He was well enough to bust three or four tackles and outpace 50% of the cover.

Our defence up the middle was fine; however, the right hand side was, as someone else has suggested, a shambles. However, along with Delaney, Smith and McGuire were equally to blame.

I think as well that Delaney and Smith haven't 'clicked' yet. Its easy to forget that Smith is coming back into the team with a new centre, not someone such as keef who knows his play.

However it is also a big ask for Smith to come back in and play 3 matches in 9 days and expect him to be superb in all. I thought he was puffing a bit after 20 today and he is still getting match fitness.

Can't disagree and wouldn't be pressing the panic button just yet and, as I said, Mcguire should carry an equal share of the responsibility. However, I'd expect that side of our defence to come under a great deal of scrutiny next week. All three are hesitant and ball watching at the moment.

That defence performance had nothing to do with Delaney and Smith not "clicking". It was a collective issue, not down to two players, and not even down to 3 players.

When Hull got their first two tries, Delaney was defending inside the prop. Outstide of him were Burgess, McGuire, Sinfield, and Smith. For me it was the structure that was the problem, they had obviously been told to line up like that.

I could not see what the structure was for the second half tries.

I caught Bluey on the radio when I got back from the match his comment "Tackle was something we went fishing with this week" lots of tackle bags being used this week I think
