It takes a lot longer though. As previously stated about the likes of Clare they just seem to naturally know what to do almost instinctively. That means that can concentrate on doing the other things better than everyone else.

Lilley is also another one who just seems to have the game running through his veins.

He was crap to day needs to get a grip.

I'm not claiming he was MOM but he got a wicked bounce when he took the ball over the dead ball line and he had been moved from Fullback for the last try.

Yeah I think Campbell was at FB for the last try wasn't he? Either way, I want to see the replay to see just where the hell he was. As soon as the kick went over, I just sat bemused as to why absolutely nobody was there.

The one Thomas took out was entirely his fault though. Wicked bounce? Yes. But he was stood far too close to the ball shepherding it out with nobody anywhere near him. With a Rugby League ball, it can always bounce funny and he was stupid to be that close.

On today's (and previous) evidence, it's clear Oscar is not a half back. Fullback? He's played well in the main. I appreciate he was only playing in the halves out of necessity today, but I'd rather play Vila there than Oscar in future.

Can we get rid of Macani somewhere? leave him chained to a lamp post somewhere?
