Message: [QUOTE="Thelmus, post: 3358186, member: 8988"] I think its a genuine worry we looked lost in that 20 metres attacking zone than either our defence or the mistakes of some of younger players. Id rather they things and fail in a trial rather than go through the motions. We seemed to be just using the tackles as weak efforts to try and strike through, rather than set the team up to expose a weaknes like a big slow winger, a dodgy defensive centre or kicking to attack short players with a good leap. We just rolled through some hit up or dummy half runs until we reach tackle and THEN try and enact that great set play at training (either a grubber overhit or a pass to back line player running each other out of space. Having said that it was just a trial, played in atrocious conditions, and with some last minute changes, but that type of effort in attack cannot be an acceptable performance for round 1 (with or without reynolds). I get the impression they will be flogged with defensive drilling going into round 1 and they definitely need it, but i think the halves need some work setting up a set of 6. Whoever plays halfback must be capable of setting strategic planning in attack and atleast oneof our halves who isnt reynolds must be specifically capable or we should start looking now for that type of player. The team too though must work in lockstep with them, because otherwise we will continue to see the likes farnsworth and staggs reduced to ",,stepping on a dime" to make something from nothing whilst facing being heavily marked.
