Scrum and line out what a pair of weapons. (How poor do you have to be to lose with that advantage?) but isn't Stiles "forwards coach" not "set piece coach".
I thought organisation in defence had rare leadership, mostly from Hunt (but is he experienced enough?) and occasionally Slipper. In attack someone earlier described it as "pick and flop". If the individuals in that pack can push the opposition scrum around the park, why can't they do it at the rucks? Or actually penetrating with pick and GO.
Very true. A bit off track but none the less I would be happy to see Styles focus on set piece next year and Thorn take charge of the other aspects of forward play. If he can get the blokes playing across the park like he did himself, it will bode well.
In regards to the game. Very strange and yet shit from the Reds. I don't recall seeing a team so dominant at set piece get so bitched in every other facet of the game. Reds looked like a team of 15 blokes who couldn't arrange an intellect between them on the night. What a shitty display. We pissed that one right away.
All the best to Kev and Sanchez at their new clubs and all the best for the future. Both haven't had great years but let that not distract from the outstanding service they have given Reds rugby over the years.
