Willow made a point about the fact Wigan players appeared more physically developed. if you compare our team on the day against Wigan it is quite apparent. Tomkins is quite a slight size in rugby terms. Wigan can accommodate that at full back as he is protected to a degree i.e. not constantly targeted in the defensive line. He does what he needs to when required defensively and isn't too bad a tackler. Same with Luke Dorn, but we have rather more players that do not appear to have the physical size of their opposite numbers, Dixon, Witt and to a lesser extent Howell. You could add Sarginson but he didn't play. Any one you could accommodate but collectively, as has been outlined previously, it does weaken us defensively.Yesterday it was collective failure rather than individuals. Plus I don't think we have an effective game plan.
