Quote: christopher "The one thing Smith could fix from last year was the pack, and clearing out he’s done that which as you say has highlighted the things he needs to fix from this year.
I want us to be in the top positions this year but having said that Smiths brief was always a long term one.
Fans clamoured for youth to be given a go, well fine i agree but that strategy is not a quick fix'"
Fixing the pack was absolutely the priority.
And he has done that.
On paper this pack should be a match for any in the league.
The problem is that in reality, they are not.
The debate is whether that is down to the quality of the players or the way they are being coached to play.
I really feel that the lack of line speed and intensity and the passive defence is letting the opposition pack dominate ours.
