Hate to say it but think we need a change in coaching personnel. Charlo has done a really good job getting us promoted but in fairness the opposition wasn’t much at times last year. One man rugby in Ch1 was ok but not in this league.
Toulouse showed us how it should be done. Quick hands got their first 2 tries chucking the ball about. All 4 of their first half tries came off the back on penalties we gave away. Their big stand off could have played in a dinner jacket. His kicks to touch were making 40 metres putting us on the back foot.
2nd half was marginally better although their first score a little kick through and gather and their 2nd very poor tackling going 60m.
Conclusion were will struggle to win a game playing like this. Need a couple of big strong running props. A playmaker with a good kicking game and a hard running 2nd row. Shacks and Kris have done us tremendously well but I fear there slightly on of their depth and are being found out. Need to stop one man rugby every play and start to pass more. When we did it today we started to make decent metres.
We can only hope our fortunes change and stick behind the side but if the money isn’t there and tactics remain the same I fear only on outcome
