I'm surprised no one has said he looks like kevin penny, in his first stint.

What they could do on high kicks is run interference and risk penalties, but at least give him a shot at catching the ball. Similarly the wingers could make sure they were in support when fielding long kicks to take a pass and make the run. Its still hiding him a bit, but better than just leaving him to it.

FWIW my main criticism of him is around the collision - he really doesn't look up for it sometimes. Given the game he plays, he really needs to get over that issue. If he can't he'll never be better than he is now.

Yep that's what I meant rather than him moving to the wing. Both wingers needed to get back and be close alongside and protect him as he goes up for the ball and take the pass for the next run in.
You can see both Hall and Briscoe do this for Hardaker when he looks a bit knackered or has taken a knock. Without taking anything away from Hardakers superb performances this season, he's been helped by having 2 wingers who always offer themselves as support.

Watch Chesters pre-match interview. "Albert was always playing, he's fully fit, got over his injury. Never a doubt".

Yeah, arrogance. Kelly was nowhere near fit.

Kieran Dixon's jump for the high kick just before Thomas Briscoe took off for his 90 metre try was more like an attempted header in soccer than attempted catch of the high ball.

Maybe Briscoe called and conned Dixon into thinking he was a KR player. It's the only explanation I can come up with!

Shame, remember watching him as a kid at Aldershot for Broncos/Quins kids along with a couple of others, parents and a dog!

Seriously, I wonder what mental condition the lad is in right now. Should the coach pick him for this weekend?

Who said they were all errors?

I just thought it was funny that he was in the shot of every try! Sometimes they were just two-on-ones, but others were just awful positioning for a full back. And he got boomed a couple of times too.

He also "got away with" a few dropped balls. He was actually lucky in a way!
