Quote: Dave K. "Watched the game again last night, actually on 2nd viewing with beer and emotions I thought we played pretty well, better than the last few games amd has we played like that against Lomdon and Cas we would have won.
Didn't get much off the ref, think our first penalty was 60 minutes and 6 again 70. Also lost our left hand side and played the 2nd half with Lane and Litten.
Not much between the two sides apart from patience, they built pressure, forced repeat sets whilst we went all or nothing.
Ese Ese was outstanding, thought Aydin, Sao and Scott played well too.
Moy is very lively and with the right coaching and S&C could be a good SL player.
Think our attack whilst not perfect has improved with Trueman and Reynolds.
As mentioned in another thread for the right price I'd keep Reynolds as a back up next season.'"
I think generally you’re looking better under Grix than under Smith. Apart from his first game, when he’d had least time to implement anything new and you were playing one of the very best teams, the score lines have got a lot more respectable.
London played with energy and implemented a decent game plan against you. Cas just looked a bit better than Hull for most of that game and the rubber band effect on the final score probably slightly flattered the B&Ws. The comeback against Hudds though meant the score ultimately reflected the general parity of the contest.
Deakin, Hudds hooker, was playing just his third senior game and is regarded as long-term project… but in fairness, you outscored them when he was replaced by Golding. If a couple of passes had stuck, it could have been a different result.
