Quote ="Saddened!"I said on Twitter it was a tale of two coaches. At half time, Leeds were arguably the team on top. You were offloading at will and causing us a lot of problems. But Agar at half time tells them to stop throwing it about and stop making mistakes. You then seem incapable of moving the ball up the field and just collapsed under the pressure we applied. Holbrook clearly knew what he thought was missing from our performance in the first half, Agar just had a mare.
I think if he tells them to just keep it going Leeds would have stood a far better chance. I think Saints superior fitness and you being a prop down might eventually have told, but the game was made easy by whatever happened in the shiny new sheds at half time.'"
See I honestly think it’s the opposite. I think it’s because we were throwing it about and not applying any pressure whatsoever in the first 20 mins that gave Saints the opening they needed.
We were very poor with the ball in the first 20mins and not much better after that. Yes the ball was going wide but it was stilted and unthreatening because we hadn’t done the hard yards first and that told as the game went on.
