Great stats. Can't really argue with anything there. Good effort from all the props. A positive of Wilkin moving to 7 is Flanagan's inclusion in the 13 from a defensive point of view. The pressure will be off Wilkin to make his 40/50 tackles a game that he regularly gets through.

The stats showed how Ade and Meli helped out the forwards by coming in field. All three main props made 3 figures in the metres made plus Sia and Robes which shows that our front row was not overpowered as it was in the first three rounds.

It also shows that our drop in the second half was down to our bench. The three young lads tried hard but they will need some more experience before they are contributing the same as the regulars.

Another improvement we are slowly getting there.

Looks like we had a field day going forward

You can see almost a doubling in the meters made from the main pack. Manu has the standout figures as an average, but when you look at TP's total number of carries and how high his average gain was, he did even better than I thought on the day.

Error count was also low.

Probably an unexpected bonus of Wilkin to halfback is the low penalty count. Not doing so many tackles has kept him away from giving those daft penalties.

Pretty good stats from the pack, and as already mentioned Meli and Gardner helping out like two extra forwards.

Glad to see Walmsley didn't make any errors. I'll put the two against Hull down to nerves. It's good to see him looking for work with 9 carries and 16 tackles.

Just watched the highlights reel. Some really nice tries. Alot of them where down the far end so did not get a great view on the day. It was interesting that we used the full width of the try line. Tries from deep, tries from the forwards, and also spreading it out wide. The combination with Meli and Roby showed great awareness from Roby, spotting the numbers, not something he is well known for out wide, more scoots up the middle. The combination between Wheeler and Lomax too was pretty nice, created a lovely overlap to put Ade in at the corner. http://www.superleague.co.uk/sltv/SLHighlights#

Why did Manu only make 7 carries? He's our most dangerous attacking forward! We need to get it to him more often than that.
