And here lies the problem..........

Our pack was well beaten at Leeds and this dictated the pace of the game in their favour. With no room behind the ruck our kicks were rushed and poorly executed in the main, but this does not mean we have no kicking game. Just that, like any team, you need to dominate the middle to give your backs a space to play.

With a few injuries, our pack is not good enough at the moment and this will make many aspects of our game seem poor.

Our distance kicking is absolutely fine IMO with Smith in particular doing a great job in that department especially when we're on top in the forwards.

Our kicking in the opposition 30m recently though has been very predictable and needs looking at.
