Quote ="The optimist"I stand by my comments @ the time, you have to earn the right to play, to often @ salford we throw the hollywood ball to early in the tackle count and are punished, this is what happened as hull then marched up to our end and scored minutes later, take the tackle, quick play of the ball with a broken line and hulls defence all at sea we could have done some serious damage just before half time, its a learning curve for the likes of sidlow im sure he would deal with the situation differently when it happens again .
It was a fab break by sidlow and he and jewitt are begining to grow into a force to be reconded with on the field. They arnt the finished article but if they show the same control aggression in the tackle both in attack and defence and they continue to recylcle quality ball for the remainder of the season then they will go a long long way'"
And my headache's back again!
Bobby, I, to a certain extent, agree with you. It's Chris you were mass-debating with...
Imo, and this is all I'm going to say on the issue is, that in order to be a great attacking team at the top level, you have to make the right play at the right time. Work and develop the opportunities and take them when they pop up. Had Sidlow made that pass to Henry, and Henry went onto score, you, as well as everybody else would've said it was the right play. However, he ballsed it up and it turned into a silly play. So, do you stop trying? Not necessarily. All Sidlow can do in future is make sure his skill level is upto the required standard in the event of an opportunity coming up again. Well, that's how the best players in the best teams do it matey.
