You are quite right marra, but do you detect an air of pessimism this season that hasn't existed in previous ones? We were always capable of pulling something off imo, but this year we look jaded, devoid of ideas, flair and dare I say it, passion. Why is it that most other (inferior?!) teams seem to be more adept at varying their tactics at will, offloading, quick play the balls, slowing play down? On Sunday, Sheffields quick passing and sharpness caught us on the hop more than once, a better team (i.e Widnes, Cas) would have hammered us. Perhaps DR has taken us as far as he can! More and more people, even the die hards are sick of this one man rugby (indeed some are even venting their frustrations by writing to the Whitehaven News). The team is capable of better, this has as been proved in recent seasons, perhaps the coaches tactics need to be questioned?
Till next time.
