Today was almost an exact reversal of our meeting with KR last season. They are flying high in the Championship, and have the resulting confidence. We are struggling in SL, and have the resulting lack of confidence.
Somehow the coaching team and players need to get back to the defensive commitment and skill, shown against Saints, Huddersfield, Salford and Warrington - and even at Wigan.
For my money, the major problem lies in attack. Scores of 6; 10; and 10, in our last three games, tells a story. We seem totally incapable of exerting any pressure at all, inside our opponents' 20 metre area. The number of times we dropped the ball, passed it to the opposition, chucked it forward, and conceded penalties in possession in that area, beggars belief. We need to be able to control play, on attack, and build up pressure on the opposition, who are having it easy, on defence.
How we cope with what appears to be a serious lack of pace, won't be easy to solve though!
P.S. We seem to play much better at night!!
