Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3440576, member: 9052"] We dont have attack because we lose the field position and possession stats 35% : 65%... primarily because of weak defence that has no impact and is unable to force the opposition into errors, compounded with poor discipline and poor fitness. In attack we make no dent on the opposition defensive line and then push passes sideways on the back of no momentum, leading to errors and gifting field position to the opposition. Opposition quickly realise that they can walk through our pillow arm grabbing defensive line with zero concern for strong physical first contact, which allows them to effectively go into training drill mode, control the ball with ease and offload freely. Eventually the huge amount of possession against, and no ability to force errors, kills any fitness that we do have and the defensive line becomes as resistant as wet tissue paper. The complete lack of physicality and energy from our forward pack is the root cause to pretty much everything else that happens. Patty, Flegler and Kobe are the only ones that bring consistent energy both sides of the ball and Turps can bring line speed in defence.. Kobe has been down recently because he's literally been injured mid game for the last 4-5 weeks straight (shoulder vs Tigers and HIA's at least 2-3 times). Flegler has been the sole forward trying to bring any sort of intensity to the entire team and is a reason why Haas is not worth the money he wants at this club. He's 120kg and refuses to play with any intensity even if the opposition forward pack is coming at him... he's catch and cuddle defence and that's it... that's the style that Damian Cook uses so he doesnt get blown off every tackle. A 120kg prop forward defending in the same manner as a 90kg hooker... he defends the same way Paix does... No idea how he injured his AC joints considering he never uses his shoulders in tackles [/QUOTE]
