Can beat a good debate

Who is this Betts that you speak of?

Classic TiW

You'll get the hang of it soon enough on here. Take one of these & you'll be right!

I think Betts will see the season out then go back to his voice over career.

Re: Betts : Sun Mar 25, 2012 4:10 pm  

Voice over for what? Cough medicine?

We've got to get that defence sorted pronto. That should be his first priority. And the discipline, which goes hand in hand. We can all complain about the referee today but when the same player costs us over and over we've got some serious questions to ask.

well said dalto. I agree, its wonderful to get the second win and get off the bottom but it should not and does not hide or change the fact that for large intervals our defensive line is non existant, indeed completely pathetic. there are some big individual efforts in defence at times but on the whole we dont move up, drop off tackles like its fun and have a general level of competancy as a defensive unit that is almost tragic. it needs to be sorted out.

Absolutely. Thing is, you don't need big individual efforts when you've got a cohesive defensive unit. Half the time I see so called big tackles and especially great last ditch defending it's because we've failed to get a grasp on someone properly and rely on someone's heroics. We need to tighten up.

I'm made up we've won, I'm delighted, but now is not the time to start papering over the cracks. Now is the time to build on what we've achieved and address the fragilities we have because we could have made it a lot easier for ourselves today and who knows, if we sort that maybe London won't be our limit.
We've got an injury crisis but still accomplished the victory, so we can't be too downhearted by the defence, but let's keep working!

we started this season looking like the worst super league outfit ever (after some decent work against wakey) but now we're past that, and whilst we will still be favourites for the drop it doesn't have to be a foregone conclusion.

Did I say drop? I meant bottom.
