Message: [QUOTE="Raw Boned Youngster, post: 2215456, member: 1886"] I agree that this game was one of the better performances. I don't get how a side that trains together very frequently can be so disjointed and lacking in ideas in tackles 1 through to 5. It is not good enough for forwards to just run hard or for the halves to spin it wide later in the count. The team needs to move opoosition defences and defenders around. We don't. The guy who is going to receive the ball might as well have a light on him. As a result, defences can wrap us up without denting their patterns. Our very low off load percentages mean that second phase defence is rarely required. Defences stay in tact and we are not tiring them out. The golden attacking option in the game is to attack broken, disjointed or fatigued defences. We don't create this. I have been to Storm training sessions and the amount of time they spend on slight variations at the ruck is one of the reasons why they are such a dangerous team. They have decoy plays that look similar but are actually quite different. They move defensive players around and confuse teams all in their set up hit up plays in the early tackles. Cameron Smith, after a couple of weeks with the SOO squad, was able to create diversion plays brilliantly in games 1 and 2. Personally, I would spent any money we get from our yearly fire sale on a coach. Henjak's lack of creativity is a major disappointment. Tim Sheens is the man. [/QUOTE]
