Wakefield Ram Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Defensively we are pretty good, if we can create more chances near the opposition line and reduce our errors then who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moscow01 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 A really tough game. They’ve got pace all over the park, and know how to play the fast pitch. Maybe a game for Alex Smith in the halves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tms Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 FEV played them tuther week Newcastle have a big pack 2 lively halfbacks some quick outside backs and the everlasting Bob Beswick Although well beaten 68-12 their heads never dropped and they played the full 80 Despite the score and as daft as it sounds they played some good rugby I think your defence will have to be on the ball all the game because Newcastle keep coming and if it doesn't do the job you ask from it Newcastle will score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crown Flatter Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 There’s no way we will win. I don’t think our defence is that brilliant, after all we let Sheffield score three tries and on a wide field like Thunder’s, they could run amok like Featherstone managed to do. Then consider our attack, but there is very little to consider though is there. We do not apply much Pression on our opponents, nor are we creative and rarely see players backing up if a teammate gets through a gap. Newcastle 40-10 Dewsbury FTS: Magrin MoM: Day Att; 877 Legs, Dews, Legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakefield Ram Posted July 9, 2021 Author Share Posted July 9, 2021 You never know we might kick to the corners on the 6th and let Gabriel and Carr jump and score, or even chip through and force a drop out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wakefield Ram Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Cannot fault the effort but once we get near the opposition line we look disorganised, never try and force a drop out, don't kick enough to the corners and even try to drive over on the last tackle. And not sure what the point of Finn just giving the opposition full back easy uncontested catches. Our two tries came from a miskick but expertly finished by Carr, who looks a quality winger. And the other a brilliant solo effort from Dixon stepping a number of players and scoring from nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Flatter Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 (edited) Our attack is inept and I’m not sure the defence is any better. When we score tries they are usually individual products and today was the same. Can’t fault the try scorers, both individual efforts and Dixon’s arguably the try of the match. Late on when Finn made a dash for the line, perhaps he should have taken the tackle rather throwing out a feeble pass which was taken by a defender, but shouldn’t there have been someone supporting him for such a move? Our players do not support their teammates; if they did we might score more points. Prior to their first try, where our right side (for once) was caught napping, did Fleming knock on, or did it drop behind him? The worst try conceded must have been when Ta’ai toyed with us and we just watched him, leaving that big gap for the try scorer to shoot through. It didn’t make good viewing for me.

Wakefield Ram Posted July 11, 2021 Author Share Posted July 11, 2021 Agree, forwards run on their own, first four drives are Fleming, Oakes, Gabriel, Dixon. We had 2 offloads today, Finn has been a brilliant player but he's just too slow now and his kicking is mostly ineffectual, still busts a gut on defence, but if Alex Smith played like that he'd be dropped. Lets hope we see the return of Sykes, Day, Butterworth, Walton soon to spark some life into the attack. At the moment, it's like watching paint dry very slowly.

I agree 100% about Finn, I've still no idea why Greenwood took Smith off and moved Finn to the halves as we looked worse when that decision was made, it was quite a disappointing loss on Sunday as the win was there for the taking.
