Bloody dummy half running

[samshark]

Can someone please tell me what the f**k it is with all the dummy half running and one off the ruck we do especially after making a break down field.

FFS when you make a break down field the next play is the perfect opportunity to go wide and attack - the attacking players are deep with bodies in motion. The defence, if not offside is at least backpeddling and not set. So what the f**k did we do - run from dummy half or pass to a lone forward.

So who do you blame for this - Sticky's instructions, THE HALFBACK or dumb head Covell and forwards who dont understand the ball should be going wide.

Hey I wouldn't knock it! The dummy half running was the best part of the Sharks performance yesterday.

Yeah it was, but it was over used and it wasted several good attacking opportunities IMO. How often do you score from dummy half? We have already shown we dont have the attacking players to work off the momentum the forwards gain in the ruck.

So with our lack of attcking options we then need to make the most of the opportunities presented to us. Yesterday it didnt happen.

We're about as creative as spagetti on toast in the opposition 20, so whats left but a dummy half run.

No, waste of a tackling opportunity is when you get the ball after said half break and subsequent play the ball, an d it is the last tackle. You have one defender in front of you & 2 support players outside & the fullback isn't home.
so you kick it.

both teams used a lot of dummy half runs particulairly later in the halves as it was a hot day and a fast game

standard stuff
