dont think our pack did too bad but its hard to gain yardage when its one man all the time. saints and other teams gain more by expanding play to the second rowers/centres and getting the ball away from the ruck area. allows quicker rugby,quicker play the balls and more yardage. simple but effective sets work well like this.

Spot on that. We need to invest in a permanent scout over in aussie. I'll do it for a few quid and report back. Job done.

It really annoys me when the opposition score and our heads go down, theirs no one trying to lift the lads in the huddle behind the sticks.

100% agree that we have no leader to fire the team up but i do think our fans could help more; if we really got behind the team when their heads go down i think we could make more of a difference

We haven't had this since Mr Mallison left for the dark side. Which also saw us become less agressive, less hungry, less passionate, have less desire and pride in the shirt, unifit and injury prone.

Thought it for a while that Billy was one of the guys who really ripped into them and got the best out of them, every time we conceded a try he was behind the post barking orders and dishing the dirt. Since he left, all of the above seemed to go with him.

Hate to say it but, look at the way Rovers aply themselves to the task in hand and how they seem to be able to remain fit and pretty much injury free.

I for one think Billy has a lot to do with this.

Wasn't mallinson around when we had horrendous injury problems under mcrae? And wasn't one of the main reasons for moving him on because of the injuries in 2007?
