  • Our halves were shocking today, how many times were we tackled on the 6th tackle???   Our support play was also terrible, a sign that the team needs a rocket.

    • Wouldn't james Roberts just been perfect
  • Most frustrating thing to watch!!!
    Why wouldn't you put a kick in of any sort to attempt to get a repeat set???
    I don't know who's idea that was, but I'd much prefer it gone!!!!
  • All Sandow. How many times was he tackled on the last. I don't know why we try to score on every tackle.
  • they dont believe in BAs game plan, or there is no game plan, first grade footballers , that cant catch a ball . How much are they on?

  • At the end of the day...the 5th tackle options...were no worse than the previous 4.....

  • It seems that most teams are able to force a goal line dropout.

    We don't, so we can't impose extended periods of pressure.

  • Our last tackle options were poor today.

    Sandow and Morgan were tackled with ball in hand.

    Can we even count to 5?

  • We're constantly trying to go around the defensive line rather than through it. Our halves end up wide, which would be no issue if they could hit the corner like Cronk or grubber in like Thurston, or if a kick through had a good kick chase. None of which apply for the Eels. We just seem to bomb from afar and hope, or we run it. We're not constructing any plays in the opposition 30, in effect.

    Maybe they need to run better forward charges with better decoy supports, trying to go through not around. And then if they don't go through they have dragged players out if position so going around is more effective.

    It comes back to the halves I think.
  • Our forwards aren't gaining enough metres to put pressure on the other team, but yeah bad from norman and sandow today.
