Quote ="The Avenger"I couldn’t disagree more!
A win tomorrow will bring some relief but even if we survive this relegation threat, all is not right and big changes are required.
The most dangerous talk on here is that which suggests all our problems stemmed from the injury crisis and when everyone’s fit we’ll be top 5 challengers again. No doubt we will be better but there are deeper issues here than the impact of missing a few first choice players. If we fall for that then we’re setting ourselves up for more perilous relegation battles in the future.
Tomorrow won’t tell us much that we don’t already know!'"
You're probably right Avenger.
I clung onto the injury crisis hoping all would be ok when players returned, but despite some returning things have actually got worse.
It's a bit of a puzzle really because, after the initial London debacle, we did play some outstanding rugby and looked a top 3 team .
The team now really bears little resemblance to what we hoped would be on the park for the season, but the players we put out are good enough to give other teams a game but have not played to the required standard. We lack attacking ideas and our defence has been pathetic. Unfortunately these were not the odd one off below level performances but regular.
You could argue there was a little improvement in the last game BUT Hull were woeful really.
I'm not a coach so don't know the answer but there is a lot to support money motivation as has been suggested on here before.
