If they could have why didn't they?

Bombed a couple of tries through lack of concentration. Rich Horne turned his back on an offload, if he had taken it 3 man overlap, about 10 yards out from the line. Decided to run it instead of taking a penalty 3 times, which we didnt score tries from. G. Horne knocking on 30 out and all he had to do was draw the winger in and give it to calderwood for another score.

We have not been fluid in attack to capatalise on the awesome work the forwards are doing at present

Thus to say that "we could have easily had 40+ against Catalans." is clearly not true then.

Not to mention when they knocked on, Briscoe picked it up with nobody infront of him and the ref called him back to give us the scrum or when Yeaman was clean through and was stopped by a desperate ankle tap. We were worth more than a 16 point win.

Yes we easily could have done, as per the examples given

I really don't understand this we could have scored more if... argument.

It is clearly contradictory.

How? If Horne had been concentratin when an offload was thrown to him it was a certain try. Briscoe was well away with no one in front of him with a supporting player next to him. They was both bound to result in certain tries. One wasn't our fault it was the ref blowing us back and giving us a scrum. The other was, due to lack of concentration.

Not really, Lenny. The team could have scored more as the opportunities were there. They didn't because of a lack of concentration/poor execution/bad luck.

They could have. They didn't though but that doesn't mean they couldn't.
