Quote J.T="J.T"Again with the greatest of respect to all involved how long can it take to learn our structures? If Moore plays he will be creating our structures. Can't see any harm in throwing him in it will be a bit like sink or swim but if he has the arrogance that some have suggested then he should be alright.'"
It is about building up playing relationships with others, the coach putting across his ideas, other players learning how he likes to play, him learning their preferences too. Creating playing structures isn't easy mid-season when you have a Sunday to Friday turn around, especially when there are other players in and out of the side due to injuries, form etc...
One thing that is key is getting a player/s who can organise defence as much/more than as anything in attack. Twenty points yesterday 'could' have been enough to win that game had we not conceded so many soft tries due to our lack of a sliding defence, the inability to close down overlaps two or three plays ahead of the try being scored. Catalans love to hug the touchline with their Wingers, and we weren't savvy enough to learn that throughout the game.
It is one thing us blaming the ref for his inability to control a game, but the ref didn't let in any tries - even if some seemed like forward passes. That is always going to be the case, some for us, some against us. No conspiracy.
A loud vocal full back in the style of Wellens, an organising half back like Briers or Brough, those are the values in which we need to emulate - players who can get the others forming an effective defensive line, and not bunching up ineffectively. Now I know those players aren't available, but the knowledge is in the game to get players developed to be able to control and organise a team's defensive line.
