I'd say it's a combination of two things. The first is Hook's no frills approach to football. The second is that many of the players that you mention aren't overly skillful anyway.
I don't rate Reed or Wallace as skillful players. To a lesser extent McCullough. I think Norman has it in him, but lacks serious vision. Hoffman I think has the ability (I've seen him to do a Q cup level) but seems to lack the confidence to do it at NRL level. We were kind of spoilt having cutie there, anyone is going to be a step down in that department.
Hooks simple approach could be effective if we had another Hodges, that can produce something individually. Otherwise we need to be constructing plays as a team, otherwise I think we will again struggle to score points. Anyway, we are still making a heap of errors trying to play simple :crazy: So might as well throw a bit more caution to the wind.
