Was always a bugbear of mine that we used to start games too slowly. We've put that right this year but its got us nowhere.

I think its evident that last night we did not take advantage of our early dominance. We could if not should of been at least 12-0 or 18-0 up, wire would of never come back from that, the game could of pretty much been won in the first 10 mins with it being such a low scoring game.

We also rely on Feka coming on and making an impact but he did not do this last night. We often look to Hock for something but I thought he had a poor game.

Thought I'd look at us Defensively aswell and its a pretty even spread.

1 to 10 Minutes - 8 Tries
11 to 20 Minutes - 9 Tries
21 to 30 Minutes - 6 Tries
31 to 40 Minutes - 7 Tries

41 to 50 Minutes - 5 Tries
51 to 60 Minutes - 9 Tries
61 to 70 Minutes - 9 Tries
71 to 80 Minutes - 7 Tries.

We had a cracking little plan going at the back end of last year were Hock and Feka would start on the bench and come on and cause huge damage to opposition defences.

For some reason we've moved away from that this year with Hock starting the games and unfortunatly Feka hasn't been producing lately.

Joel Tomkins, Riddell, Prescott etc aren't adding much from the bench tbh aswell but all 3 i'd say are more suited to starting the games.

Thats weird we are actually consistant at something

I said that in the very first game of this season when Noble started with Hock and Feka against Wakey. I think he brought Hansen and Coley on that day instead which was a major shift from the tactics which proved so successful for us at the end of last season?



One of the main reasons for it could be the loss of both Trent and Higham possibly?

Higham was and still is a one trick pony who can only scoot imo BUT with us getting Smith towards the end of the season it meant Higham didn't have to fill a creative role in the side. It's no coincidence his best performances for us came when he was just left to scoot and make quick yards whilst Smith and Trent controlled the game and the way it panned out. Higham or Tommy off the bench with Hock and Feka meant we had the fire power to change games (see Bradford in the playoffs to confirm this).

We've not got that this season and Hock now needs to start as he's one of out few danger men.



Joel has been disappointing this season and I know Lockers has been outstanding but I still think Joel should have started 13 for us at the start of the season. Lets face it after being out top forward try scorer and runner up in the young player of the season award he deserved a shot.
