Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2902603, member: 8215"] I doubt there would be a stat for it, but I would like to know how many of these try-scoring occasions were [I]started[/I] in the opposition 20, like for example a penalty on their line. Because when we had sets that started on their line, we were clueless. The vast majority of those scored in your list would have come from when we started the set out further, and got to their line and eventually broke them through momentum and their defensive back-pedalling. Without that momentum, without the defence being stretched, we had nothing. Which is the main issue with having two running halves. Small halves running at a set defence is pointless - having a half that can organise the forward, use decoys to manipulate the defensive line, and having a genuine short kicking game is what gets results in those situations. But that's not to say our season is a write-off. For one, there's nothing to say that Kodi can't be groomed in those subtleties. And for the other, if our pack starts growing towards its potential, the momentum and offloads will create the gaps that our halves can't do on their own. [/QUOTE]
