This is what I'm getting at, last year and the year before he was a control freak trying to tell players exactly how to play. Now we have players allowed to play whats in front of them. I just find it hard to believe that such a dramatic personality shift can voluntarily take place.
The big change is we now have a half back who can organise the team to be in the right position to play what's in front of them.
We can play what's in front of us, BUT we still need to first set it up with good metres, good field position, and confidence from the entire team that our playmaker WILL get us into the right areas of the field "To Go For It".
Without a good half back, if we tried playing what's in front of us, I think it would be a rabble.
A good halves pairing, a strong forward pack... and then playing what's in front of us, should keep working.
But Hunt is the key.
