How we can improve?

Any suggestions on how the team can improve?

One issue i see is we keep going to the standard double block play and teams are just sliding and reading it easily. Its obvious our forward pack isnt the biggest of packs. We need more inside passes and change of angle plays to tire out opposition forwards.

We have been rubbish in defence, what happened to our umbrella defence where our winger and centers use to shut the play down before it could develope? Our wingers and centers seem to be holding of on the ball runners letting them get close to the line aka the robbie rochow try. Hoffman shouldve hit him with everything, instead he was holding off for auva to arrive, its robbie rochow for gods sake that guy has never passed the ball in his life theres no reason not to jam him in that instance.

I would give more game time to trex, he was good when he came on and made massive difference in our attack. We need to get our wingers and center position sorted along with 1or 2 more forwards imo. 

Another issue is we are lacking that xfactor player we had when radradra was in the team. We need one of those players u give em the ball and they create something out of nothing. Its another point of attack and defensive lines react differently when they are around the ball. Hayne use to be one of those players, but he looks like he lost it.

Any thoughts on how we can improve?

  • If I had a dollar for every time that team runs a block play my pants would be around my ankles from all the f%%king dollar coins in my pockets. It's brutal.

    • Lol

    • LOL!!

  • Hmmm... What's Sandow doing these days?

    • He's busy playing for the Moranbah Miners in Mackay.

    • Drinking beers
  • Possession is king !

    That is the first thing that needs to be addressed, nothing else matters until that is rectified.

    • 100% correct.  The evidence is there. So possession is linked to ball security, which in turn is linked to discipline, which by a nasty loop is impacted by penalties given, and extra sets to the other side. I believe confidence is a byproduct of the Possession issue. No ball, no score, just tired and sore. I believe Bras knows what he is doing, it’s a major patience game until the right stock hits the market.  I will keep the faith. I believe this man was destined to lead us to a premiership.  

    • So what do you suggest allen? Do you even understand why we are losing possession?
