Our pack was not the problem last year, it was the h/backs. It was obvious Longy would pick injuries up at some point, we will be lucky if we get 50-70% so a plan B should be available, not just reverting to a plan which failed last season.

Also rumoured around January time that we were keeping an eye on Ratchford.'"
Is it the same Witt we signed a couple of years ago and binned and he went to Union?

We never signed him, we were in talks with him before he left NZW, he went to Union in the end and is now at Crusaders.

Oh right thanks, some-one at work thought we had signed him a couple of years ago.

Our pack was a large part of the problem last year, second only to the lack of a Scrum Half. Signing new half backs without fixing the pack problems would have left us with problems.
Much as I lack confidence in Agar as a coach, I don't have any real problems with his recruitment and retention during the off season. A back up SH would have been good but there really weren't any affordable and available options of the required quality.

| Quote: berrigans bitch "TBH, it is a very difficult decision, however we had money he was given his chance to build his team etc..surely he must have considered that Long will miss game time. I agree with Paul M I think he will use Horney & Washy again I am not happy about this but all we can do is hope for a big improvement in their performance.'" doesnt matter who plays there without long, we just look poor and we really aren't. Where do the dummy runners go for example? I get the impression we need to focus more on the basics in training because we've proven consistently that we are poor at them

I agree with that, and I am happy with who he shipped out and brought in, but for me the biggest problem was and had been since Judas did one was our lack of scrum half.
What Sunday proved was a pack is a pack they will drive the ball forward 5 & a kick no matter how talented they are (the same as the pack did last year) unless you have a decent h/back to organise & create to move them around. Without creative h/backs, the best pack in the world will just drive because that is their jobs.

Makes you wonder what is going on at training

| I'm not sure the problem is simply down to no depth at half back, the problem to me is a little wider. We don't have enough (and haven't since 2004) ball handlers at the club. We are packed full of runners, some exceedingly good runners to be fair, but nonetheless runners.

Apparantly you can't teach these players basic skills
