Despite the completely poor start to the year it is obvious sheens has drastically changed our style of play from the last two years. i know we have a new halfback but the style has changed dramatically.
* continually playing the first man - now we were never a team that relied on the boring second man play, but we have used it once all year and we scored (blair against manly) instead we are hitting the man at the line who has three defenders swarming in on him
* kicking early, i know we scored from it tonight but ive lost count of the amount of times we've kicked on the second and third tackle when on attack this year
* mid field bombs. seriously wtf? we're 40 out and instead of pinning them in their own in goal and macking them ruck it 100ms, benji puts massive mid field bomb up EVERY single time, it lands on the 20 and we havent got possession back once
* attacking to the right. for the last 3 years our left side of ellis, lawrence and tuiaki/lote/whoever has been our go to and scored the bulk of our tries. in the 3 games this year we havent had ONE single backline play to our left. we have one of the best attacking weapons in the NRL catching a cold over on the left whilst we run all these plays for ayshford and ryan. had anybody seen the dragons right side defence in the first two rounds?? are we trying a shock tactic as teams expect us to swing it to the left? the only people its shocking is us fans
* benji the sole ball player. i know he is brilliant, but how well did we go from 2007-midway through 2009 when benji was our sole ball player? we were terrible. say what you want about lui but he took the pressure off benji and gave the teams something else to think about. i dont care if its miller, humble, farah or even moltzen (after getting a rocket) we need someone
this isnt another boring SACK SHEENS thread, however i am wondering why we have completely changed the style of play that got us to the top 4 the last two years in a row? it makes no sense at all
