I like how we're looking to play ourselves back into form through positive, expansive(but mostly structured) football rather than focusing on not making mistakes. It's the quickest way, IMO. I respect a lot of what Cleary did for us as a coach, however I think his game plan would have revolved around the latter, were he trying to drag us out of a slump.
Watching some of the footy shows, listening to some of the calls to RadioSport & looking at this forum, it seems that TL is polarizing quite a few people. Pretty sure Matty Johns claimed he wasn't an NRL quality half (which is ridiculous given how many average ones there are running around). On the flip side, last week the entire radio commentary team had TL as MOM. The most common criticism of him seems to be that he offers nothing in attack. He's starting to do a pretty decent job in an organizing role, IMO. We saw some pretty fluid backline moves today & he played his part in a number of them. Having said all that, the best football I've seen him play is from the hooking role, so I'd have no issue with him being shifted there if need be. The most important thing is that we have other credible options in that position to put pressure on him to earn his spot. Hasn't often been the case in the past.
