We need their pre Origin 2014 form back. Either that or we need new halves lol

Mbye has been your form half. Or as Rabs calls him...Mumbai.

The whole team has been out of sorts... can't blame it on one player.

Don't even joke about that!

Our kicking game is a real worry! Reynolds can come up with the odd 40/20 but we lose so much field position due to poor kicking.

We are constantly finding the man on the full, poor 5th tackle options and unable to get repeat sets, this puts so much pressure on the rest of the team because our halves cannot control a game nor do they have the creative flair to produce anything special.

I would like to know our stats on scoring trys inside 10m, i tend to think we score more from 20m+ out.

It's time like this we miss Brent Sherwin. He was able to do anything... field goals, 40/20s, goal kicking from the sideline, smart, poetic plays... that guy was an absolute genius!

Shifty was a born and bred play maker, got got pretty close to Origin one year before losing his touch.

Most halves these days seem to be really structured and manufactured, not as many natural play makers anymore.

Yeah because kids are taught to be robots from a young age. Coaches are to scared to let them make a mistake even at 12 or 13 because they are playing for sheep stations

That could be right, there do seem to be fewer instinctive players around these days.

If anything most NRL sides (including the Dogs) seem over coached to me, if the game plan and the set plays are not working, the players seem to have no plan B.

A key consideration for kids sport should be making it fun for kids, that is the whole idea.

Let's face it not many kids go on to be NRL players who really cares if the U7's won or lost.
The kids should enjoy the game regardless of the result.
