Put it this way with the Hardaker effort: if it had been scored against us and given, I wouldn't have been impressed. And really, given as no-try on the field, it was hardly convincing enough to overturn.

Though the commentary focused on the knock-on, I thought the real doubt was over the grounding.

I thought it wasn't a try. But I agree "back is back" it wasn't a knock on. No probs. with grounding but I can understand those with doubts.

I preferred Zak at centre for Cas but seeing the weather Lam's selection was the best available in the circumstances. Hope he's back at centre for London with Escare at fb.
Perhaps Hankinson will revert to second row off the bench.
Sorry while I understand your opinion Hardaker is leagues better at FB than Escare will ever be it’s be for a game or two at best,ironically while I have no real opinion over Escare other than to say he’s a bits and bob type player he should have had a couple of games early doors so Hardaker could play himself into the side,but now Zak is getting better each game I don’t see where Escare can fit
Morgan should be used as Rhinos used Burrows. Bring him on when the opposition is tired with 15minutes to go in each half. He has speed and could open defences up.
Sounds so easy doesn't it.

What position?

Fullback moving Zak to Centre on the right edge.

That way you suddenly end up with a dangerous right and left edge vs a tired defence
These are two reasons not to trust people.
1. We don't know them.
2. We do know them.

think it was the grounding, didnt look like any control or downward pressure
