Bringing in some of your youngsters has probably made it seem that you are playing a more expansive game. You probably are a bit more exciting but it seems much more to your fans because you have been starved of it for so long. I think you are heading in the right direction though you still have a long way to go.

The point is when the coaches structure goes out of the window when we are chasing the game we throw it about generally looking like headless chickens and throwing wild panic balls hoping someone will find a gap.

What i find most interesting about this is that generally it seems to pay off and we do put points on the board, add some structure to this and i think we may well see a half decent attacking team, the balls seem to stick when we take a chance, if we had structure to this in the gameplan i am certain we would be a much better team.

We drop a massive ammount of ball playing 1 out as it makes it easy for the defence to force the error, but the skills of the players are there to see when we chase the game, why Noble cannot see this and allow them to incorporate a planned attacking game is beyond me.

We don't play better, we throw it around like school kids playing touch. It just looks pretty for the uneducated eye. The truth is we have no ideas in attack.

Yep. Thats about the nuts and bolts of it.

Playing with 2 sevens clearly isn't working, nor having a back row lacking a creative player.
