You only have to see what our first 3 tackle plays are after we get a penalty within the oppositon 20 to see whats wrong with our style of play. Why waste 3 or 4 tackles with one out rugby when we are within 20 meters of the try line? Teams know they can defend tight in because we never spread it wide and certainly never at pace.

But we did at Huddersfield and Bradford

Whats wrong with our style of play ?

thats how i saw it, the forwards are too knackered by having to play too long, and the backs cant create anything.

With forwards like ours, we need to be super aggressive id happily run at out line in a match... would i against Saints and Leeds? No I'd be scared of getting smashed by Leuleui or Puletua. i dont think we give that fear factor.

We seem unable to pressure opposing kickers also, would have loved to see Steven Price from Warriors come here for exactlt that and even though he's 35 odd still just about the best prop on the planet, might make some of ours wake up and realise what they should be doing and get some tips also. (Not that I think ours are awful may I add!)

Moa played against Hudds and Braford.

He did, but we had Thackary as a second prop on the bench for those two games and the Cas game, we have since reverted to King on the bench. Thacks is a better impact player than king in my book, we have also missed out because Manu is playing 80 minutes now instead of coming on as an impact player where he produces his best performances.

Another thing that is annoying me about our play is our lack of backing up the man with the ball, a couple of times our forwards had been partially tackled and looking to offload the ball and there was nobody in sight.
Also helping the man in defence is something we only do out of neccesity, a couple of times yesterday we got the ball from a kick for the player to be tackled and pushed back, it is only when they have gone back 5m or so that the players look to help out.

I know they are just silly things but these little things are sometimes the difference between winning and losing.

Surprisingly we are missing Mike Burnett because he was a forward Agar would use to start leaving Manu as an impact player. We are short of numbers but Agars refusal to play players from the bench until the second half and to use Moa for 10 minutes is difficult to Fathom. Thacks in the reserves to get more game time? But Dowes and Cusack and Tickle are getting too much. Surely more rotation of our fit players would ultimately keep them fresher? having two hookers or three on occasions just takes up the bench esp when we had an underdone King coming back. Dowes as good as made a plea for a change from the coach when he said he wasn't sure that he could continue playing the long minutes with the short turnarounds coming up. Things would look different if we had Crocker and Lauacki and Raynor and Tony but we haven't and it's the coaches job to do the best with what he has. I get the feeling the players don't like the regime and that unhappiness is coming through on the pitch.
We've had a "dynasty" of failed coaches. Each has had a part to play in the previous management team. Either they had some input and should pay the price or they weren't contributing so why were they there? If you're going to change something change the whole thing. We need new blood and new ideas only then will you get a new style.
And McRae's flowing rugby days? He was the man that said we don't need a 7 and thought Wilkin was no good!

Risk taking needs to be calculated. Unfortunately when your scrum half decides to kick on teh first tackle having just been given 6 more, on their line with a minute to go and youy are trailing by 4, there is not a great deal you can do!

It's not our style of play that's the problem.

It's the lack of commitment and enthusiasm shown by the players.

IF we had dummy runners, players backing up and players running with such force they could try and offload then the style of play wouldn't be an issue

The one way we could change is to get our forwards to offload the ball a lot more and the backs too.

Leeds are not the best attacking side around but they continually offload the ball until that 2nd/3rd phase of possession results in enough space to work out a try.

Simply offloading the football would make a huge difference to us aswell as supporting the man with the ball everytime! Using some angled runs now and again would be a good idea too, one man rugby can be effective if the ball is timed right and the angle is good.
