Over the past at least 3 years we have massively had issues in the red zone. 5th tackle options have been atrocious especially the kicks!Not gonna lie I don’t know many teams that really go at attacking kicking plays relentlessly. How are you meant to really replicate oppositions? I’ve played league and in the backs and while we did the occasional kick and chase drills it was never really super important, not to mention quite dangerous to practice. It’s more of an effort than skill play, it’s either you have the effort to make the play or don’t. A lot of luck is placed in those kicks, not to mention the height of opposition. You can see in any kick contest it’s whoever has the most effort and luck, the Bula try was a clear example. Our backs also aren’t real aerial threats to be fair, unless we run out with Lobb and Alaimalo on the wings. But I agree it should be practised more IF it isn’t at all.
A roller coaster of cowboys switching on and off again…Missed the game. What did I miss?
Have only seen the highlights (5min) and seeing Drinkwaters effort in defence wow I could only imagine the comments about his effort if he was in a Tigers jersey.Yes he was. In attack and defence.
And it was Sheens who was passed it and before that it was Madge ball. The best player in the team has no problem performing under Benji and his class is evident every week.maybe not Benji's overall coaching, but definitely our attacking coaching is a big issue.
He was awful. Luckily.Have only seen the highlights (5min) and seeing Drinkwaters effort in defence wow I could only imagine the comments about his effort if he was in a Tigers jersey.
Deflecting…...just like Wayne Bennett doesDefinitely an issue,but maybe not the only issue. Benji seemed to be publicly questioning himself in the press conference.
I wonder if Galvin is yearning for some time in Flegg to get that winning feeling back coz he ain’t gonna get it from his team mates in first grade. I agree with lack of support and options for the poor kid. He must be scratching his head wondering what to do nextStands out like dogs nuts when you have Galvin running from one side of the field to the other - not one player runs a hole, line, decoy - nothing….
This team has the intellect of park footballers - and it always has had.
The coaches (bar morris) included
Dude, we should just rebrand as the patient tigers. That’s all we’ve hadBe patient peeps 🤣
Absolutely!! Way ahead of where I thought he'd be at this point. Behind Api, first forward picked. Surprised also by his maturity. Was always happy to get a young, aggressive tearaway but expected a few sin-bins, suspensions & ill-discipline. Been well behaved on field!! Haha.Sam Fainu could be special. He has it physically and the effort is great. Love watching him hit the line. Our only player who is dangerous when doing it.
No you're correct but you can only play whats in front of you, we got back into it in any event. Then they put us away, its frustrating to get close and then nothing. We don't have the cattle i feared we would get a hiding when i saw the team sheet like a proper hiding like we've had the last few seasons.
You’re definitely not wrong there, our attack has been woeful at points. But that comes down to two things: one we simply just don’t have the cattle to put on those attacking plays, I mean just look at our backline. The second is simply where our focus lies, it seems we have put a lot of focus in defence and effort areas which is something we have definitely improved on. Combinations also play a big part and we’ve had to chop and change a bit due to injury and suspension. I think just give them time to gel as this is a very different spine to last year and it will change next year as well.Over the past at least 3 years we have massively had issues in the red zone. 5th tackle options have been atrocious especially the kicks!
So why in hell name don’t U muscle memory it by repetition, that’s what I would do. Until we get we get it right over and over again each training session for at least twenty to thirty minutes. Improve our weekness, that’s the aim. Hiw do u improve in anything without practicing it??
Seasons well & truly over. Give Api a couple of weeks off.I m think they should give API a leave pass. And Marshall is devoid of answers.
Might be playing SOO 🤔Seasons well & truly over. Give Api a couple of weeks off.
Bye next week.Seasons well & truly over. Give Api a couple of weeks off.
I think it might be both, Yoshi.Our issue is the cattle not the coach
