How's this for an idea ? : Mon Apr 20, 2009 7:51 am  

For once, following a Quins try, we receive the ball from the kick off, we play a full set of six, resulting in a kick down field and a good defensive set ? I think it's called consolidation and it is something alien to us.

We've always been useless on the last tackle, even more so if Randall isn't there to kick it out of play.

Why would we want to do that. Every club in the world starting with the under 10's does it and it seems to work.

I'ts well known after scoring a try concentration goes(listen to Stevo he goes on and on about it- not that what he says means anything) but Clarky has mentioned it which suggests he has some stat on it!! We always seem to let the teams back in for some reason.

No, because we've scored a try it means were really good and to prove it we have to score a miracle try involving the ball going through 18 pairs of hands on the very next set.

Ok, now I get it. It's just that on several occassions this season, we shoot ourselves in the foot. Concentration and composure go out of the window - is driving me mad !

We havent had a quality open play kicker in the halves for years.
