Well!!! have we all got things off our chest now
Maybe coming to the realisation that we have had a mid season blip and our squads not infallible, cover is thin at halfs and 9, and Murrell is the orchestrator and chief of our on field ambitions.
As far as the league goes were in a good position now, Fev and Sheffield have distractions, we should have players coming back to fitness, Karl now knows that anything but first choice in some keys areas doesn't work and the players now know that anything but committed, disciplined and composed rugby with a bit of urgency to get up and play the ball quickly just wont cut it at this level. I still think we'll win the league shield, the GF is another matter though, Fev and Sheffield have game breakers and people that can run the show more consistently than our lads 'at present'.
I expect Karl to already be shoring up our weaknesses behind the scenes, but it will have to stay behind the scenes, Oh and Gorgeous George! well I too wonder whether he hates us because he was once bullied by a lad from Fax as a kid
but the reality is most likely that referees all ref a slightly different way, some are keener on certain areas than others, Im afraid in all sports you have to do your homework on refs and play them as well. With some its, taking sides back, offsides, others its tackle technique, forward passes, play the balls, standing square. George allows sides to slow the game down too much for me and I think that frustrates us and we get pinged for silly stuff and lose our edge and field position at critical times. Im getting tired of a lot of refs for allowing 3rd and 4th men to come in once the tackle is complete and slow the play down even more, we've have to be smarter in the contact area when George refs.
