Quote: Yippee try yay "One major thing that showed up for me was pace (or lack of) we've no speed in the halves or centres. Carlos got done for speed right at the end and looked like he was running in concrete boots for his intercept, we're crying out for some genuine pace throughout the team.
Balmforth was great again, with a try and an assist and some great passing from 9 really got us going in that second half. Felt we blew more than a few chances today, we just can't seem to get any luck at the minute the last conversion in off the post pretty much summed it up.'"
As the old saying goes there is no substitute for pace yet we have to go back to 1985 when we had real pace in all our backs .
If Ritchie Rich needed a reminder then today was the day when our nine was one of our fastest players.
That backline of Briscoe,Hardaker and Chamberlain will send shivers into opposition teams next season with their blistering pace,
We saw today with the Tuimavave interception and how easily he was cought shows how important pace is and none of those three could go the length of the field from an interception
We didnt have to sign Briscoe waste of money.We could have done what Warrington did and use two of our younger wings for next season who have a bit of pace but give them quality strike centres to work with
