I have noticed that over the last few weeks, we have played a tighter attacking game.
i.e. more finals like footy.
Only later towards the first half, we start offloading.
I think this is leading to our downfall especially against a bigger and fitter and more disciplined pack.
Against the panthers, I thought our forwards were outplayed in the first half and only Penrith's lack of discipline and fitness led to us being on top in the first half.
In the second half, we started our offloading and we kicked into gear. But this is against a big tiring forward pack.
The drags are a big, fit and disciplined pack. And they killed us as we cannot match them in the battle of the ground.
Although I believe that defense wins games, our offloads also throws the opposition in 2 minds in defense.
We should more or less start our expansive game earlier in the game.
That's how the tigers play and that's how we should play.
The tigers play their natural way from the get go. We have changed our game plan recently and I believe it is for the sake of Finals footy.
Just my observation.
