I agree, how many times was Coyle the last man to get back into the defensive line? He's just not quick or fit enough IMO - In SL we'd get killed in and around the ruck if we've got players struggling to get back into the line.

He does make the odd good run, but he was totally ineffective for large parts of today. Seems to me like he usually plays ok when we're on top but when we're in an arm wrestle or under pressure you don't see too much from him.

About the inside balls, IMO I'anson also refused to pass it out wide, instead either trying to go himself or trying the inside ball. In once incident Leuluai was held short by about 4 or 5 defenders out wide on the left - all we had to do was get it out wide to the right. A couple of players had the right idea but as soon as the ball got to I'Anson the attacked was stopped dead in its tracks. In the space of about 2 or 3 minutes he wasted 3 or 4 good chances by making the wrong choices.

I still think that was decent reffing, how often would he have been allowed to nick those couple of yards. Spot on for the ref placing the tee himself like.

Though he was kind of making up for the fact he let Handforth bring it infield 10m from Flynn penalty!

Best thing he done all game was moving the kicking tee and rightly so, I thought he was very poor though.

Regarding Coyle on Sunday,didn't he take a heavy knock early on in the game? he looked a bit groggy when he got back in the line.

Yea quite a bad one too. If we had Tomkins / Lunt on the bench I doubt he would have played even half the mins once he came back!
