Plenty to be happy about in there. Some great attack (and defence) on show.
A game, dare I say, we'd have probably lost last year.
As stated, the pressure conversion in to points isn't quite happening just yet. I'm hoping it's just down to the players needing to click / gel.
Other factors for consideration:
1. Poor weather
2. Heavy Pitch
3. A workman like opposition (they always have caused us problems. I even seem to remember beating by the same scoreline at the height of our success, circa 1999?)
4. The stomach bug - the players will certainly have not been reading "tank full" on the fuel front, even a week on. Was this why Halley wasn't in the 17?
Lastly, another Silverwood issue - the obstruction. We got pinged twice (or was it 3 times) in the first half, for just running behind the man, IMO there was no real obstruction. He then forgot about it for the rest of the game and let worse go!??
