Not a huge fan of the no offload, percentage play edict. Will work v teams who make errors/bottom 8 teams, can't see it beating good ones. We aren't a side who is strong enough and professional enough to win arm wrestles, as we were from 2007-2011.
Still love to see some second phase play with the likes of RTS, SJ sniffing around but not likely to see it, unless Ben decides it's his go.
The problem is that this type of play has never done anything for us to date.
It's time for a different approach.
Kearney has deemed that they have to earn the right to throw the ball around.
And not just during the course of a single game either.
Over the course of the entire season.
Learn to defend, show you can get into a grind, and then halfway or more into the season you can start introducing the offloads.
This year is a slow reshaping of our style of play. Warrior Ball doesn't work. He recognises that it's time for something different.
