Slow starters. : Mon May 24, 2010 8:33 pm  

The last 3 games we have started off slowly and given away 2 or 3 early tries, which has left us chasing the game. We have played well in the second half of each of these games and generally outscored our opposition. Any thoughts on what can be done to get us coming out firing on all guns at the beginning of the next match.

Nobby needs to fire the players up from the start not at halftime when the damage is already done. Need to be switched on from the first minute not looking shellshocked when we're already 18-0 down after 15 mins. Have great respect for Brian Noble but to me there's something not right with the preparation/warm-up or whatever that each week the opposition gets off to a cracking start and we're already on the back foot.

Hopefully this will be fixed in the week off.

This was regularly observed when he was coaching wigan. Although i have the upmost respect for him i lost count of the number of games we lost by half time.

Perhaps they should have a game of attack vs defence with the Street Dance Troups in attack. Even they would give them a run for their money and get them warmed up and it would be far more entertaining than watching the girls jump around.
Result! Two problems solved!
