One thing that baffled me with our tactics last night. : Sat Feb 14, 2009 8:20 am
What i did find a bit strange last night with our tactics is we failed to capitalise on St Helens having a makeshift left hand side of a 2nd rower playing at left centre and a teenager making his debut on the wing, in the main we played down the middle but when we did decide to move the ball or put a kick in the majority of those things were aimed at the experienced Matt Gidley and Ade Gardner on the right.
If you remember last year Matt King limped off injured when we were away at St Helens so we then moved Andy Bracek to left centre to partner Kevin Penny, Saints had a field day down that side as they targeted our inexperience which was hardly a suprise, its just suprising that between Jimmy Lowes and Nigel Wright we didn`t try similar last night as most things seemed to be aimed at the St Helens right hand side.
