Hardaker 8 Not much in attack but he will get better. Looked superb in defence and under the ball.
Davies 5 wasnt involved enough
Gildart 6 Not his best game
Sarginson 5 Poor all round but for one decent run.
Marshall 6 Did well for his try but never really got any running chances
Williams 5 Very poor, offered very little
Leulaui 5 Same as Williams
Flower 9 Awesome first stint
Powell 5 Generally ineffective
Navarette 2 Terrible, 2 points for turning up
Farrell 5 Looked awkward and out of place on the right
Greenwood 7 Some good runs and offloads.
O'Loughlin 8 some nice touches and strong defence as always. Looked fitter than i expected.

Hamlin 7 Some great runs early on but faded
Bullock 7 Same as Hamlin
Isa 5 Didnt offer enough when he came on
Clubb N/A

Poor performance all round. We had nothing new in attack than we had last year. Early days but i didnt really see any positives in the playing style.

Hardaker did do anything was a 6 at best. The lazy usual floppers annoyed me with Farrell and Isa. Powell is like Nathan Hindmarsh...3rd man in. Disappointed, looked off the pace, shows what a poor pre season selection does for you.

TL 4 for me. And you get 3 for showing up with the correct kit. Crap with ball in hand. Crap with his boot.
Give championship Sammut a game when he’s available.

Agree with most others, other than lockers. Thought he offered sod all.

Dont forget Hardaker has not played for a long time and is not really used to the team so you cant expect too much in attack just yet. You cant deny though that he looked so assured and comfortable in defence and taking the ball, much safer than Tomkins ever looked.

have to disagree

In what way? Did you think he looked dodgy in defence?

he didnt make it to either try scored on the wing and the try Roby scored it was poor. You think otherwise?

We’ve a hell of a lot of work to do with the halfbacks and hooker. Zero space created by them and a massive concern for me. We need to lose Williams and go in a different direction at 6.

Roby try O'Loughlin was in front of him and fell backwards on him, wing tries the ball movement was far too quick for a covering fullback. No Fullback would of got over.

he could have for the first easily

That was more due to very poor defence by Sarginson. He probably didnt realise he had such a hit and miss defensive centre in his team and expected him to make the tackle.

Disagree with your ratings. Id have Hardaker 7, Marshall 7. Is also have Bullock and Hamlin as 8 or 9, I thought they were both excellent.

but he still could have got across on the slide

Spot on, two of the best centres in the league and they're not getting the service they deserve. Wonder how much time Lam will give Williams if he wants to deliver the more expansive game he's promised?

Was Williams so poor? Playing behind a beaten pack but still kept making half breaks. Leuluai at 7 offered far less (not that I'd expect much from him as a half). Losing Clubb on the same night we were having to adjust to 8 interchanges made it bloody tough and was a big factor in the loss IMO.
