Tom Symonds has proven a much more influential player tonight, I dare to say that Glen was very ordinary in attack tonight...
I say Tom to run on...
To the average observer in most games Glens ball playing is a positive and beautiful to watch----it will look great against average and sub standard defensive lines but against the top 3 or 4 defensive outfits it lacks sharpness it lacks hard tough running lines and does not commit the defensive line enough----it is so 2007 2008.
He plays too deep he lacks speed too much prodding dancing dummying and it increases our sideways movement allowing for easy defensive reads----this is why we kick in field a lot on that side of the field as a result of technical attacking flaws.
Great effort though to play 80mins but for years he has been playing overweight and should not have started.
You can talk all about needing and getting "match fitness" etc etc but that is crap, pre season is when you build your fitness levels and you don't need game time then. Match fitness is mental and physical toughness absorbing the week to week battle not weight issues.
Have to agree with this. He's floating side ways on the edge and not providing any penetration. Manly's attack is too sideways for my liking -
