Quote wrencat1873="wrencat1873"Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
A great efforts from both sets of forwards but, Trinity lacked the will to properly attack KR in their own 20.
Plenty of possession and plenty of territory but, woefully lacking in ideas in our opponents 20.
The game swung on two crossfield kicks.
IF Johnstone scores, we win the game but, unfortunately, KR secure the win with the same play on the Trinity line.
Gutted.
WE HAVE to win these games if we are serious about a top 4/5 spot and right now, we dont look quite good enough.
I think that we will improve on the harder drier tracks but, only time will tell.
Cant fault the effort from anyone but, not quite there today'"
Yep pretty much sums it up. We seemed to be trying to play dry weather rugby too much when in their 20 running it on last tackles, speculative long passes etc. The conditions were crying out for broughs short kicking game in their 20 but we never saw a dangerous grubber just aimless kicks into touch.
I also agree with the earlier post about brough taking too much control. Needs to share it out especially when he is trying too hard and making wrong decisions
Only other points are we allowed kr forwards to get easy metres by not moving up in defence and atkin ran us ragged from acting half when he cam on
