The DR players all tried to do too much individual stuff yesterday and didn't integrate with the team plays at all. Kicking over the top on the first tackle (Nicklas) and losing possession when a basic set would have got us over the line, round the back passes close to the line when a simple pass to the winger would have been a try to name 2 things. We had 80% possession in the first half and only coughed it up in their 20m when trying to do miracle stuff close to the line. Seemed the Hull lads expected it to be up to them to win the game instead of playing to the game plan, but that was always going to happen I suppose when they were part of a side which put 60 on us the week before.
I've no doubt at all that if we keep the core of these lads from one week to the next and get them on dry ground the team will win a lot of games and they will play an instrumental part in it, as long as they realise they aren't quite world beaters yet.
Lineham was the pick of the bunch for me, scoring 2 late tries out of nothing really (although the last one didn't get touched down IMO) but he also did some daft stuff like offloading on the first tackle 20m from our line and rushing in from his wing in defence a couple of times.
They'll only get better as a team and players hopefully, and it's nothing that game-time won't fix.
