It's definitely the worst rover side I've seen since 2007'"
In terms of personnel, we are much stronger with better players. The problem is utilising this in order to produce better performances. Under Morgan, we generally played conservative rugby and hoped to capitalise when we had the ball in the oppositions 20, and play a more 'grind it out' type of rugby.
Under Sandercock, our attacking play has opened up and as a result we have scored more points, but we lack the knowledge of when to switch back to a tight game plan (Bradford, Cas etc). In theory all it takes is a leader on the field to get that message across, play basic rugby and kick for territory but instead we insist on brain farts in our own half on the 2nd tackle for example.
Defensively we have been on and off for the last few seasons, the missed tackle stats weigh up against us but some games we seem to be able to defend manfully and its frustrating being unable to do the same the week after.
At the start of the season I thought 6th was a realistic ambition. The same thing keeps happening week after week, and something needs to change/improve or we could be in for a frustrating season
