Got to be as a combination one of the most clueless slowes spines we have had for a long time.The only way we seemed to make ground was by kicking on the last ,35 \40 yards away from our try line.Weather it was with ball in hand or passing through hands every thing was so slow resulting in not been able to make space to get our three-quarters away (did the wingers get a pass) and making it easy to defend against..The three-quarters looke big but do not seem fast enough to get across in defence to cover Think we have a team of tackeles but offer very little in attack from long range .We had some players out but nothing to improve our attack .School boy howlers cost us big time but just covers over a team that are going to struggle this year
Well their first try was a gift it should have been cleared by they got lucky. TJ's second try was dubious to me but given.
We had chances to win it but let's be fair they were quicker, more organised, and deserved to win.
We HAVE to get smarter.
You have to play players to see what they can do and my personal opinion, after last night is that Smith is a half back, Gaskell is more of a centre than a SO and Kershaw should replace Lineham. I'm not blaming Lineham for TJ's tries but I feel Kershaw offers more in taking the ball up than Lineham did last night.
It's the first match but there will have to be a drastic improvement if were not to get a good hiding at Wigan.
