Not sure why our away form has been so poor, we have had a harder run of fixtures away than we have at home lately so this may be part of the reason. We are just very inconsistent and onceon the back foot seem to crumble although the last away game we seemed to have a bit more spirit and our defence seemed to have stepped up.
Agree with that. Last 5 games - home vs Crusaders, Catalans and Quins with trips to Saints and Wire in between, kind of solves the mystery. The big margins, for and against, just reflect teams getting on a roll and getting enough momentum that it feeds itself and is nigh on impossible to turn.
Can make for terrific comebacks, but also some real blow-outs. Team that scores, kicks-off at least gives teams a little respite and should keep games closer, adding a bit of tension. Its attractiveness fluctuates with whether you've just wonj big or lost big.
