Quote: Mirfieldbull "IMO most of their tries came from 2nd phase plays from offloads in the centre which we didn't get to grips with, then as we scrambled they moved the ball into support runners in space. Can't remember any really bad defensive mistake where someone flew out of the line unless they were trying to defuse a 3-1 overlap as Ainscough tried once & failed.'"
Agree with that mate, the offloads killed us. It can be a bit risky but they rode their luck on occasion and to be fair did it pretty skilfully. I wouldn't blame the defensive pattern at all, even though over eighty minutes there was obviously the odd glitch.
It was the same last week when we had people after the Leeds game saying the defence was poor, but again it really wasn't; what killed us in that game was lost ball when we were in possession, take away the walk ins when no defence was set and that game was wide open.
