I have said on many occasions this season we lack pace in the backs but first you need to back up and support the man with the ball an area that we have failed in for as many years as I have watched Trinity
Rooney is not the answer to this and never was

I would’ve thought the reason for the loss was marker defence on the line, 18 points given away in total. You can have all the pace in the world but if you don’t defend your line it’s futile.

Leeds, in particular Lauitiiti, Peacok and Leuluai, will be watching with great interest over the course of the week.

you just answered your own question, if you look at the saints, leeds teams when on song stream through most defensive lines through backing each other up,
the pace is there its just how it is applied, they didn't find the space on sunday, if you go back to the hull home game they have Broughton and Raynor, now they aren't slow are they but we rack up a decent score through backing up in attack but mostly the defensive line not get breached like yesterday.
our problem is the the defensive line being broken when out of position, fix that and the rest will come, at the beginning of the season we could hold teams to a low score and at least score 20 plus points, it puzzles me to how they aren't using the methods they started the season with

two of the huddersfield tries were debatable and one of ours, so take that into consideration there was nothing between the two teams

Totally agree with that. What would you do swap Atkins for Gleeson, so peto can get some good passes off Gleeson?

Not a bad idea, i'd like to see Peterson get more of the ball out wide, but what happens when Blanch gets back?

Straight back in team our best winger at our club without a doubt.

IMO of course

Absolutely.

Lol - of course i meant, if we swopped Gleeson and Atkins, to try and get a little more balance and Peto a bit more of the ball, then when Blanch came in would we reswap the centres again and have Glees back inside Blanch?

It should be a good partnership really shouldnt it ?? But for whatever reason there not getting a lot of ball and we tend to attack down our right hand side... Maybe they just need a bit more time together on the park - there were signs of improvement in there partnership last week against Shudds but if this was to carry on then we need to give Peterson more ball which could mean moving him to the left (which we generally tend to attack) and swop Grix and Peterson... On the Blanch topic, its a no brainer that we are missing him dearly but hes not available... Id like to see Murphy giving then chance now on the right and play Grix in the middle of the park possibly at Stand Off again as Martin is one dimentional with his kicking game - id like to see him back to the centres to be honest...

Yep sounds good to me.
