I want to make a thread about Foran / DCE NOT about how wonderful they are, or how much they are worth, or who they are going to play with. This is solely about their on field performance.
I'd love to know what peoples thoughts are with their performances and results ON the field of late?
Personally, I think they are failing miserably. Their team looks out of shape, and there is no structure (they aren't leading the team around well).
Take AWAY the fact they have scratched TWO solitary wins from their past eleven games or something, do people think we look ok?
Personally, we looked MUCH more structured, disciplined, and lead properly with Orford at 1/2 back. Foran isn't a ball player, he's a ball runner similar to Nik Kosef in my opinion, and really isn't ideal at 5/8 in my opinion (would make an ok centre, and a pretty good lock).
I think we should consider putting Lyon back to 5/8, and shuffling Foran to maybe 1/2 back, centre or lock.
DCE is trying to do too much. He's grossly out of form. Kicking balls out in the full, getting hammered in defense and attack.
These kids should be dominating, but the results over the past 2.5 months say the opposite.
Or am I seeing this completely wrong? Please guys, keep this thread about MANLY, and the on field stuff.
Do they need to change their style? Is their form poor because our forwards aren't dominating? Heck, ARE they dominating, and we just aren't getting the wins?
One thing I noticed, is that we have a much flatter attacking line. This reduces the time our halves get. Could that be it?
On current form, I think we need to consider our options (by that I mean playing style), because DCE and Foran seem to have been worked out by the rest of the competition, and they are getting shut down far too easily now.
