The game plan to beat it is to not let them score or get too far ahead. As much as their kick returns conserves their pack, their aggressive defence wears them down
The whole point of structure is to accommodate players that lack football instincts. The more instinctive the player the less structure he needs.
We scored more points then Souths last year…..
What about inside the oppositions 30m?
And keep the ball away from them, obviously
By playing to our strengths rather than trying to play like them
Did we score a lot of long range tries? If so, why?
Not during the 9's!!! Tries under the posts FTW!!! FFS......
I think it can legitimately be considered an area of weakness and something to focus on and improve to increase the total amount of tries. As other teams who score less from further out could improve that area of their attack. So I don't know if scoring more from further out comes at the expense of scoring fewer closer in.
Yes but shouldn't we look to improve areas of weakness? If scoring more tries further out comes at the expense of scoring fewer closer in then fair enough, but I don't think that's true.
If you score from further out, doesn't that mean you didn't get closer in and therefore couldn't score from closer in (because you can't score twice obviously)?
No I think the stats go by how many times you scored relative to the number of times you were in the 20.
But you need to be in the 20 to score regardless.... the tryline is on the other side of the 20.
For us that’s defence. The best attacking side (Melbourne) only scored an extra 2 points per game. Meanwhile we conceded 6.6 points per game more than Penrith. That should be our focus. Hopefully we find some defensive toilers among the new recruits.
That might be the priority (and usually is) but it's not everything.
It should be close to everything. Our attack was premiership quality. Our defence wasn’t.
