We clearly didn’t do this last night. We had a decent first ten minutes then an average 30 (Tommy flying in notwithstanding) and in the second half we had an average half hour and then a ruthless last ten minutes.
It felt as though we were on cruise control, but no matter how much hyperbole the Sky commentators threw at it Leeds never looked like scoring except their two fortuitous tries.
I thought we went too far trying to be overly expansive at times when we had tackles in the bag and the offloads were a bit scrappy but I suppose you can experiment and throw the ball around against a team you are beating so easily in 2nd gear......
We missed Robes but the boy Smith put in a great effort that will do his confidence no harm and Mr Perpetual Motion will hopefully be back to his best towards the business end of the season.
Overall I was happy with the result and Holbrook’s rotations because we’ve got such a cushion in the league now that next week against Wire is a nothing game anyway, no matter how many ‘planes Rubber Duckie flies over the TWS or how many Wolfs are waiting.
We have a great record there plus when we have a poor/bang average game this season, we tend to give our opponents a spanking in the next game..... all we have to do to beat Wire is go through the gears, and not stay in Second.....
