What's Olpherts done wrong?

The short kick offs have killed us. Hopefully Smith will get the point and drop this tactic permanently.

Cam Smith looked a bit sluggish before he went off. We seemed to pick up when O'Connor game on.

It was disappointing that Miller was burned for pace by a championship winger (well, he gave up).

Hopefully we see a better attitude in the second half.

Wouldn't say Miller was dreadful. He created our only try, and looks pretty lively. Yes, the kicks were poor!

Re: Boxing Day | Wakefield Trinity : Tue Dec 26, 2023 12:25 pm  

Miller had a poor half. Chucking out an offload, giving up on the chase, gifting possession the short kos and the intercept pass.

I’m hoping Millers is just a case of trying too hard. You can see the skill is there.

Olpherts had an awful missed tackle in the build up to their first and was lucky not to concede a try when numbered up 3 v3 and he comes in rather than staying on his man. Thankfully Walmsley dropped it.

Who would of thought

Do the basics of rugby league and good things happen

Re: Boxing Day | Wakefield Trinity : Tue Dec 26, 2023 12:45 pm  

Right, line drawn now. Never start a game with that attitude again.

Re: Boxing Day | Wakefield Trinity : Tue Dec 26, 2023 1:02 pm  

Miller looks very good joining the line as expected. What the highlights reels never tell you is how good players are with their consistency and with their D. Time will tell but he definitely has skill.

Re: Boxing Day | Wakefield Trinity : Tue Dec 26, 2023 1:04 pm  

Goudemand quietly been very good.

Who’s number 11?

Re: Boxing Day | Wakefield Trinity : Tue Dec 26, 2023 1:14 pm  

Littlewood I think.

I was right about O’Connor to 13 and Johnson to 9… I still hope Johnson makes it at Leeds he was very very good at junior grade.

Re: Boxing Day | Wakefield Trinity : Tue Dec 26, 2023 1:20 pm  

Ackers rightly MoM but I thought Frawley had a few nice touches and pushed him close. O'Connor and Goudemand solid too. Sinfield looking a lot more assured ball in hand.

Olpherts scored a nice second try. If that doesn't put him in the shop window he could still be decent back up for us if he builds confidence.
