Yeah they kicked a lot early in the tackle count last season, but when kicking for position. This is OK with Danny's kicking game, but this season they seem to panick when near the oppositions try line and kick early rather than build pressure.

yep losing the 'energy' battle that anderson talks about.

on 3 and 4 then it goes straight out of play

brough was ok on thursday with the boot but so far this season poor.

Lack of discipline had been the key factor for me this season. We are giving away field position and making ourselves have to work harder- but they STiLL keep giving away stupid penalties. Baloo needs to get that - and his interchanges- sorted.

We're trying to score off every tackle, which leads to us losing possession, which means we have to defend, we then give a penalty away for something, the opposition score, heads go down, confidence goes which leads to more penalties and lack of discipline, its a nasty vicious circle we're in right now and we need it to change.

get back to basics again, complete sets, kick and chase hard.. no silly pens on the last tackle

Impossible outta their hands im afraid

back to basics for me too, we just haven't made teams work hard to beat us this year at all.
