You certainly looked very fast at the play of the ball and moved it well during that time, in fact i would argue you was probably 2 forward passes of 2 further trys as in both occasions our line was broken and you was in the clear, i know you can argue the forward passes allowed the line to be broken but it was good play. if i was been crictical i would question the poorness of your defence during that period which allowed us 2 very weak trys in terms of defensive play.

Very fair assesment of the first half in my opinion, in fact many of our errors in that early period came from just forcing the pass in trying to break the line. However, given the fact that we've been so one-dimensional this season I refused to be too critical of errors made in trying to offer something different.

Hard to argue with the point re defence too. While we soaked up a fair bit of pressure in the latter stages of the half we still switched off all too easily & in particular the defense for Murrell's try was shoddy in the extreme & sadly a taster of what we would see with alarming regularity in the 2nd period.
