Well that was an awful game to watch. Was like a union game from the 80s, trundle up the middle, try and win a niggly penalty and then kick for goal
Hard to criticise for lack of effort or saying that the players weren't interested, there was some real gutsy defence on show and they really put their bodies on the line.
We must be one of the least adaptable teams around though, we still don't have half backs who can change the direction or pace of a game when our game plan isn't working or we get in a situation where we have an extra man etc.. Today We just didnt have a plan B. We couldn't out muscle them down the middle and made no real attempt to try anything else when that obviously wasn't working. Every single game, the number of times we concede stupid penalties on the last tackle is ridiculous and our tacklers constantly get left on the floor and can't get in position it be effective markers at the play the ball
The good news is that I would be suprised if Levy wants to turn out for Oldham given the stick he got from their fans and their props attempt to remove his head from his neck (which was completely missed by all 3 officials!)
Got to be a kick in the gut for the club in general too, there was a bit of a buzz after beating town and a decent crowd today... A good game of rugby (regardless of result) would hopefully kept momentum going. I hope that this one bad game doesn't derail the attempts to bring crowds back.
