We’re tactically using our energy in the wrong areas and it has cost us the season.
We have strong aggressive defence once the tackle is engaged but are to exhausted to make tackles due to fatigue. Many holes from tired defenders and to many times players left on the ground instead of at marker. Put less in after the tackle is engaged and more into marking in defence.
We are the king of post contact meters on attack… and then have nothing left in the tank to score in attacking positions. Slow motion dummy runners, players to deep, a step to slow to make a break, etc.
Same every week - we dominate the stats but the opposition outscore us and we can’t score enough points.
We’ve trained ourselves for endurance at the cost of speed and quick reflexes.
And to cap it off our intensity in the contact; fighting out post contact meters and bodies aimed at endurance, have resulted in the most injuries in the NRL.
A lot for the coaches to think about for next year.
