I'm not sure what you're trying to say but I doubt the forwards would be doing significantly less work because the half backs were different. We play a no frills, forward orientated game no matter who is at half back

Doesn't really mean less work for the forwards though does it?

We didn't make too many errors tonight. Kicking game was shocking but it has been for 3 years now

What im saying is that with halfbacks we wouldent of had to play a 5 drives and a kick game it would of been 3 to 4 drives then spread it out wide but with no half backs we play a percentage game were its 5 drives then a kick now if we had said half backs and spread it out more often then the forwards would have to take 1-2 less drives a set on average meaning less work so then they can play longer minutes and will not tire as fast.

Quality experienced h/backs make the game a lot easier for forwards...they organise,k they shift the ball out wide etc etc

Due to our lack of backs...You didn't have to know your rugby tonight it was always going to go down the middle,

A good kicking game and fewer handling errors doesn't make less work for the forwards? Really?



The first half was good. 88% completion, I think. We seemed to come up with a few more in the second and some daft penalties from trying to slow the game down.



Largely because we haven't had any decent halfbacks for three years, or when we have, they've been out injured for much of the time.

i think we have made good strides this season,but i still dont think we are good enough to take on the top 4 teams away.the lack of our main halfbacks,does make a difference.its been 3 years now with no settled halfback combination.i think hull can beat leeds in a fortnight,with long and horne back,but i still think hulls threequarter line up could be a weakness.

Not a case of who is right or who is wrong, people look for different things and see different things in a agme, you often raise some very valid points but my issue is you are very negative in your approach.

I believe we will do OK (my heart forces this )..Realistically I hope to win at least 1 play-off game and I will view that as progression.

My heart says we will lift the trophy!

As the season has progressed it has become blatantly obviously that we need to strengthen the half back positions as priority next year.

Thought Berrigans kicking game was just plain awful tonight, he tried hard but didnt really have any support and we just gave the ball away too cheaply.

Berrigans kick one minute before halftime was too early and didn't look like the rest of team knew it was going to happen.

He tried hard but we will play so much better once Long plays.

A good kicking game doesn't necessarily mean less work, just likely to be in a different part of the field. Surely a forward dominated game is likely to result in less errors than an expansive one
