Bringing the ball back

[TIGERDAVIS]

Why is it that every other fullback in the comp sprints the ball make to try for a linebreak or to just hit the ball up whilst our back 3 bring it back walking or looking to pass it??? Is it to try create options because everytime it happens, it is so frustrating! I hope McKinnon and Moltz are reading this…..

Why do almost all other teams not kick the ball 15 metres backwards when they get a penalty on the opponents try line. I hope Farrar is reading this. Sorry I was distracted we need K. Hunt to lead the way.

Yeh, this is really annoying. While the fullback and wingers muck around floating across field the defence is advancing.

Stupid tactic.

R-U-N!!!!!!!!!!!

not all fullbacks run it straight back, they pass to get it to the centre of the field. It makes easier on the first few runs as the defense has to defend both sides of the ruck.
loads of teams get the ball to the centre as best they can often with a pass.

Exactly right goose, also means forwards don't have as far to run to get onside..
Although I think brown is the only one back there who run hard, moltzen often sacrifices A LOT of meters in order to link, I'm happy for him to try and centralize but please run harder from the back u have good speed

I also think our back three at the moment are very bad positionally. On long kicks the ball more often than not seems to find the grass.

By Farrar, do you mean the Manly fullback?

Or do you mean the Tigers player, Robbie **Farah**?
