The more I see of this season the more I think the problem can be summed up in 3 words. RTS, Maloney, Jennings.
They are all 'off the cuff' players. They gave us an X factor. Even when we played crap Roger would slide through the defence 10 metres out, Jennings would ground a grubber kick 10cm in from the dead ball line for a try, or Maloney would make a break out wide.
We no longer have those players that are outstanding attacking weapons. That can take advantage of great field position.
The Club took a punt on younger, cheaper players and it's backfired.
