Yes we have gone off the boil a bit. OK no argument and as a dragon fan I want to see us winning.
I note some on the forum blame a 'power game' approach. Every team plays a power game and has big forwards trying to lay the platform.
Blake Lawrie looks a tough no nonsense type to me.wouldnt write him off.
I am one of those that mentioned the "Power Game" approach- but not that I thought doing it was a negative - but that once the opposition teams muscled up we had no Plan B.
It's the one out, take the tackle and do it again, while the rest of the teams jogs behind and watches that I find frustrating. And with playing busted forwards atm you would think that the backs would stand deeper and they would spread the ball sooner so they had some space to run in to take pressure off the forward pack.
Early in the season our forwards were bending the opposition D line and regularly off loading to close supporting runners, esp. Vaughan and JDB. Atm its tuck it under the wing, take the tackle and try for a quick play the ball. When that's the predominant play our team has the backline stands flat on the advantage line and gives itself no space to get around defenders on the outside if an opportunity presented itself.
With Dufty, Dugan, McDonald all capable of beating players one on one it is rare to see them get the opportunities that they should.
It all gets down to the coaching, and that's where the buck stops. Because we have a coach with no idea.
BTW, I'll through in $1000 as well.
