What I would observe though is that watching NRL sides, the whole team is in movement together AS a team. The ball carrier often has various options and it keeps defenders guessing. The shape is far superior to SL.
We still have a tendency to give it to the Big Lad and expect him to run through the opposition team; which sometimes works (Hurrell) but is pretty exhausting.
We looked good last night because for once we won the energy battle. Most weeks we’re gassed because we lack structure and then cough up silly penalties and errors on top of that.
Ferres was very good last night but still two soft cheaty penalties conceded when we could have done without it.
When Curhbo plays well we look a different side: but is this transformation truly just down to a change in coach and one new prop..? Maybe.
