Hunslet 22 Cougars 4 : Sun Jan 23, 2011 5:01 pm
Well if that was the acid test we failed.In attack we were so impotent it was unreal. Our threequarters hardly touched the ball, we lacked invention and angles. That said our pack made plendy of yardage, Luke Helliwell looked lively.
Our try is a cracker well worth watching when it's put up YouTube.
Some of our distribution was shocking and we made a lot of handling errors although the conditions were a little slick.
Our discipline was poor, you know what you're going to get with the March brothers and we fell for it big time. We also fell in the old habit of giving dumb penalties late in the tackle count.
Despite conceding 4 tries our defence actually looked really good. We absolutely stuffed their big pack and they generally weren't making 40m per set. If you give sides 10 tackles per possesion and cheap field position away players with the class (and I use that term loosely) of the March brothers will break through and that was the difference between the 2 sides today.
