lo

But what about that old addage "dont kick the dog up the bum whilst you have your fingers in its mouth"



The trouble with only scoring more than you concede is that we are doing that in some games but then letting the opposition get the dreaded bonus point, hence our defence could have made the league even better for us.

Without the dreaded bonus point in existence the top six would be

Fev 24 points
Fax 20 points
Leigh 18 ponts
Barra 16 points
Seff 12 points
Wid 10 points

Now that looks better.

were not going to be able to score a bundle of points in a play off game htough, even if we do its not going to happen all the way through the play offs.

we will have to score at least 24 points to win with our defence

For me our biggest problems are the amount of yards teams are making against us in the tackle, that was especially evident in the Fev game where we would have 2 men in the tackle but the Fev player would still make 5-10 metres while being held, and then the amount of offloads that the opposition are getting out even when we have 3 in the tackle, simple logic suggest that one goes chest high to clamp the ball and the other takes the legs and voila, both problems solved. One thing Feb did exceptionally well on Thursday was holding our players in the tackle without completing it until their defensive line had got back to its positions, we should copy this which would help with our lying on problems. Then we need a few players to learn Shads move so its not just him who pops up at the end of it and then we aren't telegraphing it so much. So that's this weeks training schedule sorted, I look forward to massive improvement.

I look forward to seeing all these improvements when we play Dewsbury on Sunday 27th, but I won't hold my breath
