Run is very important.....but no player in the history of the game has ever run faster than the ball.
So fix up the precision and accuracy of the disposal ;)
We are getting clear possession from the centre, forcing turnovers across half back, and kicking it with nothing but our own perceived pressure straight to the opposition.

Horrible, horrible ball use into F50, our blokes BigH and Charlie are in getting in front on the lead and we sit it on their head.

From half back, it's like there is soap on the footy, even when we aren't under all that much relative pressure.

Our rucks aren't the problem here, in fact they are probably keeping us in the game.

The silly thing is this, you get it right a few sentences later as we are using it by foot like we are wearing clown boots.Then you make silly conclusion.You're obsession with the two rucks makes you come across like a goose.
Its a double edged sword though. They help and hurt us at the same time.

Its also related to our forward efforts. 3 big forwards takes up to much space. You constantly talk about players taking eachothers space and launching against eachother, thats part of the problem here. The leading space is reduced by 1/3 because you have the extra bloke in there taking up space.

If we have a tall problem up until now it's Young who has been a virtual no attendance, but if Weiters is out he'll be needed critically to lift.

Believe me, i didn't want Young in the side. In fact, if we were looking fit (pre-weiters injury) i would be subbing out Young and resting TDK back in his spot. Perfect time to give him a sniff at CHB and roll the dice.
