It was when we put 90 past Doncaster away if I remember correctly?

I agree. Tyrer needs to improve his defence, and Ropati does too. Ford should be there when we know we will have a lot of defending to do.

Not slating Ford at all but I am not sure where people get the idea he's great in defence from?

Think Ropati has been find out early doors. If coaches in the Championship have sussed him out already, god help him in Superleage if he's kept on!!

Tangi's tackling is alright and on line defence is good it's just his mid field read that is appalling as Leigh and Toulouse found. If your going to attack that side attack early in the set (again Leigh - Nanyn). He just needs to learn better to hold his line rather than flying out every set trying to put a shot on!

From what I have seen this season Ford has done quite well defensively so far. We have not had a really settled back line, although Tyrer is sharp in the attack. I think Ropati has only been good in flashes.
