The problem we will continue to have that makes me fear we may even miss the eight is that sides with little flair in attack like ourselves have no room for error at all in defence. We will always show our usual courage in defence but when you cant score more than 10 or 12 points,sides like parra,tigers etc can have a bit of luck and some razzle dazzle and those games can be lost as well.The tigers game was a gimme a month ago-they will start favourites out there against us now.
Make no mistake-there is no sugar coating it-we are a brave side with little penetration and while I can see our defence getting better in the latter rounds due to desperation I see absolutely nothing that gives me hope in attack other than Faoso upping the tempo and making us play more direct.
A few weeks ago the coming stretch looked like a nice run but our travails in attack mean there is not a single game where we can bank on two points-no attack means dogfights and games coming down to luck and refs decisions and that is not a recipe for success.Each week is a replay of the same movie in offence and nothing changes. Our legendary resolve will be needed to play finals this year.
