I'm not sure who is responsible for the the fact we criminally under use our forwards, is it the way that BH wants us to play, do our forwards simply avoid taking the carries or is that whoever is acting half choses to by pass the forwards? What ever it is it needs resolving and quickly. I just hope we do not see any more comments from BH or the players about how they have prepared well all week blah blah blah as its just all talk and sadly they have yet to walk the walk.
My concern with BH as Coach is that he is just too nice a guy and not ruthless enough.
It's a Radford tactic, could understand when we had the likes of Talanoa, Fonua and Faraimo, but when you have Swift and Mcintosh. then you use the forwards more.

Mitch and Johnstone to be replaced by Carlos and Lane.
Start Reynolds at 6, Lovodua at 13, then switch to hooker to rest Houghton.
Also use Lane in the backrow to give rests to Savelio and Ma'u.
Get some work out of the prop forwards.
we hardy ever interchange our second row forwards.Another coaching failure. Dont think Carlos will be fit for the Derby but if he is why would you leave out Mitch when Griffin is under performing yet gets a free pass. He needs to be dropped to the bench as a kick up the bum. he can then be used either in the backs or in the second row to utilise his speed and handling skills

I thought both centres we're poor on Saturday so either one could be dropped for me. I liked wynne in that position don't understand why he hasn't featured since Sheffield

Interested why you think Mitch was poor at right centre? He was up against a class centre in Leutele and kept him quiet again as he did in the home match. McIntosh should have stopped Leutele grounding the ball after a good defending tackle from Mitch Like you i agree Wynne offers a bit more at centre than just taking the ball up and making a few metres but if anyone had to make way it should have been Griffin

I just thought he forced the pass a couple of times when keeping it would have been a better option and although the flick passes from Connor are difficult to read he dropped one against Wigan and again on Saturday just think his concentration wasn't on point. Agree with you tho defensively been very good
