I find it frustrating, and it's not that I've seen a huge amount of Broadbent. However it's plain as day that Briscoe is a square peg in a round hole.

My only thought would be that he struggled with the physically of first team, and struggled defensively. Briscoe whilst having limited impact in attack, is pretty solid defending

Yep. Pretty sure Agar has praised his metres carrying out from deep too. Not really what I'd be looking at closely from a centre but the kind of metric that some coaches seem to like. Possibly rightly, who knows?

To be fair to Agar Briscoe wasn’t picked at centre this week, he was a sub. Broadbent is currently behind in the pecking order as things stand, who knows why, perhaps his performance in pre season training wasn’t at the same level as his competition or he may have picked up a small unreported injury in pre season.

It’s early days in both the season and Broadbent’s career, but Agar has put him in the first team before and I’m sure he will again. I wonder if he’s a player who may feature for the Bulls in the new dual registration agreement.

Its upto Broadbent to perform to a higher standard. He scored 3 last week but he let one in and overall didnt do enough and i say that as a big fan of Jack.

True. He's always been a strong carrier early in the tackle count. Part of the game often overlooked. RL these days is 95% graft and 5% flair, so steady wins the day

What did Cam Smith actually get put on report for and was there anything in it?

Far as I could see he wrapped the ball carrier's legs with his own to help bring him to ground in a two man tackle. I've not watched it back but didn't see a lot wrong. One where even the disciplinary might struggle to find grounds for a ban, I reckon...

Thanks for that.

Isn’t it madness the main discussion post game is who will be banned following week! It’s frankly a farce…….

For me there was nothing in any of our tackles that are likely to be looked at that are worthy of a ban, Fusitua came from in front and put in a bit of a lazy shoulder, worthy of a warning. Smith was poor technique but didn't look reckless or particularly dangerous to me and Leeming's was a great tackle that I'm still not convinced even made any contact with the head - and the disciplinary have already set their stall out in that regard with Currie's tackle that was much worse.

Far and away the most dangerous thing that happened in the game was the double knee to the head and that has to be looked at.

On the game itself, it felt like if we hadn't put the cue on the rack at half time we could have scored another five. The tries Wakey scored were generally very good and not down to our traditional defensive flaws. Much more like the Warrington performance and a good sign.
