Enjoy your rugby and Express yourselves

Post by Mark62 »

Last night was pretty dreadful. Not to take anything away from Saints. They were excellent and on a roll with confidence high from their cup win last Sunday.

Geordan has said that if anything the players are trying too hard and I get that.
One of the main differences was that the Saints players were enjoying themselves, playing heads up rugby with a smile on their faces, the Vesty factor maybe.
Compared to that Tigers were playing by numbers till the last 15 minutes. We are here on the pitch so we will do this, so easy to defend against, no one looked like they were enjoying being out there.

Geordan was one of the most talented players of his generation, the George Best of rugby.
Get these players back enjoying themselves, they haven’t become bad players over night, use their natural ability.
Like it or not we are involved in a relegation dog fight, a new experience for most of these players, so rather than just try to dog it out let’s play ourselves out of trouble

Try reading the post.
I said the players should try and enjoy it more.

You enjoy doing something you’re better at it.

Viscous cycle.
Players play like :censored: leads to Supporters giving :censored: support which leads to more :censored: play and so on and so on.

I don't get why we are kicking so much.
Against Falcons (H), Wasps (A) even against Worcester in the second half of the home game.

Our attack was so much better.
Like that Worcester lost made us change our style completely, when really we needed to just change our defence.

Gloucester, Harlequins and Scarlets at Welford showed we can still play like that and when we do we score tries and tend to win.

It's Murphy inexperience, he panicked after that wuss lose and needed to IMO back that attacking philosophy more.
