| In attach we're really missing a forward with a passing game. I thought Shorrocks would fill that role but haven't really seen it .
Our pivots are far to easily picked out by an aggressive defence and having a ball playing forward can expose the gaps a rushing defender can make. Our offloading has dropped off a cliff too, when was the last time French or Field were put into a gap up the middle of the field.
We have far too little variety in attack, hence the reason we seem to score the majority of our tries out wide. So easy to ready with an aggressive discipline defence.
A big 2nd rower straightening up the line or some smart passing up the middle with players on the shoulder would make a big difference.
Problem is we are too similar in all our pack, all our props are of the 'grind' variety, Mago who we thought was the point of difference has become the polar opposite of an impact player. Almost 'slow motion grind' , 2nd rows and Loose are small, no impact players. I think we need Nsemba in there and we need to trust him to do a job and play to his strengths, something I feel Peet finds it hard to do with the younger players. Why save Hill's 2nd stint until 5 mins from the end last week - absolutely ;pointless, same with Nsemba's early games coming on for the last 5 minutes.
We need some variety to take the pressure off everything coming through Smith, French's no look passes and Field.

What happens is what I suggested - they get fined. Their actions, their responsibility and their pockets that get hit. Not those of the club, or the fans.
It really is quite simple. Not sure why you can't grasp it?

Care to point out where the ball manufacturers or paying spectators have had to put up with abuse from the players? I've just googled it and, amazingly, nothing came up.

Speak for yourself pal! I have a rule where I do not attend unless Big Bad Brad is playing and I refuse to believe I’m the only one.
