Not competing for high balls

[king_sirro]

There are endless things that drive me insane about the Tigers, but without doubt the most frustrating is how pathetic we are at competing for high balls, be it a bomb or short drop out/kick off. We never even try to catch the ball.

We also have a tendency to kick it to the oppositions tallest player over and over.

It's been years since they've done that, KS. It drives me nuts!!! And the short kick-off 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ Please STOP DOING THEM!!!

It's a negative mindset... Good teams.mainly ways attacking for the ball... In the contest... We only do it if we have to
Negative attitude... It's rife in the club

We dont have the athletes in our centres and wings. Nofo and Toa dont look like they could jump over a 3 inch rope. Tupou doesnt look interested in even playing the game at all.

Why do we do it????? Captains call or Coach's instructions?. We need to know!!! Dumb!!!. Noffa a liability.

Also… FFS stop with the TAPPING it back if you do try it.. Catch the bloody thing,, tapping it back is just another lottery that we always lose because the opposite team just stand back and catch it.. we cannot do any basic thing correctly.. it’s embarrassing

A classic Sheens coached team, they fail at the absolute basics.

we've scored a few tries of bat backs.think we play better in un ,then structured play.200 passes n a ready team in 25 ring a bell
