just my opinion
Granted Jamie and Stevie were a mighty hard act to follow our centres have been the perenial whipping boys on the silvertails forum. Poor old life of brian, parker, walker, suli week after week, game after game..
Sure they are a drop in quality compared to the A class we have become accustomed too but are they really guilty of letting us down
Every single one of them seems to have done more than enough rucks from our own end. They have been smashed. Dylan in particular makes that extra m or 2 each time
So we have to go back to blake green times to see walker and uate go gangbusters down that side , scince then zilch. Then green left.
Since then every centre has been smashed from pillar to post on and off the field. Ragdolled by kickchase and parker in particular has had to weather a storm of headhighs as he had targets on him , no centre should face week in, week out. Can the dude run, hardly ever see it, he is just a battering ram
So centres, left right, fat, skinny, gingers, moovers, groovers have all not just disappointed on here but disgusted and apparently its all there fault
Cust has played 6 weeks, he is a symptom but he is not to blame.
So in the last 3 years the only half able to get our centres moving was green . Since then our second rowers have essentially become chief tryscorers. Our centres as ruck men,
Our method is to go through the middle so we spend lots of plays chewing up easy metres. This is NOW our game so there are less chances for the backs , especially with marty and afb extending minutes
Tom turbo will be smashed by seasons end. He no longer gets the ball just coming into the line. Now he just gets balls thrown to him behind the line with nothing on and just told to create. This is not smart footy , he is targetted and will be heavily going into the finals as he is being isolated
Our game is not centre friendly, we constantly turn the ball under, or back to tom.he is often left with too little space. But mostly we are through the middle. For centres to get space they need early ball and for the half to run it, take them on , committ defenders early to get chinks out wide. We dont as our hookers run that part of our game .
When we decide to run and use the ball quite often its as last resort due indecisiveness and poor options which doesnt really qulafy as quality ball.
Our centres are solid, do a job and i think thats just the way it is. Bloody hell that jamie lyon was good thogh. He got stacks of early ball , who was on his side cherry or foz back then.
