Quote ="propunker"There looked to be no passion or desire to win the game from the majority of players in the last 20 minutes tonight, Morrison, Menzies, Tadulala Nero and Kopczack were about the only players who played with any determination.
Like a lot of people are saying, we've got a very capable pack, but no idea whatsoever how to score. We aren't conceding a lot of points, mostly due to our discipline and ability to get the fundamentals right, but we've also scored less points than everyone barring quins. We're desperately lacking any initiative or mobility in the halves, when the ball gets to Jefferies any flow just seems to stop.
McNamara has some very big problems to sort out very quickly if we're going to win games this season. If we don't see a turnaround in the next couple of weeks It's going to be another pointless season.'"
Quite true. I have never been a fan of Ben Jeffries. He just doesn't have that skill or little bit of extra that's needed. To be honest, I would have rather kept Iestyn Harris on a reduced contract. At least Harris knew what to do with the ball. Like you say, when Ben Jeffries recieves the ball, everything just dies. I know some people view him as a scrum half, but to me it doesn't matter where he plays because he just doesn't have that little bit extra that we are looking for. I wouldn't even consider him adequate back up.
I thought we looked more dangerous when he went off and Steve Menzies played there agaisnt Hull Kingston Rovers and I hope to god that Greg Bird wins his court cases without any charge because I can't see much going our way if we have to endure another season of Ben Jeffries..
