Bailey had him in his pocket in the Bradford game. I think Scruton is ok. But against the Bulls, which I was directly talking about, he under-performed and let the occasion get to him.



So what is your point?

I'm only playing, I actually thought Bailey had a good game. Just like winding you up

Meh.



Of course Bailey had a good game. That's what he does. Silly.

Eastwood was absolutely immense. With the injuries he was the only one we could rely on for the meters to be made, and he did that. The offloads were just an added bonus.



The amount of yardage he gave us in that second half, if not through his own running, then the offload to a supporter to gain, was so so important.



On another note, Senior may well show as 20 tackles and no misses, but there is not stat for bottling out of tackles and leaving it to team mates. Too often he hangs back and does not assist his team mates. He was entirely at fault for that Platt try.

Not as often as Scruton it would appear.

Entirely?



I'll agree he could've assisted McGuire. Should've assisted McGuire. But McGuire had hold of Platt and let him go. The majority of blame lies with McGuire.

Ok, I'll accept I was going over the top with the word entirely, but I blame Senior more than McGuire, although I accept it was McGuires miss.. All he had to do was assist in the tackle, and it would not have been a problem. But he just stood there watching.



My going over the top comes from a frustration of seeing this consistently happening in games this season. Watch it, he does it all the time. He is very lazy when he thinks someone else can handle it, instead of helping out. His actual 20 tackles made and no misses however is a positive stat.

I beg to differ, of course.

We're almost in agreement but I'd still lay the majority of blame with the player who had Platt in his grasp and couldn't finish the tackle. Players shouldn't [ineed [/ithe help of a team mate to execute a tackle. I do agree it was poor of Senior not to assist though.



It's not something I've picked up on but I'll look out for it.

I hope to god you don't see it against Wigan, but I guarantee you will see it in the next couple of weeks, unless of course his coach sort's it.

I guarantee I won't.











I'm off on holiday.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise to the NRL followers that Eastwood was outstanding in his interchange prop role. It's the role he excelled in the last couple of seasons.



Leuluai and Jones-Buchanan also have impressive looking meters in the game given their reduced gametime. Peacock is a freak but it's nice to see others step into the breach when he's unavailable.
