Or Sinfield had called the play with Hall. Hall was in position, centre of the field, off his wing so it had clearly been set up for him, and not Donald, all along.

it would have looked a lot more obvious what was on had donald been in the middle of the field. with the scrum been on the left hand side, hall been behind the scrum would be a fairly normal position for running the ball in.

As I said a communication issue, in which case I had Donald as blameless.

If he had been aware he could have chased from his wing position. I would have expected his speed to run down Mathers, I suspect he wasn't aware which is a bit of a waste of an alleged speedster.

With hindsight perhaps I should have used this one:



In my defence I was spoiled for choice.

SL Reg Rds only

Kevin Sinfield - 12
Jamie Peacock - 4 + 1 joint top
Carl Ablett - 3 + 1 joint top
Danny Buderus - 1
Matt Diskin - 1
Jamie Jones-Buchanan - 1

The top tackle count in a single performance was by Sinfield with 51 V Harlequins at Headingley.

If Sinfield played at loose forward all the time he'd most likely be expected to top the count in light of his regular eighty minute stints he puts in there.
