Sports Prophet Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 On another note on kick offs... this applies to 13 a-side as well... why should the receiving team have to let the ball travel 10? You know those occasions when the ball is trickling to the 10m distance and both players are waiting to pounce. In my opinion, the receiving team should be able to pick the ball up no matter how far it’s travelled. Just as long as they have retired 10m when the ball is kicked.

Dave T Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Wales have been shocking. 4 drives and an aimless kick. Considering they have a weapon like Grace on the pitch they are absolutely clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave T Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Well I said I thought our selection was poor with all the forwards, but I didnt expect us to struggle against Lebanon! Pretty much out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M j M Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 That tackle at the end... but the lack of precision in the attacking options cost them eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wollongong Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 The ill discipline of English coaching (ball security and playing the sets) bit hard in that game. Williams was like a headless chicken... the wingers lacked genuine pace and killer instinct Lebanon were a bunch of Aussie heritage kids... and a couple of journeymen veterans.... go figure!

Pulga Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Jeez, that's not going to do Super League's reputation any good in Australia. Most already think it's only slightly above Qld/NSW cup... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave T Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 I'm surprised we didnt throw James Graham on for that last set to add some pace to the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cake Tiger Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 That was some of the worst I've seen from players in England shirts. Those Lebanon lads are from reserve grade and lower and good for them. But what was going on with England filling the team with forwards? And the kick options on last tackle were abysmal. They should be embarrassed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westside Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 So that’s Lebanon 2-0 and top of Pool B now. Looking like they will advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't think of any other reason why they would be in a 9s team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
