BA is apparently not concerned with our attack or our lack of pointscoring chances last night. I am afraid I don't understand. How are we going to beat teams if we don't score points?

Point taken, but it was still boring to watch. I understand we had to make a lot of tacklles and our D was good, but it it pretty boring to watch 5 plays and then Moses kicks the ball on the last and hopes. Where wrre our wingers to get us out of trouble and on the front foot? Just sayin. I would jjust like us to get back to how we were playing in attack earlier in the year. Moses was running then, but he isn',t now. His calf injury must be affecting him obviously
A well informed coach would be concerned in all facets of the game. Defence is only one part in isolation and attack should have been as important. Too many excuses in the last 7 years and BA even a likely person, in my opinion has proven that his team can not progress while he is in charge.
Good points gents
I've said it in another blog and I'll state it hear again.
If we want to be a great side then we need to be able to wrestle momentum away from the other team and away from the refs. The only way to do this is to bash the opposition in defence, force errors through line speed and our halves need to offer a bit more creativity coming out of our end. 20/40 perhaps or kicking early in the count to get the hell out of dodge.
I don't know but the truly great teams don't allow their opposition to have 67% possession for 80mins - we do and look for excuses to boot.
You can't bash team when you have pea hearts like Lane. Matterson is also a little soft. Can you imagine someone like Stone or Nathan Brown with Mattersons body ????
What ever they’re doing at training they need to stop because it’s not working. Panthers win the most tackle re-set because of their speed of play the ball. Attack starts from speed of the play the ball and smart dummy half running, not a Nathan Brown charge from the back fence or fighting for post contact metres.
Run hard, hit the deck and fight for quick play the balls. That’s how you get the defence back peddling then shift wide on the 4th or 5th tackle. All these small effort areas we’re not doing like the top sides.
Mosses is too predictable. He needs more kick varieties, like short kicks behind the defence with charging kick chasers or kick to the wingers... not just his usual Hail Mary bombs.
