It's a strong line up, shame Sidlow wasn't picked, but if he's not 100% then there's no sense risking him

When we're good we're very good. When we're bad we're awful.

When we're both...

Re: Workington (H) : Sun Apr 24, 2016 4:28 pm  

TBH, there were things that need to be worked on from that performance.
In certain cases I think it's just a case of a player needing an extended run in their position to improve their confidence.

But really, that is the sort of baseline performance that we should be putting in on a weekly basis. Let the p/t burn up their energy trying to out enthuse us in the first half followed by a second half blitzing.

We did switch off in at times, certainly in the second half when the game was all but won. Hopefully Diskin and whomever is the incoming coach can work on eliminating that.

Re: Workington (H) : Sun Apr 24, 2016 4:56 pm  

We had more than our share of switching off in the first half tbh. Mistimed passes, the odd gaping hole in defence. But once there was a bit of self belief these things largely disappeared. Not going to moan too much, a win's a win and it was a healthy enough margin.

Some different structures too, including the odd set piece that looked like the kind of thing you'd only try with your U19s team.

Re: Workington (H) : Sun Apr 24, 2016 5:12 pm  

Scrappy in defence at times, to many daft passes in attack that very nearly got intercepted, however, a vast improvement.
At leat we shoved the ball out the wing on not straight down the middle as normal.

Re: Workington (H) : Sun Apr 24, 2016 6:33 pm  

What about the Oscar Thomas Try!! You can see the guy has a good step, but great pace as well to go three quarters of the length of the field. That should do his confidence the world of good.

Re: Workington (H) : Sun Apr 24, 2016 6:43 pm  

Got to say..how good is Mitch Clark? I've not seen a prop at the Bulls run into tackles like that since Stuart Fielden.

Re: Workington (H) : Sun Apr 24, 2016 6:55 pm  

Mitch has been a great addition this season. Hopefully we can hang on to him!
