http://rlcoaching.co.uk/?p=345#more-345 A website here that maybe some use to our club. You can tell from the first sentance how useful it will be. "This defensive drill works on a number of the core defensive skills as well as getting your defenders working together as part of a defensive unit." We struggle to have defensive individuals nevermind a defensive unit.

Sign touch and pass players you get touch and pass rugby. Very hard to get the mix right in this league. Good defences mean half decent attack, good attack generally means generous defences. All the players that have both traints are usually snapped up in SL

The only reason Widnes won last night was because they made less individual errors in defence. The ones from Holroyd and Aizue when fielding kicks that led directly to tries were schoolboy stuff and mistakes that simply shouldn't happen from experienced players like those two. Don't get me wrong, Widnes played some good stuff early on and their two pie eaters at 7 and 9 ran the show but it says a lot that 'Fax can play so poorly and still get a bonus point.

Is anyone going to agree with me that the ref was quite biased for Halifax? He did miss a few times for our offside, but Fax were offside MOST tackles, and the amount of high tackles use done which was unseen was pathetic. In my opinion if the ref pulled these, and the few from Widnes, it wouldn't of been as close as it was!

They didn't result in tries though unlike two occasions where he awarded a try, the first when he was 5 yards away and his linesman 20 but allowed the try on his linesman's advice and secondly awarding a try when the arguably better placed linesman signalled no try.

But if he would of pulled them for offside we would of had better field postion and better possession, this resulting in tries!
