Indeed, they cant score without the ball. This possibly applies to the rest of the side too.
It shows just how poor and utterly dull our offensive game has been. Its not a criticism of our wingers.
Well some games the forwards have carried us into the opposition 20 on numerous ocassions. Sometimes we have had repeat sets.
Also the wingers as said havent over the course of 8 games had any decent space or ball.
I’m pretty sure our issue lies within the spine positions of 1,6,7,9,13.
I’m far from convinced with Lino either and never have been. He’s the one constant who’s had the most ball and created (other than game 1) absolutely nothing with all that ball. His skip looks class across the line but I’m not sure if that delays and allows defensive cover to come across. I don’t doubt his effort but he is most certainly not an organiser and is more an off the cuff plsyer. He should be playing second fiddle to a half who is able to organise a team and plays.
Someone said that the team don’t appear to know what Lino will do. There could be something in that. Of course it’s not just Lino as I think there are issues at 9 particularly and 13.
I did think initially Kay would have been a good 9 but he’s clearly lacking in the technical side and his strength is running when on front foot. For me he’s not had a successful transition to 9. Won’t doubt his effort but we have an actual 9 waiting in the wings on Bowes who I believe would offer more,
Some decisions need to made for these positions which may not be comfortable but needed.
Nice.....
