Despite us being very poor (and the 2nd best team), we still could have snatched it with 10 to go.
Take out LMS’s hatful of ridiculous penalties and errors, we may have even led earlier on. Hell, if Jordan Turner (a normally very good finisher) doesn’t lose that ball, things could have turned out very different. Its hard to be too critical of LMS as he obviously tries very hard, but he’s full of stupid (and pressure relieving) mistakes. Maybe he’s doing too many minutes and the fatigue is addling his brain.
However, we are (again) being totally out played at the ruck. We never show the ability to slow the oppositions PTB, whilst allowing them to slow ours. This is the greatest problem we have by far.
Walsh simply is not offering enough. He’s not injecting himself into the game, sitting back, 10 yards from the line and then offering a laboured drop off is doing nothing. His long kicking is not happening, either, being out shone by Wilkin and Turner (and Sandow). We’d be better moving Wilkin to 7 and taking the extra big man.
We look rubbish. But we did last week and beat Wigan. We also looked rubbish this time last year and won the whole thing. I find it hard to believe that will happen again this year, but I said the same last September.
