Today's Game (York) : Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:42 pm
Some good things offensively today, but we need to smarten up in defence. We seem to have gone away from our early season defensive structures. Danny Jones missed a few tackles today and seemed a tad shy in defence. Our left hand side looked weak defensively. A slow start from the Boys today and we only seemed to move up the gears after Moss' wonderful try saver on the right edge.Seeing Mick O'Neill at half time in that same hat from 93 was worth the entrance fee alone. As an MC you either have it or you don't and he has it in abundance. It brought back memories for me of that famous day. If only Mick and Mike were involved now?! Nice to see the heritage day given some prestige.
The second half was a bit error strewn from both sides (and the ref!). How man times did King plant his elbow in the prone players face. Seemed ironic he went off with an apparent elbow injury. We seemed to do enough in the second half to win it and we exposed their left hand channel. Interesting to see Richie in the centres. Defensively he put himself about today and had one of his better games in a Cougars jersey.
3 points in the bag, but we need to work on a few things before Sheffield. A tough run in now..................
