Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

A lack of support play was a problem at times, too often players would stand back and admire their teammates rather than come up in support and pose questions for the defence.'"
Agree with that. A good example of that would be the break in the first half where one of our forwards, I forget who (may have been Scruton) off loaded to send Jeffries through; great support play. Unfortunately whilst Newton was inside, he was covered by a defender so Jeffries ran towards the right wing but there was no one to be seen and he subsequently lost the ball.
Late on in the second half Jeffries made a pass to Nero who made a good break for the line but when he met the defender there was no one there to pass to, Jeffries had just stopped moving once he had made the pass.
There was one break in the second half where Koppy powered through and Deacon was right along side him and had the pass got away we'd have been in.
Players need to be looking to back up the man running with the ball so these sorts of chances can be created and finished off. Its this sort of play that catches defenders on the back foot and creates gaps.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.: |
|
| On that showing Sykes will have to go to FB. From within your own 10m line only a FB who is supremely confident in his own abilities or an imbecile (or both) will try to go around the opposition winger in 1m of space.
Did Menzies cover the centre position after that then? The team just changed positions so much I was never really sure.
All part of the grand "utility player" plan then.
Strong feeling of deja vu from last season - did we lose 2 2nd rowers in the first game then as well?

| Dissappointed with the scoreline but IMO the performance was relatively good. Nero had a good game, as did Deacon, Menzies and Burgess. If we play like we did in the second half all season, we just need to think about turning that into tries then we will be in for a good season.

And how long have we been saying that?

Totally agree. We made plenty of half breaks but there was no finish. A player like Michael Withers would've scored a hattrick today simply because he read the game so well and would be on the shoulder of a player who made a half break.
Still on the positive side most of the forwards looked fitter. It'll be a test for McNamara now to get rid of the rustiness and get the combinations clicking a bit better.

Good point, IMO we just need to find a way to turn possession into tries, i'm still gonna say the last season in terms of our lack of pace. Although it has improved with Worrincy and Sheriffe I still think we need some extra pace in our starting line-up.

Too true. I think in Menzies and Jeffries we have two players who back up well. But we need to see more of the team doing it this year. It's an area we've been poor in for quite some time, it needs to improve this year if we want to beat any of the top sides.

There has not been any signs of it happening the past. I very much doubt it will happen in the future.

Beating the top sides or improving it?

Come on ME. You've been dancing around actually "say it" all afternoon. You must be positively bursting wanting to.
Stop dancing. Stop intimating. Stop choosing your words ever sooooo carefully.
You do know that you will NEVER make 10 game, don't you.
Just say it . . . . .
