Said it a few times , we are playing footy far too far away from the ad line , we need to play closer to the line to create more pressure and to make the opposition have to make defensive decisions
At the moment the opposition has time to react to our attack , we need to change that
Our big weapons aren't being utilized with flat balls close to the line or in situations where defenders have to make decisions
Those weapons are Aloiai and Marsters (Lawrence also , but his hands get ugly when we play at the line )
The minute they become utilized oppositions will need to make decisions , that's when Brook's running game will become a weapon also
It might take a little time , but the defence is their and remember we have probably faced arguably the two best defensive sides in the comp
Your right but as you highlighted our ball runners don't have a good track record with their hands taking balls in traffic and our passes tend to throw plenty of flat passes forward. I guess its all about training drills and plenty of hard work. Manly were very good at it yesterday, but Parra have plenty of players who don't want to tackle
Something is up at Parramatta and I don't know what it is. Unless Jarryd Hayne has pissed everyone off there already… but that was way too fast.
Wondering if we could poach Manu Mau or someone else?
Looks like a similar problem we have had in the past with certain players egos and they are getting belted up the middle.
They just threw the in the towel after 10 minutes also Moses abusing the ref no real surprise there.
