think it has been the usual story of this season, just cant provide the killer pass in the opposition red zone. if hull can sort that out we will get a bag load of tries. dont help with obst missing tonight though.

don't recall saints kicking game being all that great last night, but still managed to beat us in other areas!

We weren't aggressive enough, our line speed was really slow. To win any saints team you have to get in their faces and we didn't do that at all, tbh saints probably made as many errors as we did but they were more clinical than us.

I think we seriously need some craft around the dummy half, saint's dummy half options last night were far superior. Tickle was my MOM.

Horney was always going to struggle with the loss of Obst imo. With Obst out Horney had to take on the role of organiser, lead kicker and the main source of creativity which arent some his stronger points had Obst being fit Horne would have being free to do what he does best like support the ball carrier, burst through a gap etc...

Your forwards ran hard, but everytime they were barrelling straight into the chest of the tackler, making some yards but not creating much threat past that.
In contrast, the Sainst forward "hit edges" which gave us a few more half breaks, and our halves seemed to balance forward drives with wide ball much better.

At the end of the day, if either team had sharpened up ball retention, they'd probably have won the match easily.

Never thought that we had enough to win the game to be honest. Can't knock the effort but the error-rate and lack of class stood out like a sore thumb and that's why we're scrapping for 8th and you're fighting for 3rd/4th.
