Quote: the fax in asia "Just watching the game on playback, there were some moves and situations, the kicking both from hand and restarts was mixed for a change( half a season too late), Keyes unlucky in first half when running onto a kick from L J when Fax took a scrum instead of a kick for touch, although a tad early to try and tire the opposing big boys out, but it does tie them up. Unfortunately they were given a lesson in simple game plan, pass and move, and were not helped by some strange refereeing decisions. Ultimately too little too late although Trinity were deserved winners Fax were a tad lucky, bounce of the ball, ball not going to hand. However soft defending gave easy yards and points away. If they had played like that against most other teams they would not be in this pickle.'"
Pretty fair assessment and as I said before add to that taking the short kick off option at that stage of the game when your tiring was perhaps not the right one which shipped in another 3 or 4 scores.
I mean maybe try it once but when you can’t keep them from going full length there’s less chance in doing it from half way or on one occasion when not even making the 10 and conceding the penalty and defending from inside your own 20.
That huge point swing against has now put us behind some of our closest relegation rivals where every point could be crucial.
As playing to a level and avoiding the pickle we’re in that has been the problem and will be tested again this week and so on to the end of the season.
All are games that if Fax were anywhere near close to their best they could get the result, problem is we have rarely been anywhere near close to our best all season.
