The kicks ended up low trajectory due to the precipitation pushing the ball back down towards earth. Next week we'll be fine.

One common thing to the charge down era is the coach.

Thwts juet not even close to being true.

Finch, kris keating and mortimer under the previous two coaches had the same problems.

Lack of a class hooker for a long period is the biggest factor imo

Keating was partly at fault as his service is just shithouse but the kicker on a few ocasions didn't kick high enough. Most of the kicks that were charged down were low trajectory Kicks.

probably cos it is hard to charge down kicks that are over your outstretched arms


tbh, i don't think half the "charge downs" were charge downs - we just kicked the bloody thing into them

After Roberts went off all the defence converged on Sandow on the 5th tackle.

Keating looked like he wanted to use Sandow as a decoy a couple of times but when he looked the other side of the ruck there was no merkin there ready to kick the ball.

Kicker too shallow. Bad shape in attack, kicking when we aren't getting quick play the balls or kicking when we haven't bent the line back the play before.

But what gets me more is the way we make a half break and have no idea what to do the next play so someone just hits it up.

I thought last year was the worst I've seen for charge downs.
But you are right about dummy half service. It would be nice to have another option at 9.
