Having rewatched the game, I think it came down to three things:

1. We lost it in the forwards. Only Taylor looked dominant, but we played him too long IMO, he looked completely goosed towards the end of his stint and couldn't get back into the defensive line in time which allowed Brough to break, leading to a try. This game would have been a perfect one for Pettybourne to put himself about but he was fairly anonymous.

2. Our defence on the flanks. It was far too easy for them to create an overlap and exploit it. I don't even think it was mainly due to forwards getting sucked in either. Thornley made some pretty bad reads, not suprising given he's a centre though, Manfredi should have been out there instead IMO

3. We were too predictable. Four average drives then passing it out to the centre isn't going to trouble decent sides. I think Hampshire and Bateman might have offerred us something different off the bench and maybe found us a way to break the line. It's not like McIlorum and Hughes were much use.

Hopefully Wane will learn lessons from tonight because he picked the wrong side IMO and the side that did play didn't look up for it at all

Thornley didn't have a good game but was left exposed in defence by Sarginson.
Sargie can tackle but can't defend, he's all over the place. Hudds looked like they'd score everytime they went down our left defence.
When we've so few experined men and then we lose two, last night proved that the younger players have to play in their own positions. Play them out of position and they are in real trouble defence wise.
We can't keep Sargie at left centre, Thornley has to go back there.
Thornley and Burgess have a hope, Sargie and Burgess will be hopeless.
First though the forwards have to put in stints like they did at Saints last week.
If they can at least break even with NZW or Roosters packs then our pace with Charnley, Bowen and Burgess could do some damage.

Sarginson had a poor night I thought. He's got loads of talent and he'll be a top player for us but he looked like he was trying too hard if anything. Everytime the ball went near him he'd only have one thing in mind and that was taking on the line. In defence I think again he was over eager if anything and needs to settle down.

He'll take a few games to bed in IMO but once he does he'll be a real weapon.
