Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 2887865, member: 8988"] I think there's a point with injuries this year: the amount, but also the fact they occurred right throughout the year to different players of the spine. The cowboys lost some great players but they had the time to adjust (Scott) and the knowledge ahead of the finals to restructure in the case of thureson. They were huge losses but because they were ahead of the finals games, the same team would run out, week to week. They could form combinations, tactics and set plays accordingly. What I believe was an error in judgement was the constant changing of our halves, and with it, the way we play. Yes, some of it was forced with injury, but there was also a lot of picking our halves, based on week to week form. You pick the roles of the spine with the idea that 1 game is not enough to reach the full potential of the combination. Players who work together must learn to trust each others skills and adjust to the deficiencies when they exist. It takes a lot of playing together to do that. And if you are moved into a different role it doesn't mean you will have that same level of co-ordination, just because you played together in a different role. If that is learnt from this year, then we will have the ability to go all the way. The skills to do so are there (even with the ordinary kicking game) because we can play the game on our terms, provided we play as a team. [/QUOTE]
