The Pelo try was not his fault, due to our defence bunched up under the sticks it left our left side isolated, Bridge had to mark their 2nd rower and King was left marking their centre, this was due to around too many players around the ruck under the sticks trying to stop the scoot and dive over the try line from dummy half.
His positional play was good, especially for the chip over when he difused play in the 1st half, he made good yards for his kick returns, King and Bridge cannot do anything if they are not given the ball. The Bridge/King partnership looks promising to me. The whole defensive structure needs looking at for me. For the 1st time in a while i think we conceded more tries down our right side than our left, but i don't see anyone slagging off Hicks.
Best comment i heard last night, It's all King's fault because he is the highest paid player. FFS
I agree with you. Much better on the wing. Leave them there for a few weeks so what they can do.
Now The Wire.

He 'did a Penny' for one of Catalans' tries, when he rushed out sort of inbetween the Cats' centre and winger and allowed the ball to almost go behind him.
I'm begining to the think it's the inside defenders that are the problem, leaving the fringe defence isolate. We seem to be holding hands in the middle of the pitch, around the ruck, leaving uneven gaps on the outside.
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky And we're always the last when the cream is shared out For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
King couldnt be any worse on the wing than at centre so why not give him a try?
Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS

Correcto-mundo .... and it's Briers virtually everytime being AWOL + Louis going ape on the rush on his own leaving gaps which they exploit to the usual effect. Happened all last season.

And it's honestly took you that long to work it out. Penny is/was the scapegoat.

they put bridge on the wing , bridge isnt a winger or a full back , he is a stand off or scrum half really and matt king is a winger he played winger at melbourne

No, no he didn't.
Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.
