Watching today, in my opinion, here's a starter list of the BASIC things that need improvement.

1. Play the ball is too slow. By the time the dummy half has picked it up, the other team has advanced the 10 and is on top of us.
2. In contrast, our defence doesn't move up. Instead we wait for the attacking team, giving them easy yards every tackle.
3. One man rugby. Because of 1, our attack tends to be drive, drive, drive, drive, under pressure kick.
4. Our attacking kicks were terrible. Not only were the kicks poorly positioned, the chasing was equally poor.
5. No enthusiasm in returning kicks. Compare Sean Briscoe running head down full tilt to Craig Hall's gambolling amble.
6. Here's an easy one. Poor penalty kicks to touch. 10 metres each time. You can hear the crowd's groans.
7. Defending high kicks. Is there a single player in the hull team who can field a high kick ? Easy tactics for the other team.
8. Straight down the middle. Do our wingers ever get a pass ?
9. No enthusiasm. In the first half, Hull KR wanted it, we didn't.
10. Laziness. In the first five games, our second row were on fire, they now don't look interested. Is this because they were expecting the arrival of Crocker/Lauki and were playing for places. Now that it looks like neither is arriving any time soon, the effort has gone.

Feel free to add more.

Forwards ambling in when taking the ball up when everyone else's forwards seem to sprint at the opposition

Complete lack of leadership offered by any player in the squad.

Too many pointless scoots from dummy half in any given set of six, it's easy to defend against.

That inside ball to Tickle/Radford has got to be the most ineffective play we have.

Har har, you knew what i meant.

Knock the 5 drives and a kick on the head. It's predictable and isn't working.

Run **into** the tackle, don't stop before it. Show some commitment.

Play to the whistle.

Don't think that just because we've had 2 x 40/20 this year that you don't need to try another one.

Try and make more yards on the penalty kicks to touch (a la Danny Brough). Yes - there may be an occasional one where we don't make touch but we need to be making more than 10 yards on a kick.

Here's mine. Were Crap.
