Cohesion and inexperience. Missing Bukuya is a big thing his combo with Johnson was really starting to click and that was creating space on the outside. Now the guys look lost and don't know how to play off Johnson yet.

An injury/suspension free Warriors would be a lot tougher. Still have those moments of madness, but effort has improved remarkably in the last couple of weeks which is a good place to start.

I thought the Warriors pack aimed up tonight anyway, even if their attack was deadset woeful

Our pack has never been the problem this year, in fact we've generally been really good there.

Its our lack of attacking options that keeps hurting us, Johnson just isn't cutting it and taking Mateo and Hurrell out of the equation too doesn't leave a lot. I'm over Neilson now too, he actually ruins attack.

Leulaui - Tomkins are onto something but that's not enough to win games.

Our attacking options have been decimated through a series of minor injuries/incidents (often during the game) that has effected our ability to create cohesion and improve our attack.just can't get by on individual flair.

Just as we start putting a good combination together something happens to f**k it up.

If this trend is to continue I expect Tomkins or Leuluai to pick up a two week injury next week.

Neilsen will escape the injury curse no doubt.

It's what every team does now. They don't want to kick it dead because if the seven tackle, and they don't want to kick short because it allows the back 3 to run onto the ball.

The bomb these days is reminding me more and more of the NFL punt. It's all about hang time to try and give the back 3 less opportunity to run it back.
