The pressure on our own line is from errors and penalties rather than our defence this week

I wouldn't mind the approach, but it doesn't look like they practice their catching and passing, or anything else for that matter. The basic fundamentals of this side are horrendous.

Lisone is a joke ,

Could not get back onside at any play the balls and Sangare is just not trusted to play many minutes

The stats show we score our points in the second half, looks like the aim is to stay in the game in the first half and finish stronger. Rope a dope if you will, but two of our forwards took themselves out of the game, other players have switched off in defence and possession.

The squad is bobbins, uncle Gary is doing it on the cheap, I wish the coach all the best as I am excited by this different way of playing the game, but based on the anger here, he might be another coach who takes the blame on his way out.

i know thats what i was alluding to. no kick pressure either.

your happy with this style of play?

despite it blatantly not working!!!

We play better in the second half and nothing is won in May.

Kind regards

i dont know how he cant after turning these same performances out everyweek under the instruction of his philosophy

Get your nut down and hit the line hard. Amazing really

Holroyd our best player by a mile.
If only the other props had the same aggressions.

Rugby really is a simple game, run hard tackle hard.

We're such a weird team!

no idea why we never start with this intensity, or run with this aggression. we look a million times better when we do the RL basics we'll, and not the stupid stuff smith wants

weve enough talent to not have to get so far behind in the first half.

Look what can happen when we cut the errors out!
Shows that the actual game-plan is probably right!

How does a team with no line speed give away so many penalties for offside?

This is obviously the Smith way.
Hang in for the first half and up the intensity in the second half.
But a better side would have been out of sight in the first half.

And IMO, the passive approach in the first half is leading to errors, mistakes and giving away penalties.

Soft penalty against Austin in the build up there

Where was the high shot from Austin?

Results show whether a game plan is right

A brain explosion from Newman there.

Newman needs taking down a peg. Don’t like that even if it’s put us back in the lead.

Nevermind Harry

This has become an end to end game.
But my god, the standard is very poor for a SL game.
