Oh 100% play to your strengths & it has worked/been successful.

You've touched on the real problem however and it's the long term strategy. It swaps from being playing to your strengths, to being a conscious effort not to change things. A perfect example would be to replace Singo at the end of the season. If we don't, then it's a style preference instead of making do with what we've got.

FWIW, a lot of teams line up like us. Saints with Makinson Percival look for those early carries. Penrith with To'o do the same + Liam Martin makes big yards. They've also got props that make big yards too - Walmsley being the best in SL and Fisher-Harris probably being the prominent prop in the game.

We need to improve our front row go forward. Making excuses for Singleton being cr@p isn't helping us.

We absolutely do, but given how we currently play we can't look to compare stats with forwards from sides that don't play the same way.

I'd sooner look at our stats as a team than try and compare certain areas. As I've said, I'm more concerned at the error rate at the moment as opposed to who is and isn't making yards.

Agreed, error rate and penalty count are huge issues for us currently and should be priority for the team and coaching staff.

I think Salford could really show us up if they are on point and we continue more of the same. Consistantly out own worst enemy and a team with the attacking potential of Salford could be the one to punish us for it.

Noticed during the Eels Panthers came, Ennis said after the first 10 minutes or so Fisher Harris and Leota only had 1 carry between them for the panthers.

The outside backs did the majority of the carries.

Rubbish Wigan

Was just going to say the same; I just watched the game. But Penrith always do this, their outside backs work overtime every week.

That's not very common though. Fisher Harris averages 150-160m per game over the last few seasons.

Take into account though that they count their metres differemy over there. They count there's from as soon as the player catches the ball as which inflates their figures compared yo us who only start counting past the advantage point.

That said, i am sure that still transfers to decent metres over here and he would likely make more in the SL vs. our typically looser defences.
