Too many bang average players who are too slow at distributing or have a complete inability to look for a pass, the movement was pedestrian has been all year. Second row has been no attack with the exception of the odd line ran well by Ashurst/pitts, a second row of Griffin and Tanginoa would have made a big difference but seemingly Applegarth doesn't pick a team on ability but by player power. Tanginoa yes injured most of the season.
Hood couldn't pass the parcel and stifles all the play immediately, which kills any attacking opportunity for the halves and instantly increases the pressure on them to do something, leading to a mistake, aside the Warrington game I can't think of another game Hood has been effective in, Kay at loose doesn't work, Atoni had a good game there so typically changed that the next game, just like the team after each win got swapped around.
At the end of the day get what you pay for inexperienced coach who has zero charisma, zero leadership and zero clue on how to change things. every press conference was copy and paste, every performance by the players on the pitch was copy and paste all that changed was the team after a win.
Its been a long time coming has relegation and hopefully it will allow a mass clear out of all the 'jobs for the lads' with a complete refresh and reset
