Thought our players and coaching staff would have noticed Webster having some difficulty running due to a leg problem.What did we do,we threw the ball to the opposite side every time we had it as if we were sympathising with him.Every player in the S.L. would have seen this and exploited it but not us,i wonder why.The lads next to me were amazed that our coaching set up never picked this up.Does'nt give you a lot of faith in the coaching set up does it.

We never run back into the ruck and got tackled by the square markers once

Our defensive line speed is .

Our forwards take the ball standing still.

We hardly ever have players running off the ball.

We have one of the quickest wingers in the game and he never gets a pass.

We attack with a flat line and don't run from deep.

Our kickers invariably manage to find the opposing winger or full back.

We leave one/two of our props on the pitch for in excess of 60-odd minutes a game.




If our coaching staff can't sort this little lot out, how the hell do you expect them to see something as subtle as the fact that one of the opposite players has a limp.

Sorry,never thought of that

Houston...we have a problem

Also Welham gambles everytime and runs out of the defensive line to try a ball and all tackle. Bit of thought could have exploited the gap he leaves but we were too thick to realise this.

I can just see it:

[uKC Stadium 12.30pm.[/u

Agar: "What about the tactics today Jon?"
Sharp: "I've brought polo mints instead"

We play a prop at loose forward.

We keep trying that stupid drop off ball inside, even though it never works.

We have one of the best wide running impact forwards in the league, but try to crash him up the middle for 80 minutes every week.




If our coaching staff can't sort this out, how the hell do you expect them to notice something as subtle as the fact that the oppostition centre is doing what our star international centre does at least three times a game.

Fancy being a coach?

I'll be your assistant so you can take most of the flak

You are not Richard Agar and I don't claim my £5

I didn't realise they even employed tactics today, very poor coaching if that is all we can come up with

Notice the way that Galea ran at Thorman all game. Rovers had Dobson defending next to Webster and we continually went the other way.
