We can't compete against top eight midfield luckily our forward line and backline is as close to elite as you can get.
Our forward line isn't closer to elite.
Yes it is. Other than forward tackling pressure everything else is top notch.
are you kidding me?
Our midfield refuse to defend. If it weren’t for Walsh running both ways, we would be in some serious sh1t moving forward. Ed tags but doesn’t run hard to help our defence. Cripps and Setters refuse to chase or pick up their immediate opponents, let alone run back to support.
Our backline has no small lock down defender, other than Plowman and he can struggle against small agile, quick forwards. Our defends keep turning the ball over on counter attacks. We are deep if anything happens to Weitering right now.
Our forward line is too one dimensional and reliant on Harry. The kick it long to the hot spot has become comical. We don’t have any room to lead into and we refuse to kick to the occasional leading forward and if we do, we normally favour the opposition. I will also add, apart from a couple of 35 years olds, we don’t have anyone that seems to be able to cause some havoc via the ground ball. Obsessed having defensive forwards everywhere with very little ground scoring power.
I won’t even bother with our midfield, clearance and centre bounce setups and structures. We are truly the worst coached midfield group or are have the dummest midfielders ever. How many times can we fight for the same ball or contest the inside without any outside run?
Should I go on to our transition coach between midfield and forward line? We have very little run and carry and love the boundary.....still refuse to use the corridor. Speaking of using the corridor, do we even defend it?
How about our general ruck work? I thought when Pitto started he had some sort of idea, yet he has gone backwards in a rate of knots.
I’ve been highlighting that we need more skilled players through the middle of the ground, yet we try turning anyone with any class into a small shutdown back or small defensive forward. We refuse to bring in players with skill and play them through the midfield or at least on the wings for some run.
Yep - Top notch!!!!
