I assume the game plan is based on thinking our outside backs are poor (which is true). Even so we'd look better if we moved the ball around more.

X2 games in and Widdop has failed to impress in both for me.

Also agree on Hodgson, never done it for me.
We looked ponderous and never really got creative with the ball, just grind,grind,grind. Was also terrible ruck speed with the Kiwis taking full advantage of slowing down the PTB area.
Thought Jerry was very unlucky not to score at the end but if its true that there's a knee injury to Hall it makes the inclusion of only x2 wingers in the squad look beyond stupid.

dislocated his knee

Given that Luke Briscoe can get a game I suspect Offiah might get a game somehow

Goodness me.

I think that’ll be the team, unless Thompson has recovered from injury

Has Widdop not been injured for most of the season? If so not really a surprise he is off the pace a bit. That said, its up to Bennett to make the big call and drop him now because he has been very poor over the 2 games and with Williams and Austin in the wings we have alternatives.

Didn’t realise Hastings was so slow . Feel better about us missing our now. I’d go Williams and Lomax in the half’s......
Hardaker full back
Clark hooker.

If Josh Hodgson waa still at KRnt would he be Great Britain hooker? Not a chance.

Hall dislocated his knee but it went straight back in.
I`m assuming that`s got to be better albeit painful.
I actually thought Walmsley had a decent game and Philbin wasn`t too bad.
Bateman will always give you that drive and enthusiasm.
The backs were terrible.

Didn’t Joe Westerman recently dislocated his kneecap and whack it back into place and keep going?

(shudder) He did indeed.

Sounds a lot more serious than a dislocated patella. Usually severe ligament damage if the knee joint itself is dislocated. I hope for Hally he makes a full recovery ....
