Quote: pmarrow "Ok, so if we shipped the ball about like Harlem globetrotters (whilst actually not creating any chances) do you think we would have had the fitness in the last 20 to see the game out after such a short turnaround.
We didn't dominate as much as we would like but thought in the end Radford got it right, made sure we had it defensively and had the ability to turn our field position into points.
Smith is a great coach but he can't teach teams to defend, I think when he won the WCC he conceded 32 points. So to say he is streets ahead is way off the mark. We are 2 from 2 and looking great defensively at the moment and Radford deserves credit for that.'"
Couldn’t agree more. Smiths plan was pretty simple really, we can’t stay with them down the middle so work Hulls big men by chucking the ball around side to side.
It was easy to defend against as long as we kept our line with nobody jumping out which we did except that Crooks try.
