The speed both physically and mentally at Dummy half and First receiver isnt there... so the shape thats been set becomes too flat or over-runs the play - or the opposition has closed it down before it happens - having a winger and a terminally impatient kid for centres doesnt help matters either... Its been the case for some years now that we have some really good players but notneccessarily really quick/ smart ones, but its getting better. Its been a while since i felt sorry for an opposition for having to deal with a big strong and relentless Leeds pack but i did last night.
At the risk of being controversial, Lisone seems lower risk than Holroyd at the moment... Although maybe Holroyd is more likely to benefit from the game time. Holroyd is a bit too prone to random brain explosions, when we just need him to run hard and tackle hard. I'm not a fan of Lisone but he didn't do a great deal wrong against Salford.
I'm worried every time there is a play the ball with Lisone that he will either drop it or fail to play the ball correctly. Never fully gets to his feet before playing it.
