Quote ="MorePlaymakersNeeded"On the plus side:
Mikaele made the yards we need at prop (hope he can improve on this benchmark)
Wrench & Thewlis played very well
We won and didn't concede 30-40+ points
Negative side:
We need to find many more sparks of creativity
Ratchford, where do you play him (an old chestnut, but I still don't think he's worth a starting slot any more), as he looked lost at centre last night?
Matu'atia, why was he at half back? Yes, we have now won two games with him playing there, but we have Thewlis who's a full back, Widdop who's a half back and Ratchford in the starting 13. He's not the creative attacking half back that we need, even if he had a solid game in that position.'"
I wonder if there is too much of an ego/personality clash with our 2 superstars at half back & they are both trying to dictate play.
PS was anybody else grateful it didn't go into first point extra time ?
