After all, it's not rocket science but basic rugby league.'"
What you're suggesting there isn't basic rugby league, it's a gamble. Granted if Keighley did then win the ball it pays off but that is a big IF, fail to win the ball and the opposition are 30 or 40 metres further up field. In tight games you have to play the percentages and giving the opposition easy field position is tactical suicide.

That's an easy one, March at half back.

Perhaps not all of the 'we' can see what is required.
