Especially playing with Berrigan

Like his passing for a start.

I could see it as it was right in front of me. Not one player followed his run. It happens a lot, and not just to Houghton. It seems that we expect not to break tackles or step through gaps so no one supports the man with the ball.

It might be wishful thinking but I hope Agar works on ths over the close season.

Way too slow - needs work. A straight pass from the ground rather than adjusting it before the pass would help. I think Berrigan's distribution could be faster as well.

I always liked Richard Swain's one step and pass. The defence didn't know if he was going to take the ball up or pass.

Ive played the game when i was younger and have watched a fair bit of junior rugby recently, they support the ball carrier expecting a pass.

I dont understand how a team suddenly decides they wont, or need telling to? Its a basic skill. (same as defensive linespeed etc)

We haven't done that for 3 years as our points for column knows only too well. Saints were the masters of pushing through the line as a group on the back of a fast ptb with support both sides of the ball carrier. Think we've been too lazy as a team to work for each other.
