Its not deliberate though, im sure Price would love some individual players to actually bust tackles and create opportunities & breathing space, and im sure he tries to put together backline movements and plays to break a defensive line.. but it continues not to work.. as a result were back in the arm-wrestle due to lack of points.
If by Grind we are talking about 'percentage footy & good defence', then yes definitely thats what Price likes, but the Roosters were the best defensive side in 2013 iirc, and they scored an awful lot of points too.. no body wants to be needing to play at 150% every week to win football games against average NRL sides, you cant sustain that intensity.
The bit that Pricey doesnt seem to get though is that we will defend better if we score more points, the blokes need to believe that the defensive workload is worth it because the side can hold their own in attack, you cant just ask them to slaughter themselves in defence every week in tight arm-wrestles, without reward, I dont care who you are, in an elite competition you need to be motivated, you need to believe in what the teams doing.
