Quote ="the_grobs"Teams like the Giants and Warrington, 'manage' the play of the ball, in attack and defence, so much better than Cas.
When we play the ball slow and flat to first reciever, Hudd had already closed us down, making it difficult to make any good yards. We need either greater creativity at the play of the ball, more freedom to run from dummy half, or runners coming in from deep to either impact or roll in the tackle to open the defence. (Something that Huby is excellent at, and leading to offloads in the tackle)
In the opposite direction Hudd were so much quicker and stronger in attack. I haven't seen the missed tackles stats, however Cas' stats again would not make good reading.
IMO - We need something to inject the spark again and a lot of work with the tackle bags.'"
Our defence is back to woeful. We have no mental strength or togertheness whatsoever when we are defending. When Danny Brough got the 40/20 it was nailed on they would score from that set of 6. I think we have too many people doing their own thing again.
At the start of the year, we looked a team. Now they aren't working for each other. We are soft upfront, tonight their forwards bullied us off the park. It's no good having a good 5 minutes here and there, they need it for the full 80.
They showed they can do it at the start of the year.
