Red Zone hit-ups

How many tackles are we wasting in the opposition's red zone with simple hit ups? While I think Alvaro and Brown are good players, someone needs to tell them we don't need a hit up when we are 10 metres out from the tryline. I reckon we wasted about 25-30 tackles in the red zone with players hitting the ball up 1 out. I saw 2 potential attacking plays break down today because the ball reached Alvaro and passing it never entered his mind. Makes it easy for defenders to swamp him which in turn results in a slow play the ball and the defence having time to reset. While this isn't parra's only issue at this stage it is 1 thing that is driving me insane. Ask some questions of the defence FFS!!

  • If we had a forward who could at least smash the line with the hit up, we could at least get a quick play the ball, or poke his head through.
    What people don't realize with our small forward pack, its almost impossible
  • Brown good hard player ....alvaro yep nah.
