Agree totally. I cant understand why we have gone away from this tactic when it works so well. Think we got to every short kick off barring 1 yesterday and it was only he fact that other players wernt alert that we didnt come up with the ball more. Even the one where Haven took it cleanly they still ended up where they would of if we had kicked it deep due to the pressure from the Fax defenders.



If it aint broke.........

I also like the short kick off, didnt our come back yesterday start from a short kick off?

Our first try of the game came from a short kick off. The only time you went long you got the ball back and the other one hit the post.



Take the kick off from the start of the game. We get the ball on our own 40 rather than ingoal. Edmondson busts a tackle we're now on your 30, put an attacking kick in and force a drop out. Score from the next set. If you'd kicked the ball long, we'd have went 5 drives and a long kick. The first try of the game could've made a big difference. It's not really about using the short kick off it's about using it at the correct time and possibly giving the opposition a little bit more respect.

Right, I feel I am able to talk about it now. WE WERE CR-P.





In our record breaking relegation year we were cr@p and we knew we were. This year we are good and we know it, but at the moment we're playing cr@p. So annoying.

Beat Toulouse convincingly...beat Fev first half....Lost to Fev 2nd half....Lost to Widnes...Lost to Haven first half...Beat Haven 2nd half....Beat Sheffield convincingly....Season back on track!!! Well that's my prediction anyway!!!

COME ON FAX...Still best season in a long time,we are building nicely,keep the faith!!

seems like our team did a good job on shutting you down yesterday only to fade a bit in the last 15 mins, edmo, jt, and leroy smashing everything in sight, and calvert running them in for fun



were on a roll to the GF now

We will see!

But you did not

Like I have said Whitehaven 'do a job' and it does for us.

It won't work on teams with more brains and a pair of half backs though.

Its Barrow or Widnes for the GF, unless we find some form again which is not impossible - here's hoping.



PS. I hope its not you lot in the GF the way you play. Yer it beats us but it aint pretty, of your 8 tries only the clever kick into the corner was from really good rugby, the rest were our errors or slack tackling.

As you can see I don't like Haven

and who forced the errors though us



defence wins games , give us some credit,we play a percentage game yes and we know when to build pressure instead of throwing it about

jt , leroy,matty and edmo smashed you all day long forcing error after error which we made the most of, nice moves for gorski to break the line to put eilbeck in , and jt,s try and his off load for edmos try were hardly boring to watch



credit where its due

We've beat every side in this division at some point this season so does that mean that every side in the league must have no brains and lack a pair of half backs. Or you could just praise the way we played. The team play to it's strengths and it's effective. We can hardly be called boring considering the amount of tries we've scored and conceded recently. 6 of our 9 tries on Sunday were scored by wingers as well.

Repeating myself here but two words:



STAND OFF.



Too late now but you have to question MC's thinking considering he was a back. Maybe he had a bad experience with a stand-off who wouldn't pass to him and has made it his ambition to try not to use them in his teams?
