Totally agree both very ineffective. Also defence, defence, defence !Lots of +/-'s in trials and not surprising as new players meld with the team and combinations in attack & defence are being forged.
The one alarming thing for me from last week & thus far this week is the total lack of any footprint on the game from Sims & Ford who interestingly have interchanged right & left to see which side fits them best.
Backrowers are supposed to provide dynamic attacking options and be integral in setting up outside players and there has been none of that from either let alone a tackle bust.
I sincerely hope that they are just doing lots of body contact in these trials preparing themselves for the season ahead and that they have some things up their sleeve.
6-22 for those wandering.
Piss poor defence..
we have too as well so fair play.
We've struggled to slow the Eel's go forward. They've done a great job of working our middle 3rd over.6 penalties and 11 restarts.
Disciple the issue.
