The is a big difference from throwing the ball around and to playing good rugby. Tonight wasn't good rugby, it was just poor as Wello, Wilkin, Brian mac and KC said. In a word it was "scappy".
Good Rugby though requires the arm wrestle it requires going through the grind and it requires boring rugby.
Yes you can start to throw it about if you take control of the game, or if the game is starting to run away from you.
The first few weeks we have been playing winter rugby, because it's been wet and windy conditions. Tonight we seemed to change tact completely going into throwing it about at all costs. I don't mind seeing a bit of grind and some of it tonight would have settled us nicely into the game.
For me Walsh is starting to look alot better.
The pack is making meters up the field,
Peyroux is a big unit and starting to make in roads.
Owens I'm unconvinced about, not sure why after weeks being out of the team he was kicking. But he managed to gift Leeds field position for their first 2 tries.
Dawson does ok and did very well to tackle Watkins.
I do wonder if the players read these forums and were feeling that they needed to show what we can do attacking wise.
Who knows but I think we will go well as the season goes on.
