Did nothing wrong, despite what clueless, mindless idiots we have posting on here. He looked more comfortable on the wing than at centre. 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.

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.

King couldnt be any worse on the wing than at centre so why not give him a try?

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.

Why do you keep suggesting Gleeson as a left centre? Have you just mixed up the order?
