With the best pack in SL, then how........ : Sun Jul 05, 2009 6:37 pm  

With the best pack in SL, then how the hell can the Bulls be in such a lowly position? Is it possible that the club with the best pack in SL may not even make the play-offs? http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?t=387683

Whether we have the best pack or not, nobody can deny that they are underperforming (as they are by no means pis$ poor). The reason for our league position is simple for anybody with any RL knowledge. Our backs are pis$ poor.

If you pack isn't going forward the Your backs are limited to what they can do! You could have the best backs in the world but if they have to go the length of the field to score you are gonna struggle, plus the bulls have the worst defence in The comp

You thought you were going to get an argument didn't you? I'm not for a change, I agree partially anyway. But if our forwards aren't going forward then they are being coached wrong or lack motivation. Either way it all leads to a non play-off spot.

No I didn't think that!! I was just saying it's hard to blame backs when you have a turn style defence!! For example beaver has been pretty good for you with ball in hand but his defence is shocking!

I don't think you can call his defence shocking tbh. It's not the best, but when you have Sykes, Sheriffe and Deacon in your team he looks like the best pis$ing tackler in the world.

I'd agree that Bradford's major problem lies in the backs. It was noticeable last week that we were quite prepared to kick the ball dead, and take a 20 restart, rather than always pushing for a repeat set.

That way, our forwards could take a bit of breather and we were challenging Bradford to go 80m to score. With the lack of pace in the side, that's always going to be difficult.
