It's a giggle isn't it....Same people who carried on about Madge, and nothing changed when he left either. Some people just need a scapegoat or someone to hate on. Maybe they didn’t get told they were loved as kids. 🤷🏼♂️
Fact is NRL is 30 man squad and ours has been shite for a very long while.
Madge got punted, All and Sundry were banging on about how we'd see some "Good Tigers Attacking Footy" with him gone... Are we averaging like 2-3 Tries a game since? - Real Attacking Threat...
Same with the Bombs going down the Opposition throat...
When you're generally kicking from inside your own half - There's not many options to get position....
and with 2-3 back, and that much hang time, It's ALWAYS going down someones throat....
Same used to happen to Pearce in origin.
I used to (And Still do) love our Kick Chase.... 2-3 trotting down in a line and stopping and waiting at the 30m mark for them to come back to us.... (it makes me vomit) Meanwhile we're stuck rucking out with a set line from 10m set after set....
Started with Taylor and I can't believe we're still doing it after all these years.
Back to your point, A kick is only as good as it's chase (Elford '05 GF still warms my heart)
And our kick chase is Putrid....
We did it relentlessly on the weekend and it had an effect almost every time - Go Figure....
