Just wondering if there's some kind of course being run somewhere - Offloading: How To Do It And How To Prevent It - that everyone in the country is attending, with the exception of the Wigan players?

The number of times we had three in the tackle and the HKR player still offloading is a worry, against better teams we would have been punished

Worst team in the league for allowing off loads, and giving away penalty's, would like to see the penalty count today.

Simple fix - communication in the tackle, legs, upper and ball. It’s something that I’ve noticed we are poor at (securing the ball) and against teams such as Saints we need to prevent happening.

We are poor around the ruck in general, the amount of yards teams make against us in that area is frightening.

Re: Offloads : Sun Mar 08, 2020 6:33 pm  

It does seem to be a problem, but only conceded 11 tries in 6 games. 3 of which have been interceptions.

Defence has been pretty solid.

That’s predominantly where props like Walmsley and Thompson like targeting. The gap between 2nd marker and A defender. It’s our biggest weakness by far our ruck defence structure.

Could you please refrain from talking sense. As it will have an effect on everybody else.

It is quite concerning how we allow teams to constantly offload every game however we’ve conceded 74 points in 6 games and 11 tries in them games which is very good and very little of our tries conceded have come from offloads. Not really a big worry for me

If we start losing I dare not think the response on here!!!!

Somehow we are top of the table yet our attack is rubbish (from other threads) as is our defence in the tackle.

I bet every club in the league right now would want our position.

We have J Burgess not performing well so dropped and therefore what is meant to be a top player not in the squad, Flower just coming back, Gildart out, Lockers out, Burgess still clearly coming into fitness, let Greenwood go who not so long ago was the next great thing, a winger (a very good one) still learning the finer details of full back and a new half.

Come on, lets take a reality pill, we are alright and going to get better.

I will concede I dont get the Clubb in Bullock out though, but I suppose Lam and all the other back room staff with 10's of years of experience might have a good idea as to what they are doing.
