Boy have we got some major issues in defense out wide. Robinson, Tak and Champion are all very ordinary in just reading simple numbers. Radradra is still learning and Sandow, well we all know his short comings due to size.
It was a great win, but when the game was still in the balance, we made the same unforced errors and penalty give a ways as we have always done in the past. Nothing has changed there.
In the positive column, our line speed and physicality appears to have improved out of sight compared to previous years. But considering the lackluster opposition, I can't get to excited with that at this stage either.
If anyone is wondering why the coach ain't to happy after such a good win, these are the reasons. When you can't hold onto the ball, give away silly consecutive penalties, and get turned inside out, out wide defensively, while totally dominating a piss poor opposition pack, then there is plenty of reason for concern and the coach knows it, even when you eventually go on to blow them off the park, not because of your great footballing abilities, but mainly due to your larger more physical presence.
Like I said, we have many issues in our backline and against the bigger and more skillful teams, I fear those deficiencies will become obvious even to the most enthusiastic eels supporters.
