Thank f*ck for that, with the thread title I thought this was going to be a discussion about Citeh
.
Big, big game on Friday. I didn't get to yesterday's game but I managed to listen on BBC Mcr. If you take away the disastrous first 10 minutes it sounded like we competed without quite looking like we were going to seriously threaten an upset. Looks like the main concern was our lack of field position, mainly by the sounds of it down to being 2nd best in the forwards and a poor kicking game where KR were starting most of their attacks on their own 30m/40m line.
Against the Crusaders it's vital we hit the ground running (stating the bleedin' obvious I know
) but you can't afford to give any team (bar possibly Swinton
) a 12 point start and expect to get back into the game. I still think we are a stronger outfit than the Crusaders but it's amazing what a bit of confidence can do to a team when they score early, likewise, what a negative effect it can have if you're staring down the barrel after a nightmare start.
If we can get on top in the forward battle then it looks like we have the firepower to score a few more tries this season. I'll take any sort of win to get the confidence back up before the Leeds game but I reckon we'll do them by 12-14 points if I had to make a prediction.
