The biggest positives from today for me are.
1. Some notable team spirit and pride.
2. The backbone to absorb alot of possession and pressure on our line without conceeding.
3. Decent halves!! With a good kicking game (we'll forget about the failed touch finding attempt!!)
4. Good kick chase.
5. Good defensive control of the ruck.
6. Effective and controlled exit sets.
7. A pack that got stuck in.
8. We appeared around 30% fitter than Castleford
Negatives.
1. Inability to build any sort of defensive pressure or link back to back sets.
2. Constantly letting them off the hook with penalties, and consequently gifting them good field position.
3. Still think our last tackle attacking options need more work.
We need to sort out the negatives ASAP. If we gift a better team that much field position and possession we'll definitely be in trouble!!
Overall. A step in the right direction! Think Wigan next week will give us a better idea where we are tho.
