Improvement Needed : Fri Sep 20, 2019 10:48 pm
The 2nd half v Cas saved my criticism of our performance, especially in D. Prior to that we were all over the place, running out of ideas and/or looking like we didn’t have a clue.That came back tonight for the majority of that game. Our attack was poor, no direction or cohesiveness. The mistakes we made, which were all too often, will be punished by Saints next week by way of points. We perform like that next week and we’ll be looking at a 12-24 point deficit by half time.
Since Catalans we just seem to have taken a backwards step. Not so much in D admittedly but more so in attack. I thought our subs were managed poorly, IIRC at one time we had no dedicated prop on the field with SOL and Farrell going at prop. Then just after Clubb had his little head to head with Hastings we came out of our own 10 and there wasn’t one forward there to take a ball in. It was taken in exclusively by our backs and then unsurprisingly a poor kick went in.
Improvement, and a vast one, needed by Friday to get any chance of going to OT, never mind winning it.
