3rd lowest number of tries scored in SL before last night (according to superleague.co.uk), miles behind the top 3 teams and costing us points. Last night the game should have been sewn up by half time with the amount of possession we had in their 20, similarly in the magic weekend game it should have been out of sight before ganson's blunder.

At times we've shown some good moves in the opposition 20 with dummy runners and players creating options for the ball carrier, but these have been too few and far between and generally we look clueless when near the opposition line which is really where we've been since 2007. I'm bored of watching us trundle props at the defensive line expecting something to happen

That'll be because we aren't a top three team then.
We are a 6th to 8th quality side as you have stated yourself previously.

We have a soft underbelly as the other thread alludes too.
The inferior teams in SL know they have every chance of picking up the points when we visit them.

We are 6th to 8th but our try scoring ability is 12th

Your defence must be pretty good then. We're the opposite, score lots, concede way too many.

I don't care if we win ever game one nil, it's not a league table of metres, carries, tackles, tries or 40/20's, it's a league table of win,draw and lose, and we're doing far too much losing.

It's an indication of how good you are

Been like it for a while now .

we scored enough try's last night to win the game

Agreed - defence cost us.

no, league position is THE indicator of how good you are, every other stat is just nonsense unless you're professionally involved in the game, nobody get's the "Harry Gration most metres of the season" award.

You won't be in a very good league position if you don't score enough tries

depends, score one in every game and conceed none, you'll be top of the league.

we're a defensive side

we just can't do that atm either

We scored 6 n with what should of been a reasonable return on goal kicks we'd have scored about 32/34 points whilst playing poor against a team in some decent form. We need to buck up but we're not in a crisis! Yet.

Yeah but that's not gonna happen so, as I said, you need to score more tries. Every season, the teams who score the most are at the top of the table
