  • Agree.... And Sandow needs to get into dummy half and sometimes 2nd receiver and sometimes the running back in our backline movements.

    The team has some good shape in attack and you have Paulo, Hayne, Norman that can throw simple passes if we have the right players running the right lines at the right times.

    We can vary our attack in a way most teams cant.
  • did we keep sefa for 2015

  • You don't have to split your halves in attack, there is no rule saying you must.


    I agree with the general gist of this post completely, in that I think that Sandow needs to be given more attacking license to bob up wherever he sees a threat this year. if you are going to have Norman plodding along, not really doing much of anything, you can't have him controlling an entire side in attack.

    I think this year was a stepping stone to that, he has proved he can play first grade footy again, now let him play what he sees. He is too good an ad lib player to shackle and he is not a Cooper Cronk type player anyway, he is an old school footballer who plays on instinct. 

  • A good coach will change his plans according to his players
    In the red zone all Norman can do is thow a long pass, it is anticipated and intercepted
    If Norman tries to kick it goes dead
    We need attack on both sides
    When did we once score of a kick to the left side
    When you have two very different halves with different skill sets you don't split them left and right in attack because that is what works for most other teams with two good attacking halves
  • Free alfie
  • Split halves are the best option for our team. Both Norman and Sandow organise their sides and given the amount of tries our wingers scored this year I'd say they did a pretty good job. Execution and decision making is something both of our halves need to work on.

    • Ham I respect you know infinitely more about this than me
      But seriously
      In the red zone Norman can't grubber in goal, he cant bomb it to his tall winger he doesn't worry anyone with his running
      All he can do is pass
      We need more on the left side in the red zone
  • Not a bad idea Wile E

  • Maybe Sandow needed his responsibilities stripped back this year
    But next he has to step up
  • No he can't, that's why Sandow is our dominant kicker more often than not he'll get the ball on the 5th tackle and do what he does. Norman doesn't kick to Semi because that'd be an awkward angle to kick to.
