Egg b. London played the right game today, soon as fifita came on first 3 drives were straight in his face.
Danny Brough went missing a bit and stuck to form getting himself sent to the bin. You have a big pack who withthe new 8 sub rule suffered today and will struggle against more mobile teams.
Penalty count was actually 5 a piece until the last 3 minutes where london gave away another 3 defending the line!
The big pack isn't the problem, it's that they are an unfit big pack that's the problem. They've had the same issue for the past couple of seasons, it takes a good 8 weeks from the first game for the pack to get themselves into any kind of shape, and they look in the worst shape I've seen them in the last 3 years. Towards the middle to back end of last season, the whole pack were doing 30+ min stints, but at the start they are slow and lazy
