How the hell do we have Durdin, Owies and Fantasia playing and we have TDK doing the roving work while those 3 are largely MIA.

Season over if its anything remotely serious.

Young has done nothing and Kemp can't hold down 2 KPPs by himself and the cupboard is bare behind him.

They've swapped roles. Smalls on the lead, talls picking up the crumbs 🤣

Getting the clearances. Not enough fwd pressure. Fluffing easy shots. Defence asynchronous to say the least. Makes for easy pickings by the opposition 🙄

We can get the ball out of the ruck because we have 2 rucks.
We can't get the ball back once we turn the ball over because we have 2 rucks.
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.

We either.....
a) can't hit a leading target,
b) are not even trying to hit a leading target
c) or there is no leading target to kick to.
Then you make silly conclusion.

Either way, its a knock on for the extra ruck and consequently lack of run/pressure.
You're obsession with the two rucks makes you come across like a goose. We've run down opponents and forced turn overs almost at will, then we kick it back to them from clear space and all our blokes are caught out of position pressing forward.

If we have a tall problem up until now it's Young who has been a virtual non-attendance, but if Weiters is out he'll be needed critically to lift.

Fantasia holding his spot in the team while doing SFA is really starting to make me wonder if there is more to it.

The blokes best footy was flakey and even that is well behind him.

Young is a confidence player....he has no confidence at the moment.
If Weitering has gone down, it's his moment to step up.

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.

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.

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 ;)
