I counted at least half a dozen times where the first receiver took the ball completely flat and stood still looking for options. Where are the runners? 95% of the time we look horrifically predictable. The 5% of the time that we actually link up/movery a set structure, we look good. Playing off the cuff is all well and good, but if you have no support, it's useless.
I thought we looked at our best today when Julien, Savelio ,Cooper ,Wilde & Philbin were on together.Otherwise too much gifted ball again making life hard in defence.
As for the kick ,maybe a kick to touch would have been a better choice ,but in a s**t or bust situation someone has to make the decision & at least we won't get stuffed at Wembley .
By the way got a parking ticket in a gateway on Bewsey Road.
I thought we played well considering the number of players we were missing. I also thought that they were given too much leniency in the ruck by the officials..and of course Tomkins was his usual annoying self. So, as we clearly don't have the side to win at Wembley, we're best out of it such now we can concentrate on far more important things.
