That's an interesting insight and explains our disjointed attack, assuming that's a typical on field session. Given our defence is already the best in the league then you could say it's time we did some more work on our attacking options than we are doing.

If I had to pick one single thing, out of quite a few, then I would pick the sheer number of times this season when we have given the ball away in "absolutely no excuse" plays.

Quite a few against Keighley - kickoffs being 5 or 6 of them - but stuff like coughing up the ball on the zero or first tackle, letting a kickoff bounce dead, endlessly failing to get anywhere near completing sets, that sort of stuff is what's frustrating the hell out of me especially at this stage of the season.

I offer no clue why it keeps happening, or how you cut it out.

Wakey probably had it right. Kear also did the defensive coaching with Chester and other coaches doing the attack. One day that might happen with us if Kear moves up and a younger coach such as Ford came in. Just throwing that one in for discussion!

Great post!

Well the current mode of play will not sell season tickets for sure. Its utterly depressing to watch.

IF (by hook or crook) we get in the Championship - that may trigger sales - but only based on hope - not performance.

Bullinenemyland referenced the lack of training time in the evening further up the thread, so I'd guess this is something to do with some of the lack of 'well practiced' attacking moves. We are actually the highest scorers in our division (?)though, despite all our perceived failings, so I'd guess that management are fairly happy - though I'm equally sure they must be able to see the same faiings and lack of cohesion as us.

What you guys are saying about Kear rings bells in my head of Jon Sharp at Featherstone. Got them into the Qualifiers last year despite being predicted to just miss out, and immediately left the club with talk from the chairman about getting results but playing boring rugby and not being attractive to fans.
