Message: [QUOTE="rnabokov, post: 2736823, member: 1847"] No, I got your point loud and clear. Maybe my approach is overly simple. If you have the strike power as we do, it's not rocket science: you get the ball to the playmakers who ought to have structure and support with depth. We showed we can do it with some glorious tries, then we retreat into some kind of shell - like last night with Milford getting tackled way too often with the ball and no support runners. By all means experiment with lots of wonderful, innovative structures and set plays, but seriously, the basics of good football with players like Milford, Roberts, Oates, Boyd is for my simple mind, well, simple: give the ball to Milford and Hunt who either score with individual brilliance, or ideally, just then get the ball out to support runners with sufficient depth - like Roberts. I mean, that's basic attacking football and every team plays it well or not, and every team has to defend it, well or not, now, in 3 months and during the GF. For mine, we are not doing it enough nor consistently for the full 80. But as you say, it's early days. But at some point in time, it might get too late [/QUOTE]
