A sobering opener that may well point to the rest of the season.
The game did show how modern RL is a game based entirely on possession and momentum. Once you get the former, the latter is a matter of course.
There are of course many ways in which you can control possession and these are the areas we failed yesterday. Discipline, ball control, tight defense, were all lacking. Basics of the game that should be worked upon before the flare of expansive rugby is brought to the table.
