Positives from today......
1) We saw forwards run with aggression
2) We saw half backs who run the line and create holes
3) We saw a great kicking game
4) We saw quality defence
unfortunately all from Leeds. Agar and Rule say we have a team to compete for major honours. Today proved how far away we are. Our 'Big Pack' got dominated. We look clueless ball in hand. A guy next to me summed it up when he said ' The players look like 13 blokes pulled off a park - none of them expect a pass'.
At one point we had near 30 tackles on Leeds line. Yes we scored but for 29 tackles we had nothing. Without the penalties (some dubious) we would never had scored. leeds however looked like they could have scored every time they attacked. So much the score board flattered us.
And the pictures of our coach on the big screen slouched back in his chair looking puzzled, summed the game up.
Previously, arguably our best player the last 2 matches, Moa, holds tackle bags before the match, to only warm a stand seat while Dowes, Radford and Cusack offer as much go forward as Gordon Brown, all feature without fail.
A 2 year contract in the bag. We should today a lack of ideas, aggression, speed that top sides are coach. Here's to 2 more baron years!!!
ps - Thank god for Willie. A true class player.
