We have excellent attacking players who are not getting time to ply their trade. Wether the 10m is skinny, or wether our playmakers hold the ball to long or whatever the team is not getting enough room to dent the opposition with skill.
Its evident in Foz who is very brave in taking the ball to the line and it does produce results but he is flogging it a bit. Its easy to see with the short kicking game as its often so late, control is lost and it becomes a desperate stab. Anyone who watches the footy shows would hear A.Johns rave about this, so I wonder if it is a direct result of his coaching. Only posing a question.
Stevie seems to get more space when he gets the ball than lyon. Possibly a result of the inside work but i feel he stands a little deeper but most likely a combination of both
Daly just does too much with the ball too often. He is very deceptive and quite fast so its great at times that he leaves his option to run open , but he consumes a lot of time on a lot of occasions that is needed out wide. he played very well last night
The lack of go forward can contribute to that but with horo , choc doing a stellar job i think the loss of the props is a little over stated and the rotation make yards, are very mobile and play the ball quite quickly
We have the footwork and guile to worry the life out of teams, they just need some room to step. this is why brett is such a massive part of our attack, and its no coincidence he does his playmaker role when he receives the ball deep and has time to select
Manly are playing too much at the line, rendering many strike weapons useless to a point. They have invested in rolls royces but have entered them in a smash up derby
I just dont get it
