The short drop-out

[dazeely]

EELS
Total drop outs: 15
Short drop out attempts: 15
How often they go short: 100 per cent
Successful short drop outs: 3
Success rate: 20 per cent
The Eels are committed to the cause. On all 15 of their drop outs they’ve gone short, never wavering from the NRL’s newest craze. You’ve got to commend them for sticking to their guns, but it’s actually only yielded a result on three occasions. That accounts to 20 per cent of the time, the same success rate as the Knights.

Do you think we could mix it up to keep the opposition in two minds. Sad really

Given we have tall timber like Lane, and Matto, in the side, I'm flabbergasted as to why we are so bad at this.

I'm a fan of kicking long - make them run more, and get more tired.

 

[the phantom menace]

Kick it long, and try and get it to roll into touch as well.

Was a bit like picking Lussick for 80 each week. When you're on a good thing ..........

We were doing this before they changed the rules.

LOL

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

So you're saying we are shit at this also....

 

[Chipmunk]

I've shocked if we've ever trained a short drop out either in attack or defence....we're f**ken woeful.

I don't think they train anything....period

 

[Gherkin]

Our kick chase is terrible, if we go long they’d probably be inside the 20m by 2nd tackle so may as well go short

 

[Gary Gutful]

Of those 15 line drop outs, how many times have we been comfortably in front on the scoreboard?

 

[Bandwagon]

None.

We are f**king never comfortably in front on the scoreboard.

 

[Gary Gutful]

None.

We are f**king never comfortably in front on the scoreboard.

That was my point. Didn’t understand why people were surprised that we are trying to get the ball back all the time.

 

[King-Gutho94]

One of them was with 10 to go when up 28-18 against Manly in round 3.

Corey Waddell scored 3 tackles later.

The reason I remember it was a dumb move at the time when up by 10 with 10 mins to go.

And gave a Manly a late sniff in a tight game.

Thats dumb.

 

[oldmancraigy]

I'd be interested in seeing how often we get the ball when the opposition goes short?
It feels like we are horrid on that side of things....

 

[hineyrulz]

We are horrid in anything that needs attention to detail. We all know none of that was not the coaches job.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Of course it’s the coaches job to get the ball from the drop out. Makes perfect sense…

You earned this, well done.
