I don't think the penalties should be such a concern at the moment. Roby was dreadful and his definitions of what was and wasn't a high tackle for example changed throughout the game. The error and completion rate certainly is a problem though, there have simply been far too many basic mistakes been made. The worst thing about is it seems to affect everyone - if it was just one or two players then you can drop them but when it gets shared around the solution is much harder to find.

There was no organisation on that last set. Why did Tickle take the 4th tackle? He would have been the best candidate for a drop goal rather than Wseterman.

I reckon the former will be higher than the latter.

Dont worry this is basically next years team and coach, cant wait for it already

i was fortunate enough to be sat in the box next to Gentle et al on Monday night and i overheard them saying we completed 1 of the last 7 sets in the first half.

re the drop goal attempt, (also overheard) Gentle called for a full set before the drop goal, he wanted 1 out rugby for all 5 tackles and then Jacob to to take the shot. It obviously didn't work out like that and i got the impression he was hoping Ogre would take the ball on tackle 5 as his ptb had been quicker than anyone else's.
