Anyone got any suggestions why over recent seasons we seem to start games on the back foot and only pick up the tempo after the 30 min mark or later ..... often when we are a few points adrift? ......(I know its early season and we haven't seen much of our new team /tactics this year yet).
However Cresta has identified this as an issue too, and the Keithley game didn't seem to produce any better first 30 than in the past. Likewise Swinton kept kept us 'occupied' for longer than I would have hoped .... i.e. we didn't really break away from them until the last quarter.
And don't just give me the DR stuff, it's gone on lfor onger than his period in charge.
I know teams try to keep it tight early on, and tiredness / forward changes kick in as the first half progresses, however if we could hurt teams early with quick points, I feel we would see a better all round return from the team over the full game ...... tails up / confidence for us and up hill challenge / demotivation for the opposition.
Easy isn't it !!!!! (joke)
