That's probably the way the coach saw it too. Against a big, very experienced and high quality Hull pack, a big guy like Sibbit should have been ideal, at least in the physical presence he provided on the field, though giving away the pens and getting ten minutes in the bin, very much detracted from his performance.
Theoretically our young players needed a senior figure to lead the pack, but without detracting from Andy Lynch, who I thought had a good game, it just didn't work out that way.
