We needed to shelve the block plays 2nite. Block plays in those conditions are always fucking hard cause you cant get the crispness or timing, of passing or catching..... just end up going sideways which is easy D.
Problem is, apart from block plays and short interchange passes from our forwards with Addin on the crash, dont think ive seen anything else in the Webster play book (dont get me wrong and as unpopular as it may be atm, i still think the general tactics of field position is the right one as we're not a team with a lot of strike.....and if your not a team with strike then structure is your go to). Compounded also by the fact for whatever reason we dont run shape out our left edge,,,,,,starting to agree with other posters in that whats the point of TMM? May as well put a mobile backrower there who can tackle and run a hole. Not all his fault but was watching TMM and their were times he couldve stamped his mark......SJ went for a show n go on the 3rd right of the uprights which opened up the left.......that was his time to demand the ball, organize his runners, but he stood back.....Egan even looked for him but he was nowhere......ended up having to do a 360 pass to Chanze on the right who had nothing on.
That said you can have all the variation in the world but if u keep serving up what we did the first 15 minutes with all the errors and piggyback penalties, then we're no chance. And the real concerning thing is apart from recognizing this every week our coaches cant seem to recitfy it......it keeps happening,
Terrible game really, and enduring Blockers dribble didnt help any.
