Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2976976, member: 8215"] Souths may have been guilty of taking the Dragons too lightly, even after we were thumped. I don't think they'll be taking the Roosters lightly. Our points don't come from individual brilliance. They rely on the whole team building the platform and then allowing the attacking plays to unfold when in position and with the defence suitably pressured. People like to make out that Bennettball is boring and uncreative and to an extent, in isolation it is, but it is quite simply getting the tough stuff right that allows the attack to be unleashed. To that extent, very few teams don't play their own version of Bennettball. The teams that don't are generally the ones with far more creative attack but don't prioritise building the platform first, at least not as methodically. Say, like the Tigers and Warriors before this year (where they started to build better structures), but most apparent would be the Raiders. Hence why they are often so amazing to watch, but terribly erratic. The reason we've lost the games we have, and looked poor doing it, is because we've [I]failed[/I] at the Bennettball side of the job, and compounded the errors with low risk plays or simple brain farts due to fatigue.
