...playing square and direct deep into the line as a half.
CHT is the better distributor of the three and is willing to wear a shot to get the outcome he wants.
**That doesn't mean the attack doesn't need more variation and our sets aren't giving them much room or quality ball to work with though.
Metcalf wasn't playing direct enough last year, it was all very either I'll run myself or I'll angle you out of room by not squaring up and diving into the line to play out the back giving you room.
It was looking a little similar to start this season, although better than last year and new...
It would be interesting to know if everyone was fit to start the season till now.
Would Tohu be coming off for a break rather than being shuffled into prop as was done last year when Walker would come on?
I haven't noticed the Tohu stuff, so maybe haven't been paying enough attention. But...
Come on bro, noone is saying he is going to win us the game or leaping out of their socks 😂
We have leaked sixty points in the past fortnight, and defensive issues are a lot easier and quicker to fix than our offensive issues.
We are getting rolled really bad in that middle period of the game...
I've never thought of him as a quality distributor, so the lack of quality ball is only going to shine a spotlight on it further.
I never watched him in rugby, so maybe he got better. But an elite runner with a nice flick and the odd pass was how I remember him at fullback for us.
1. Do you put our losses down to injuries?
You can possibly put them down to injuries if you are willing to accept we aren't in the echelon of Penny, Storm, Broncos who have continued to win and convincingly despite major injuries this season. Accepting we are more so a middling team that is a...
Different tackles though, and at a lower rate.
Both CHT and Martin are proven solid defenders, and Metcalf was showing improved tackling from last season.
The coach would need to be confident in your kicking to command kicks off SJ.
The only one out of the three that looks composed enough and confident with his kicks is CHT at present.
If play any part in the NRL game you aren't allowed to back up even if it's only 2min of NRL. It's part of the latest CBA.
Unsure if that's includes 18th man or not.
Not sure I can watch any of the other games this weekend after these three.
Everyone else is attacking at will and we are doing five up and an uncontested kick on repeat.
Certainly always optimistic!
But definitely not the case.
We haven't evolved from last year with the ball is the real truth, and we play too conservatively. The blueprint has been laid out how to defend us because we don't have any variation.
100% agree, Webby needs to show he can pivot.
He's a smart guy, that's why it's kind of odd that his game plan is so one dimensional.
Good coaches can pivot between games and pivot inter game when things aren't working.
It's not as though we are lacking experience, so such a inflexible game...
Noones allowed to say a word about sir Webster on here.
But this team is absolutely fucked, and the game plan is terrible.
Bring back Morgo the saviour.
