[QUOTE="Porthoz, post: 2940502, member: 2221"] We don't have the players to wear our opponents down. We are not a team that will grind the opposition into submission, we are a team that can score more than the opposition, rather than a team that can make the opposition score less. On the rest of your post, I am not sure we disagree, except perhaps on the reason why it isn't happening. Not knowing when to use inside balls, kick or spread it comes down to one thing: coaching. Not being able to execute a set play to break our of our half with an expansive play comes down to one thing: coaching. Of course, you need vision to do it, and I think Milford has it. He can certainly exploit defensive weaknesses, and has done it many times. Kodi is more of a runner who can take advantage of tired defenders, which is why he shouldn't be in the halfback position in the first place, and why I'm ready to take almost anyone there in his place. We have no variation in our attack, making it easy for the opposition to prepare for us, mainly by restricting Milford's and Roberts space, because when neither of those two has the ball, we have zero creative threat. We need to make them worry about who is going to break the line, not just wait in the knowledge that the ball will eventually end with Roberts, Oates or Milford in the hope of an individual effort, or Boyd for a sweep and overlap play, all of it after a set of one out hit-ups. I agree we have the makings of a good and creative pack, yet we don't have a tactic to exploit it. We have speed and agility to exploit that pack's creativity, but those players are being bogged down trying to follow a game plan that doesn't suit them, instead of for example, sniffing around for an offload from a TPJ, Lodge, Gillo, run lines with multiple players, keeping the opposition guessing who will actually get the ball, set plays with multiple outcomes with both halves participating and opening holes for our players to run through, kick a grubber behind the defensive line after getting the fullback out of position, compress the opposition defense to leave the winger isolated and vulnerable to a cross kick, etc... We do almost none of that in a structured way, and that is not only because we lack a halfback, but also and mainly, because we don't train for it. Look at what we were doing in 2015 with two running halves without a kicking game to speak of. We did exactly that to most teams, even when we still lacked the polish a good organising halfback would've given us. Why aren't we doing it now that we have a roster even less capable of playing a grinding awaiting defense and no halfback to steer us around the park and control the game tempo? [/QUOTE]
