That really was a poor win though. Great to win but gave me no confidence at all. So many insane mistakes.
Totally agree with this statement.
It was an ugly win. Lack structure in attack and defense was woeful.
Did we even get off the line to tackle?? The line speed was terrible. It just looked like we were going through the motions.
Slow in attack and too many mistakes. Off the cuff should only be played in 2nd or 3rd phase play and then with calculated risks. You are taught the basics of draw, pass and catch. Why is this so hard for our players to understand???
The less mistakes you make in a game, the higher the chances are to win.
I would prefer a game plan centered around low risk play and high energy defense. Marshall will never ever be able to play in a conservative fashion as his up bringing was centered around being a touch footy player.
I reckon Anasta is being played in the wrong position. I would play Anasta at Lock and and Blair in the 2nd row where he can run those good lines on the fringes. Anasta would give extra direction in attack and just let him have a free role.
I also thought that Miller looked good in patches but still struggles to direct the side like most halfbacks do. Marshall needs to know his place in the side and let the half back direct the game. Marshall is better when doesnt need to direct the side around as he cant see pass 2 or 3 plays ahead to where the side should be directing their attack.
Sorry long rant but i didn't see alot of positives today and need to improve alot for our next game.
