I’ve picked on Brough but it’s all of them.

However one moment that summed us up did incidentally involve him.

I think we were 18 points down and the game not totally lost. We get a lucky penalty and get up Field in their 30. Second ball I think Brough puts out a terrible pass to Miller, he drops it. No pressure on either player, pure basics and we balls up and that’s what’s been happening for weeks.

Yes our defence ain’t great, we’ve had injuries, I get all that bit nothing excuses continually failing to do the basics.

I simply don’t recognise this team from the one at the start of the season and certainly not previous seasons.

It’s like we expect other teams to go ‘oh you poor things your having a tough time and you’ve been so good in recent years. I’ll tell you what we’ll all roll over and die to make life easier for you’.

Yeah because that’s how pro sport works.

Remember the incident but thought it was Randal that threw the pass. Not watched it back so cant confirm it.

Definitely Brough. I remember it too.
It was an awful pass

Yes, definitely Brough.
Having said that, Miller was pretty static at that point and probably should still have taken the pass, even though any move would have been dead in the water.
Although top players wouldn't have thrown such a poor ball, equally, they would have been capable of taking the pass.
Our basic passing skills and ball retention have been shizzle for weeks now and none of the players seem to be busting a gut to remedy the situation.
It will be interesting to learn just what the club, players and coaching staff will do in the week off.
Should they go for some intense work, team building or be told to get away from the rugby scene for a few days to try and clear their heads.

According to social media a few are on holiday, probably a good thing.

They have 5 days off. Looks like Rocky is in Ibiza.

Rocky must have gone straight to the airport from the game as he was on a sunbed in Ibiza at about 8am! lol

But it's the compound effect. We don't build pressure because we can't even hold the ball, we take the pressure off them, we lose any momentum.

You can't turn us back into a winning team overnight not with the injuries and lack of form we have, but the basics are always achievable.
