If Bell had a forwardline to kick to he'd be a hero. Instead he gets the hard ball, turns around and accelerates committed to driving us forward and the team structure forward is zilch. Now there's not too much you can do with someone on your tail than go forward.
This.
Our forward-line structure might be severely lacking, but you still can't simply blaze away; you need to be able to have the vision to be able to assess the options around you, even if that means going sideways or backwards.
He did this in previous seasons as well when at times we had something resembling a forward-line. He has many admirable qualities, but he is way too "get ball, kick ball". While the structure forward of the play needs improvement, possession is too hard to win to just bomb it long blindly.
True.
I truly believe Bell has been a standout amongst a very average output from most on our list.
I love the way he is still at it in the 4th Qtr whilst most others around him have given up.
There's plenty of room for improvement. I'm guessing the talk amongst the team of introverts is weak and not helpful for players who need guidance from those around him.
Bell should look out for team mates when he gets ball on wing, but I do encourage the shots he takes from 50 whilst our forward structure remains a huge issue...imo
