Quote PopTart="PopTart"Yes generally agree.
I just watched the full game back.
The stand out players for us were Scott and CHU for me. They looked every bit ready to go so things can only get better.
Rodwell was average by his standards but that often happens with forwards in preseason.
Thought the second rows were hit and miss. Some good some very average but Seth is just off the plane and Vagana is learning his trade.
We lacked go forward when both teams were strong, which is forwards and back 3.
Walmsley was OK and showed a lot of speed to run Sivo down. Although neither winger got much chance, we didn't see Hall or Sivo break a tackle either.
I like Rourke and unless the others find form I can see him claiming the left centre spot.
Half backs were the interest for me.
Neither really shone but we didn't have much field position for them.
Honestly, if we are still down on hookers I'd be having Russell at 9 and Lino at 7. He looked like he wanted it today did Lino and I'm all for that. But there's a long way to go there.
If you put Max, Tom, McMeekan, Hood, Doyle and Atoni, and probably Stourtan and Pitts, the field position will be massively different so we'll see how we progress with more troops.
Quite impressed with the youngsters when they came on. More so than Leeds which is saying something.'"
Glad you made a comment about Lino though he was the best half of the 3 .Russell ,can kick, can tackle is 24 so think offers a lot more than Hood at 9. Enjoyed match defence looks very good, we got speed in the team, but a lot of work to do on the attack by the look of the first half
