Thank god it's over....... : Fri Aug 11, 2017 10:52 pm
In 30 years of watching that has to be one of the most turgid, boring games of rugby league i've ever had the displeasure to watch.With half an hour to go i couldn't wait for it to be over!!
2 teams who spent 80 minutes just passing the ball to the man next to them then kicking ....if these 2 teams are 2 of the top 8 in our country then the game is dying.
I'm not usually this negative but it was almost like both teams had decided they weren't even gonna bother using any energy tonight.
Not once did i see anyone run an angle, we barely ran forward, they weren't much better but managed to break through pretty decent defence a couple of times.
We had loads of possession in their 30 but failed to create anything, we could have played till Wigan Athletic kick off and still not scored, every attack was the same pass to the man immediately next to you run 5 yards pass to the man immediately next to you then kick it 10 foot in the air, there were gaps all over their defence and not once did we try and exploit them.
There was no vigour in running with the ball, no forwards dominating the ruck just simply walking into tackles and then having 9 men stood around watching the next play.
Only Darnell and Hinchy seemed interested in sparking some life into the attack.
Have we put the cue on the rack and decided it's season over cos it looked like it tonight.
