Just got back and what a relief to see some live rugby, involving Fax, for a change.
Faxcar's summary is a good one with the whole dynamics of the game changing when Sharp went to fullback and Johno into the halves. We did well to stay in the arm wrestle in the first half as Widnes looked dangerous with ball in hand and their defensive line speed was much quicker than ours which nullified our attacking options.
Our kicking game out of hand on last tackle plays needs work on.
Also gaining more yardage on penalty kicks to touch.
Ambler was on fire in both attack and defence.
Sharp was a revalation at both wing and fullback and on that performance we are not going to be seeing 12 tries as the leading try score tally this season as it was last season!
Fantastic length of the field try which is worth a look it it's on yout tube/highlights.
Crowd just over 1300 and it was blummin freezing!
I know it's early days but on that performance as a first hit up with 10 players missing we look to have a stronger squad and continuing from where we left off last season.
Still can't get my head around why the bookies think we are going to finish 7th!
