That's pretty much how I saw it LP; corridor unless there's no other option. When we did go down the wings (usually well inboard of the boundary), many of our forward 50 entries were 45 degree kicks to around true CHF or a bit closer to goal.
I'd categorise Vossy's game style as high risk, high reward but only when the risk isn't too high.
Yeah, that's how I see it, far less of the bomb it forward regardless type stuff, not that I'm against that when you have someone like BigH in F50. BigH may well have to work harder under Voss, on repeat efforts, but when he gets his chances it is likely they will be cleaner.
One thing with Nthmond's run and gun manic pressure type game is that they have to commit 100% to moving in one direction as a swarm. A patient team that is prepared to yoyo the ball around can probably run them into the ground with direction changes. It will be interesting to see how the rule changes affect Nthmond, because their tackling and dumping tactics could almost get interpreted as a type of delaying. Historically whenever they started to get panelised for it the umpires were been publicly bullied into letting them get away with it by Dimma's eternal media bleating to "Just let them play!"
