A fairly modest defence of Lineham (and Charnley, too, I would suggest). Perhaps, but one thing you haven't taken into consideration fwiw is reaction time, by the time both of our wingers had reacted to Lineham's unexpected tackle bust he would have had a further 5 metre head start and there certainly wasn't a 5 metre gap when he scored.

Added to the fact both our wingers had to come in at a longer distance angling into centrefield. It was a good tacklebust from Lineham that allowed him to get a head start which was enough and unfortunately poor defence that allowed him to sail through.

I’m not concerned about our pace. We have it in abundance but we need to be smarter in kicking (challenging the high ball) and creating space for our backs. The forwards need to stand up for me.

We still seem to struggle in the ruck area both offensively and defensively. When we have come up against the top sides we really struggle to win the wrestle and give lots of penalties away and never seem to get ptb as quick as the opposition. That and our kicking game are the things we need to work on imo and I'm sure Chezzie is doing just that.

A fairly modest defence of Lineham (and Charnley, too, I would suggest). Both Johnstone and BJB had to turn but still took 10 metres off Lynham over an 85 metre chase. BJB runs accross Johnstone line forcing TJ to let up and allow Bishop to get to Lynham.
