Problemo Numero Uno!!!

What are they going to do this week? Noddy couldn't land a ball inside the in goal area to save his life & with olympic parks in goal being 1.22metres deep, I don't expect that to improve.
Bomb the wingers?
Bomb the posts?
I don't know what they will do here, but I just hope Noddy starts getting some distance on his downtowns. Just a bit more releif for the defense could spark some more life.

The only saving grace is Noddy would be use to Olympic Park.
In behind the defence may be the go.

Kimmorley was master of the Oly Park in-goal up until 2000. He still has that sense of the ground one would think.

Sullivan's kicking is underrated.

I think the point made about kimmorley and his past expereince helping him deal with the short touches is very valid, I think it wont pose a major problem. I think he needs to play an expansice kicking game, chips, grubbers and bombs to keep them on their tows and not be predictable just using one kick. Certainly bombing Slater may result in dropped balls - which will be good for us as we gain good field position and will mean he loses his confidence and his performance will follow suit.

Already been selected S73.

If he plays another shocker, its only a matter of time till Saleh gets another crack. And rightly so.

Our kicking last week was appalling, abysmal, disgraceful and pathetic.

When the gale came up in the second half I thought "oh goody" and assumed the 40-20 attempts would follow

The Dragons wingers werent dropping back til late in the tackle count and Kimmorley still didnt try one

It was nothing short of infuriating. I think the problem with Kimmorley's kicking is as much a tactical problem as an execution problem.

I think the kick chase is actually a bigger problem than the actual kicks. No urgency is shown in our chase, they just jog down the field. Have we already lost the passion that we had just found? If we can't get revved up for a St.Geo-Illa game then we are in trouble.

Most good teams have genuine 2nd option.
We have BK and his general play kicking has been hot and cold.
It is also very easy for the opposition to rush him as they he is our only option.
That said our biggest problem is our defence.
