spot on dalto. the second half was extremely frustrating. unfortunately there is no excuse for so much dropped balll, win or lose. it was frustrating with us having everyone lined up on one side and kicking/passing the other way consistently, and creating large overlaps then ignoring them and insisting on engaging in an up the middle arm wrestle. we looked completely disorganised and clueless for the vast majority of the second half. also, how hard is it to realise they keep doing short kick offs up the middle and actually move to counter that potential? not once did anybody drop into the area THEY KEPT KICKING INTO. all of this will be punished by the leighs and fevs of this world, it needs sorting.
a win is great and its also great we denied them the bonus point BUT it does not change the largely disorganised mess we witnessed in the second half, we were lucky sheffield had the same knock on curse as us, three sure fire tries went begging with knock ons that should have gone to hand and would have 99% of the time.
not wanting to put a downer on it, a win is a win, but i was completely unimpressed by just about everything that came after us going 22-0 up.
on the whole, glad the boys DID win, espcially as its put the icing on a day of success for myself i missed the first two tries as i was busy passing my final diploma assesment

Congratulations!
