I agree that sort of game management needs to be reviewed.

I also agree with previous posters that there was a lack of penetration from both starting back rowers.

It would be good to see Batchelor start alongside Tanginoa in the back row against Catalans with Whitbread starting at prop with Fifita…

Arona was best metre maker per run in the forwards and was massive in defense so he has to stay IMHO.

I also saw Miller call for 2 points early on but was told to run it by Poaching. So it's not as simple an on field fix we need.

We are possibly down up to six players plus Reece on Saturday so the choices may be limited. This is the current unfair nature of playing games in France early in the season.

Looks like we are down to our last 2 centres in Hall and Minns.

We may be missing a few due to vaccinations but we should still be able to put a team together to go and fight for 2 points.

This is exactly the point Mr Carter was trying to put across, do try and keep up.

[*]Did you see the Batchelor no try? What happened there.

Spot on. Kalepi had the cleanest kit on the pitch. Honestly not sure why he didn’t seem to get stuck in.

The Jowitt where he wrong footed the Hull players was a strange decision from ref. Nobody in the stands had a clue what he’d blown for. There was no obstruction and it was just great footwork.

Batchelor was excellent along with Dave in middle. Batch should start next week for me.

Crowther was great in defence but really needs to find a pair of hands sometimes. I’m all for giving him a bit of time to find his feet at 13 but couldn’t help think Walker would have been handy when we were camped on the Hull line with some of his deft kicks and good hands.

Overall though, that was a very close game and there’s plenty of positives to take from that.

He also came on very late in the first half, IIRC, seemed a strange time to put him on.

And went off about 15 minutes into the second half...was very under-whelmed with him on Sunday

Yes I know he did, at least you are able to retain some facts when you want to. He did hope that three of them would take the vaccination, I suppose you will be able to regale us if they have.

Very little point really, you seem to have the matter in hand.
