Firstly, dont want Orford v Monaghan debate in this thread
I am starting to get a bit more worried about the finals. In the high pressure, big games this year, more often than not, Orford hasnt played well. Is anyone else concerned about this ?
He seems to get flustered, kicking game falls apart, and takes the poor passing options too. Also when we are on attack inside their 20, he doesnt take the game by the scruff of the neck like the other playmakers do, sometime only touches the ball 2 times a set.
We have 2 players that have been proven to be very good in the air, Robertson and Stephenson, why do we hardly ever see bombs to them.
Now, how can we improve some of this stuff
Well firstly for me, Monaghan plays 80, and a lot of pressure is gone from his kicking game, coz we have another good option there.
We get the forwards out of 1st reciever on attack, and Orford must demand the ball, and toe people up the arse that decide 3 dummy half runs are a good option 1 after the other.
any other thoughts ?
