Quote: JamieRobinson1234 "I can't quite fathom how this has been deemed as a negative?
We haven't been solely relying on "Max's moves" - which in itself is a poor interpretation of a 5-6 man set-play that works 90% of the time starting from the aforementioned "one up drives". The conditions / pitches haven't allowed us to be throwing tips plays or 40 yard passes so we have had to play conservative and then play more dynamically when the time is right - which we have done successfully.
The Lino-Griffin partnership has shown promise, we have already shown that Pitts, Cozza, Doyle and Ashurst can ball play as well as having Hood and Smith become part of the attack if necessary. We have had 22 different try scorers with 19 different assisters in 8 different games already in 2024.
If it's variety you're wanting, I'm not sure what else you're looking for.'"
Agree with that, the only thing I would like to see is more set plays on the right edge. Lino > griffin seems the go to move but I would like to see more set plays to create overlaps on that edge. That said we have had little consistency with the right edge with personnel. The second row has seen Griffin, Pitts, Vagana and the centre and wingers most weeks have changed. Perhaps this will come with consistency on that edge.
Either way you have to be happy at the early signs across the whole team. With so many new signings this team has a lot of potential to realise yet.
