I am getting a bit sick of these late comebacks. Against Manly and now Saints twice. It may put a bit of gloss on the scoreline but it is flattering to say the least. Time to start attacking from the outset and I agree we need a proper centre to play with Hall so we can swap him back over with Donald. I am not totally convinced by Hall, he just seems so slow everytime he gets the ball.

I didn't have a problem with him leaving. Its the fact that he doesn't seem to have been replaced. I know we signed Ambler but he's long way off the required standard. But then again most of the players are at the moment.

That's fair enough but we were never gonna match the deal bradford offered and even now he isn't worth it imo.

The team are lacking confidence and are suffering from the after effects of a second loss to Saints and out of 2 cups.

However I come back to the Style of play argument. Our style is now based around defence with little structured attacking plays and no plan B when things are not working. We are relying on Sinfield, Burrow, McGuire, Web or Senior to pull something out of the bag with individual flair and are leaving this until late in a game when it is too late.

We must return to a more positive attacking style with players looking to offload knowing there will be backed up on hand. Defence does not win matches. Without attack, the best defence can do is produce a draw. Saints are playing the best team rugby with great backing up and angles of running and most important quick play the balls. Our players take too long to play the ball with Peacock the worst offender.

Plus the fact most of the dummy runs and players running on to the ball with pace have been none existant thus far.

We have a decent squad but need a couple signings urgently. The preseason preparation does not look to have been good enough and the coaching seems to have been all on defence and none on attack. Early doors this 4 man tackling plan was working until we came up against saints but this plan has now tired out the whole team and we now have a defensive problem as well as no attack.

IMO attack is the best defence as you tire out the opposition and keep the points ticking over. We look devoid of any attacking moves and our game plan appears to be based on keeping the opposition from scoring and hope we get a penalty. Now plan that has obviously failed with 5 defeats out of 11 played not being good enough. There was a time when we could expect to outscore teams no matter how many they scored. Back to the drawing board Bluey
