Agreed, was a more inexperienced squad than I'd hoped to see but as you say no apparent injuries. Thought Johnstone looked alright and Savelio was strong although a bit rocks and diamonds. Not reassured about our prop situation though.

I know its only a friendly but this on field indiscipline seems to run throughout all levels at the club
Lots of errors for both teams but we have an on field discipline issue at the club and its needs to be addressed.
The times we finish a set in the opposition 20 and then on the first or second tackle we give away a penalty,usually followed by a second penalty and then a try.

Agree, especially as LR cited discipline and defence as what he is looking for in these games, no drama, London up next and I expect a few more senior players in the side.

I agree we are one big experienced front row missing but still very optimistic about 2020.
I just wonder if Sao will end up playing in the front row.Lets hope not

Personally I hope Savelio can do a job for us there.

So the fact that we gave away the least number of penalties in SL last season is irrelevant?

Penalties are what referees do, and, on the whole, are random, sometimes they'll give them, sometimes they don't.

Bienek came off limping in 1st half and came out after halftime with his right thigh very heavily strapped.

Not sure what to make of the game apart from a run out for the players who took to the field. Cator & Johnstone looked ok as did the trialist Meyers who has a decent turn of pace. Savelio bit of mixed bag but he got through some decent game time.

Other than that quite a scrsppy game with a fair amount of holding down. Hopefully they got what they wanted and needed from the run out. Think the Halifax fans forgot it was only a pre season

Didn't know that.

For me in regards the indiscipline it tends to be when and where on the field we offend that causes us problems rather than the amount of indescressions.

Today there was a lot of of holding down and we seemed to be getting pulled for it a lot more than Halifax and we were certainly no worse than Halifax in that department.

I'd agree, didn't feel balanced.

Take stats with a pinch of salt
Like Huddersfield had the fourth lowest missed tackles
Penalties killed us at times last season and we have a habit of finishing the set well in the opposition 10 or 20 then giving away a penalty on the first or second tackle followed by another penalty which usually led to a try.This happened several times last season.
On field discipline is something the coach can instill into players and it needs to be addressed.
When we played and won at Wembley our discipline was first class and thats what i want to see.
