How come we can't make it out of our own half?

[TYGA]

We have very few players that can dominate with ball in hand and earn a quick play the ball. Joffa, Stefano, Pole. That’s about it the problem is big our wingers are sluggish, fullback is small and we don’t have the forwards to do it in their own.

We play slow because we can’t earn fast play the balls. The halves have no chance we lack field position, struggle with possession and tire when we have the ball.

It’s just bad all around footy. The Dogs can even win these battles. Lose on skill and ability but we’re losing by getting dominated by every team.

Yes, that's the reason, <SARCASM>

We really have a weak pack, how many times have we dominated the ruck this year, maybe once or twice

We don't win the collision.
We then don't find our front or fight to play the ball.
This leads to slow play the balls.

Dummy half service to 1st receiver is 3/4m backwards, instead of the foot or so it should be. Forwards receiving the ball 3/4m behind the advantage line, rather than just on it.

This inability to get our forwards over the advantage line will be helped immediately in some capacity with Api coming, he does it better than most. Watch our forward metres rise by default.

But not winning the collision or showing desperation for a quick ruck will always hold us back.

Watch the Penrith players fight to get up. It's night and day. It also leads to more ruck infringements against the opposition as they resort to holding the ball or crowding to slow it down.

Needs big work.

Kills us more than any spine player

I can’t remember the last time our pack won us a game. The best we get is our forwards match the opposition and give us a glimmer of hope. That’s rare too.

They won the battle last week. The backs were off chasing butterflies though…
