Quote ="pyeman"At the begining of the season when werent missing key players we scored more points than anyone in sl that was true for about 8 games or so, so we can convert pressure into points, but only when we have key personel playing and and experianced captain leading us. once again this leads back to our lack of depth, tm is working with a smaller budget than most of the clubs in sl, yet we can still win 50% (well just off) of our games, if he could spend up to the salery cap, we would be top 4.'"
From memory, those first 8 games, yes we scored a few, but then we lost against Quins(no Sherwin) and lost against the Giants despite having the lions share of possession and field position. The other games, Salford apart we were hardly hammering teams. Even the Pies away, we should have been out of sight but weren't and they nearly made us pay. We have continued to get good field position and plenty of possession since those first 8, with the exception of the HKR game, yet we have not scored anything like the number of points we should have.
Yes, we are currently missing Key players, Hudson more than anyone in my book, but the coach keeps putting the tried, tested and failed combinations in key positions. We've got a while to manage without Shifty and Hudson, time to try something different
