I also think having an 80% goal kicker makes a massive difference. In both 2016 and 18 where we have struggled we have lost many close games by a poor kicking rate.
Watkins kicked well last year and to be fair Sutcliffe has done well since he’s changed his technique to something v similar to Kevs. Plus the new guy can kick.
And also I think it’s time we put more structures into our games. Playing what’s infront of you only worked if you have your best 17 players on the field. As soon as injuries hit that game plan (or lack of one) goes out eh window. We need some basic structures like Wigan or cas to fall back on when we need a plan B.
Kev alluded to this in his first post match presser when he said he didn’t feel we’d earned the right to play what’s infront of us yet and that comes when you’re playing well.
