Quote: lothlorian "i didnt, i put it down to two. wire never looked liked threatening from anywhere but within out ten meter line. they lead super league for tries scored in the red zone. due to our kicking game and poor discipline we allowed them this field position, and for them to attack in the area they are pretty much unstoppable. ( and we gave it a good effort). would there pack of been so dominate having to play out of their own twenty all game. no. unfotunately they were playing from their 40 every set due to our poop kicking.'"
That's spot on.
I was in southport last night and watched the game this morning, our kicking was absolutly terrible. Straight dow Riley's throat most of the time.
They seemed to have a bit more fire than us, the Andersons where flying all over the place hitting people as hard as they could, and they made it difficult for us to play rugby agianst them.
We didn't play for territory once, we never drilled the ball into touch and made them bring it out, and they smashed Fielden to make him inneffective.
At the end of the day they where smarter than us and targeted the right people. We missed the good smith, if the good smith had turned up we might have made more of those sets on their line early on
