Struggling to complete sets as expected

Well we managed 22 mins before they scored, but it’s been coming for the last few minutes. For all the ball we’ve had, we’ve not really offered any threat at all, they have been comfortable in defence. We don’t seem to be making enough ground when we have it to be able to spread the play out.

Let’s hope that we can fight back.

Our pack should be doing better but we seem to drop the ball or poor 5th kick if we get there.
Should be looking to trap them in goal and force repeat sets. Instead we seem to be starting sets deep.

Sounds like Hooley is doing better than last time which is good

Why the hell did Handley tap that back instead of catching it and dropping to score?

Brain fart/ lack of concentration I'd guess

Nice reply, not giving up

Far from a classic performance, we’re just in front but how much have we got left? Leigh look more dangerous with the ball I’d say, but we’ve got our noses in front.

Think Hooley and Roberts have gone well. Sezer and Smith have tried to step up and lead.

We’ve been close on a couple of those last tackle kicks.

All in all not bad. Just need to offer a bit more threat.

Re: RD 21 | Leigh Leopards (A) : Sun Aug 06, 2023 2:53 pm  

Hooley is looking ok.

I think Leigh will tire in the second half they’ve done a lot if defending and our Bench forwards should get over them.

How much work is MacDonald getting through!

I think our attack was always going to be a bit clunky without Myler, but we need to be offering more than we are
