Blame the defending from the resulting set.

At most SL clubs, there is no diffeence at all in the modern game. They operate down either side of the field. There's no link work anymore.

Not true. There is certainly not as much traditional link work but it is still there and just as important.

When Smith was coming on last season he gave Barrett acres of space to work in with his distribution.

He is an out and out 7.

It's funny that in Oz, they still have a lot of players who are out and out 7's or 6's. We don't.

If he hadnt kicked out on full they would have been 20 meters further back so proberly not gone over to score.

Anyone feel Tommy's distribution is painfully slow when he's at first reciever? It gives the opposition defence so much time to move up and smother the line.

Tomkins to 7 with Smith, Lulu to hooker with Pig and Mcilorum on loan for a year, can't go wrong with that a ser
