weakness

[bmwpower]

we all know our strength lies in defense, then strike in attack, but what are our weaknesses.

ill start with, the team getting rolled sometimes in the ruck by teams who play the ball faster and do scoots, eg penrith, knights and tigers game.

Our right edge attack lacks potency.

I have struggled to find anyone who agrees. But FINALLY i have haha. We need to slow down the play the balls by getting lots of players into the tackle cos most teams carve us up down the middle.

I have also thought that we lack flare, creativity and speed from dummy half (sorry but Dean Young aint no hooker. Hes big and slow). Nathan Fien looked great today however and he may be the answer.

Finally we have a tendency to give away too many penalties which may cost us later in the season in close games.

As mentioned i think our defense around the ruck can be exposed if teams get some quick play the balls. We have given up some soft tries in the middle of the park the last couple weeks. Also our right edge definitely isnt that strong in attack, though our left side is lethal

tITANS hammered us with quick ptb's to get out quickly

The quick play is anyones enemy.

People are forgetting we have been missing Jeremy Smith for over 10 rounds now. He tightens up the ruck immensely, and it's no surprise teams started making easier meters up the middle once he was injured. He'll go a long way to fixing the issue once he's back. And as for our right edge, whilst it isn't deadly, we have seen some good trys come from down that edge in the last few weeks, it's improving, but our left edge is just so brilliant it kind of makes the other side look ordinary.

Exactly - every team is vulnerable to it. We've had smaller guys like Florence in there in recent weeks which exacerbates it, plus Mick Weyman is often caught out getting into marker. Getting the J-Dog Smith back will obviously be a big help

 

[SN0WMAN]

Some of this fast ruck plays were destroyed when they met a firey J Smith - think it will dissappear again when he returns.

 

[Mr Red]

we looked a bit dodgy yesterday against the short inside pass - there are a few culprits in defense (Green, Hunt were the main offenders) that didnt slide across with the rest of the defense therefore leaving a hole on the inside. Manly took full advantage of this a few times..

 

[jpaciocco91]

giving away stupid penalties after lying around after making tackles. Not letting go after "held" is called. It definitely not as bad as before, though, which is good. Bennett must be doing his best to rectify it.

 

[God-King Dean]

I don't think we have any blaring weaknesses.

At times we struggle to make room for Boyd as 3rd receiver & he either just takes the tackles or turns the other way & does a Timmins crab walk.

Soward struggles against the big men one-on-one in defence.

That's all I can really think of.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Only weakness I feel they have is in their support play. Hornby especially makes some good breaks but no support on the inside for him to pass it to. If they rectify that then the Dragons will be even pore potent in attack.

Their attack and defence is great regardless. Soward has the opposition guessing when he gets the ball which is awesome to watch.

weaknesses:

• matt cooper's speed. seriously he looks like he's stuck on a treadmill
• brett morris' try scoring ability. 14? after how many rounds? seriously brett, pick your game up.
• michael weyman's hit ups - mick, you're supposed to go forwards, not backwards.
• jeremy smith's tackling - gimme a T, gimmie a U, gimmie an R, gimmie an N, gimmie an S, gimmie a T, gimmie an I, gimmie an L, gimmie an E.. what'ya get?
• darius boyd's kick returns - may as well just do a surrender tackle.
• jamie soward's kicking. woeful. worst i've ever seen.
• wendell sailor's enthusiasm - seriously, the guy doesn't even look like he wants to be out there, or part of the team
• dan hunt's offloads - someone needs to tell the boy it's okay to pass.
• wayne bennetts' coaching - someone send nathan brown an SOS, ASAP.
• neville costigan's defence - seriously nev, harden the f**k up!
• justin poore's attack - justin, it's not netball mate.
• the depth of our playing roster - a few injuries and state of origin and we fall to pieces, giving our worst result of the season..
