Quote: Hullrealist "Think this is a pretty fair assessment. At times we moved the ball well but with 0 penetration. Need some forwards that can break the line and halves to take it on a bit more.

We had decent possession and territory throughout the second half, but once again our movement was so slow whenever we were inside their 25. Their defence was well organized and difficult to break down, but we simply don't ask enough questions when we are in these situations. A lot of lateral movement but zero penetration as you say.
Our lack of power in the forwards and creativity in the middle, allied to our painfully slow ptb, makes it very easy for defences to read us. If we had scored a third try quickly after the second then it might have become very interesting, but all of our long-standing issues, especially with ball in hand, where there for all to see once more this afternoon. Until we can inject some higher quality into this area it's going to continue to be an issue I'm afraid.
The effort is there but lack of attacking threat is a problem which will not be easily solved unfortunately.
