Are we just a smash em type of team when the going is tough? : Sun May 20, 2012 9:14 pm
After another defeat because imo we try to go through our opponents rather than go round them we seem to want to put our stamp of authority on them and it aint working.I am beginning to wonder if we play to smash our opposition into submission? We have a poor kicking game like today where were our 40/20s or kicks to the corners for Rob, or even a chip over their constantly offside defence for example?
We seem to go to a one man rugby game in tight situations like today when we should be trying to use the ball rather than the biff.
Have we any moves when near the opposition try line as yet again today we struggled to get over the whitewash and resorted to poor kicks on the last tackle, only one creating a drop out whilst Batley put a few cross kicks in (we did one and Rettie got it wrong) and a couple of bombs although poor ones.
Do we think we are stronger and fitter than our opponents so we can just walk all over them?
