I've tried to look on the bright side of football, but seriously, we're in the sh*t. I just can't see us making the 8. I've read on this forum how against the Storm our attack was terrible and our defence was good.
Defence: It's all good smashing the crap out of the opposition forwards, but the final score still ended up 20-Nil. But for two try-savers in goal and Jake Webster nuffing it up half a metre out, the Storm would have run up 32+.
Attack: Jesus. By the time a Raiders gets tackled.......gets up........plays the ball, the next hit-up has made 3 metres because the opposition's had an eternity to get set. It's been happening most of the season. Fire up fellas!!
Chip kicks on our 40 metre line. We've had 'em from Brad Drew and now they're being served up again. I can't think of a better way to give the opposition 40 metres except to put Tyran on the field and watch the penalties mount.
Maybe I'm missing something, but surely we're better off punting the ball deep into the opposition half and.......CHASING IT AS A TEAM!! Make THEM run 80, 90 100 metres!! Just like every team that has beaten us has done to us this year. Try to get repeat sets from dropouts, force a mistake at their end, etc.
20 metres out we just crash, for reasons I cannot fathom.
