Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3021538, member: 8988"] The problem isn't milfs kicking so much as that it is somewhat predictable and teams react accordingly. Both our halves have looked great when we are on the front foot and our opponents are caught flatfooted, but it's a rarity as we don't really threaten repeat sets and very often have it done to us. That and our (insane at times) uptempo game mean our skillful forwards are out on their feet. It becomes a catch 22 situation that tiredness leads to mistakes, that leads to repeat sets, that leads to tiredness, that eventually ends up with a phenomonaly average player looking like a Lockyer/Inglis/Slater hybrid scoring as an edge defence (shaky to begin with) wilts. We need a leader in the halves and in attack in general that understands our forwards (the whole team really) are not supermen who can just switch on after 3 repeat sets for a complex set of 6 ending with a chancey all or nothing dash or the like. They can however bend the line (and do). They can offload. They can kick chase pretty well (when they are not buggered). They have all we need from them and just need kicking, patience and the focus of our backs to match theirs, along with some sensibly managed end of sets. Id even agree we are not too far off for most of that but without a regular second kicker we will still be hampered. Without a leader in attack we will keep falling into the same trap I've outlined because inveribly one of the half dozen players trying to call the shots will stuff up or one of the others will get in the way.
