Think Croft is worth a mention from last night. He does the tough stuff well, makes plenty of metres after contact with good leg drive. He handled Cudjoe well enough in defence aswell. For me he plays for the rest of the year and develops a decent relationship with TJ

The Sky pundits said Fifita looks different from last week when he carried the ball in 6 times .There again last night he was playing with last year's squad .

Bloody predictive text.

They still didn't score 50......

Cudjoe was so intent on moving out to obstruct Croft that he left a lovely channel for Ashurst to coast through onto Millers deft kick.

That's unfortunately the point. Standing in the middle gets no one. Needs to just be more decisive in defense.
He's clearly above most on the league in most areas for a winger but that miss will cost him when England are looking.

I struggle to see your point, not too sure why it matters where a player is from or what kind of background they have come from?

Standing on his wing the centre has a walk in, stand in the centre the wing has a walk in, stand where he did he has an opportunity to at least get to the attacking player. I suppose in an impossible situation he forced the wing to score out wide resulting in a difficult conversion, subsequently missed, which placed less pressure on Hampshire for his last conversion.

Point taken!

Agreed.

I played FB most of my RL career, all under 18. However occasionally I played on the wing and I hated it. You were always on a hiding to nothing in defence. You were so dependant on other players who often made you look a fool. That doesn’t change even at the top level, especially in a team playing as poorly as we’ve been.

TJ made one mistake, perhaps, probably the same number as most and less than some. However his overall contribution is class and if he played for Saints nobody would ever question TJ’s defence because he’d rarely be in that position whilst at Wakefield it’s a given I’m afraid.
