Give some credit to Smith. He's come up with a defensive plan that's smothering the threat of our left hand side, and he's got players running at them to tire them out. We've also had nothing whatsoever from Ganson.

Still more worried about our defence - Whiting now with a poor effort resulting in another soft try.

The same thing that happened to calling held as soon as a second attacking player joins the ruck.

Yes, our left hand side was completely smoothered when we had 3 or 4 man overlap.

Or seeing knock ons that are right in front of you

Always the same wing that struggles to slide no matter who the winger is.

For the first try Whiting came in and tried to put a shot on Turner's man when there was no need to. For the second try, Whiting was beat one on one. I'm not sure you can blame the sliding defence for Whiting's errors in this case (although I'd generally agree that our right hand side defence is poor)

One example. And even then they covered Westerman quickly enough to put him off the pass.

I'm no suggesting we can't do better, but you're giving the impression that we should be running in at will.

Game over.

AGAR OUT!!!

If we want to be a top team, with the amount of time we spent in their half, we should have scored a couple more tries. See Wigan in the CC.

The gulf in class is obvious to anyone. Even the wife's just said we're making it too easy for them.

Disagree. I thought it was superb work by Atkins. Great footwork and a fend. He's a shoe in for Englands left centre berth.

Also loved the way he mugged Westerman

Really soft tries. Pulling my hair out here because we are making the yards and playing with good intensity, but if you don't keep concentration and discipline you won't get anywhere.

Missing Obst, Whiting having a shocker in defence.

The first I agree. The 2nd was partly the sliding defence problem again, with all of the right hand side drifting in and Whiting not then having the pace to compete with Atkins once he had the advantage. Almost the same as Youngquest last week. Any quick winger will have an advantage over Whiting with an in and out, but we give them the room to do it by playing too narrowly.

I personally don't think the sliding problem is exclusive to the right hand side, it's just more common/apparent because most teams attack using their left more often, and Briscoe is so effective at last ditch tackling he often covers it up.

Give over man, it's not compulsory to blame the ref (unless you're a Hull fan). Wire are a class apart.
