Charlie it's all the Leythers fault.

I blame Leigh for getting us too over confident, if you lot hadn't been so bad when you played us we wouldn't have got so carried away.

Rob has his weaknesses and Mark Ashton will know what these were and still are better than most coaches.
Without these he would have been snapped up by a SL club by now.


Unfortunately to exploit them it does not take some deep "cunning plan" or ingenius coaching strategy.
You just boot the ball as high as possible as often as possible in his direction knowing that he regularly knocks on or gets out jumped.
Sheffield have it off to a tea, the only ways to stop it are to put pressure on the kicker, give him some protection and to spend hours on the training field catching the dam thing, if he were to take a few and return them with interest as he can then they may think twice about doing it.

PS. I'm not John, that's the other guy who often gets mistaken for George Clooney.

Charlie I will be at the LSV but sadly not in Legends bar, we tend to go in the bar at Leigh East
Hoping a good friend of mine, over from Australia and a Swinton fan will be with us.

Re: V Sheffield : Sat May 25, 2013 4:06 pm  

Brambani's kicking game and our inability to catch, (Worrincy & Fieldhouse), Henderson putting in an almighty performance, and Sheffield's line speed in defence were our downfall last night. It looked like a lack of 'heart' from some of our team, but I thought Thackeray played well. Tried damned hard to slow them down and certainly put in the tackles. There was too much shooting out of the line and leaving gaps big enough for a super-tanker to go through. I have no doubt that many players are competing with injuries, and it is unfortunate that our squad isn't big enough to cope with that.

Onwards and upwards.

As i said couldn't make the game.

How did our bench do, did it have any real impact or just stay the same?

We seem to be a bit light at the moment.

I am convinced that before we lost Robbo and later Adamson having that extra size kept us on top in the forwards for longer periods.

If we could get Morro, Robbo and Luke Adamson back and possibly Micky Nan in the centres the extra grunt could make a difference.

What do you guys think?

Agree, but two-points, whenever Bambini kicked high in the first half Rob had no cover and yet there were three men on him on both occasions same in the second half with Patterson. Point two yes Thackeray put in a lot of tackles but he also can be guilty of "shooting out of the line"
The biggest brain f"rt was when Scott kicked on the first tackle, even if Patterson had caught it he wouldn't have got far.
I still say take two points when offered, I think that would have put us in a different position, two more points and ball back.
As you say, onward and upward, hopefully.
