Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2936028, member: 8215"] Two tries we conceded because players slip over. I think the whole of last year we only had one player slip over and it was Pearson 5 times in one game. Oates bombed two tries himself and there were a few more that went begging. It wasn't pretty but we had awful fucking luck and still managed to grind it out. When those passes stick we'll put on 4 tries in 20 minutes. There is literally only one component of the playmaking that we're missing and that's picking who runs where, ahead of time, to work over the opposition. Freddy said it in the commentary - we're taking it one play at a time with no forethought. We are getting excellent field position, we are getting the opposition on the back foot, and Milford's kicking game is coming along really well. But to convert that, to change our game from 2-point death wins to 20-30 point wins is a guy that makes sure players run to the left shoulder of Opposition X on the 3rd, and then between Y and Z on the 4th, and stick to it. The field position, the ascendency, will convert directly to points because all of a sudden we switch inside to X's other shoulder, and Z won't be able to cover the outside, and we slice through the gap. That isn't a difficult job, but it requires a cool head, and I still think Nikorima can do that. Bird can't at the moment because he's slow and telegraphed. [/QUOTE]
