| We didn't need a Plan B yesterday, we needed the possession and field position to implement Plan A. Too many errors in our own half and poor last tackle kicks meant we hardly got either.
I don't buy that our attack is becoming too predictable at all. When we were at our best we had the deep line with Sam out the back plus runners going in to holes. It obviously can't work everytime as the better defences will read it correctly, but do it enough and it results in tries. We used a similar pattern for Thornley try and that was pretty much the only opportunity we had near their line where the right passes were chosen and executed.
Our attacking plays don't need overhauling, we need to get the basics right so we get enough opportunities to utilise them.

I think our attack is completely predictable. It's always a couple of passes out the back with Sam then running round and stepping, or passing. Every time we had possession yesterday I knew what was going to happen.

I'd agree with that, most team's plan B is look for a bit of individual brilliance from a star player - your star player was well marshalled last night. For me it was Warrington's defence that won them the game as it was against Saints, it was aggressive and meant you could never really settle or get a roll on. Form is a temporary thing though so I wouldn't be crowing them champions just yet

I think that's a cleaar example of momentum as you,ll see. Bert was running full tilt.at he point he released it to Jonas who was well behind him. His hands were.backwards

Backwards? Did you watch it in a mirror?

The replay showed Hodgson's hands releasing the ball forwards. That's why it was so clear cut.

It really isn't! If we set up properly everytime the ball reaches the 2nd receiver there's then an option for the short ball to Hock/Hansen or out the back to Sam, who can then go himself or pass to Goulding/Carmont. If it was so predictable we wouldn't have scored so many points this season. Yesterday wasn't about us being too predictable, it was about us not getting in to positions to put our plays on, and the few opportunities we did the passes weren't sticking.

| It doesn't matter if we had a plan A, B, C or D yesterday, if you continually drop the ball, give away penalties and miss tackles you will get beat when you play a Wire or a Leeds.
We need to go back to basics for these next 6 games and make sure we cut out the silly errors and we will have a great chance of being crowned Champions at OT

| We seemed to be panicing and thus making mistakes. Guess that happens when you have as little ball as we did.

Where is this so called “momentum rule” is it in the rule book? Don’t listen to that Dewsbury dew-drop Stevo; he sees things no one else does. He also says things like, a kicked ball can dissect the winger and fullback; DISSECTED, does he mean BISECTED? I thought when you dissected something you cut something up, like a dead body. If he’s right there must have been a lot more blood than usual on the pitch. He said a player couldn’t forward pass to himself! Well if that’s true they must have been playing gridiron.

| The momentum rule may apply if a pass is less than a yard forward, but Hodgson's pass was at least 3/4 yards forward - the 20 metre line shows this. Hodgson was well behind the line when he passed and Monaghan was a few yards (at least!) in front of the line when he caught the ball.
