Re: No leadership. No direction. No scrum half. : Sun Mar 04, 2012 6:30 pm
Having been today I thought that Gaskels punt game was very good. Time and time again he put in huge dowtown kicks that had Hudds returning the ball from near their try line. Problem was we would then give away a silly penalty. Soliola was twice guilty of this.Late in the game the lack of experience in the halves did tell a bit, as i noticed that Lomax game fell apart abit. Twice he put in poor kicks and once he threw a forward pass. Credit to this though could be down to Hudds, who mercilessly targeted him in defence all day. I dare say with 10 mins to go he was out on his feet.
Its all part of the learning experience and in the long run it will make them better players, as they will learn to overcome adversity.
I just hope the fans dont start to turn on them and blame them for the teams failings.
