the team a bit of a spark.

Bowen, Barba , Slater, Hayne... do you watch the Ozzie game? Obviously not

Nor do you

I tend to agree to be honest. I think he is still a long way off being ready at Super League level and all the talk about him being the replacement for Tomkins is premature to say the least. I also think he was woefully out of position a couple of times that led to tries, not knocking him for that though as he is playing out of position.

We have tried Murphy, Tierney and Hampshire at full back and none look ready to me, either skills wise or physically. It is certainly not their faults as they are still teenagers with a long way to go but just shows that with no proper reserve league in place that it is practically impossible to have ready made replacements to when injuries occur.
