First of all I do apologise to the terribly offended people who could not stand to have someone voice their opinion. Next time I will trawl through every post to make sure I don't repeat anything.
You know when someone has too much time on their hands when they go onto a thread just to point out they have heard it before.
Simple solution close the thread read another one, stop whinging.
As you said Suity move along, you just failed to do so.
Mrpwnd very insightful, thanks for your comments Watson.
Poupou, as someone who added a comment of note. I think you are underestimating what an organising halfback does for a team. You can have structure but you need someone barking orders at players to constantly get into the right positions. Sometimes halves literally shove players into spots prior to the next play.
No matter how structured your style of play is, unless you have at least one player (or hopefully multiple players) who can remind every other player what his role is and where he needs to be during a set it won't work effectively.
An effective set generally means the side will constantly reload on both sides of the ruck to create options for the defence to look at so they can't zero in on someone. This doesn't happen all the time sometimes due to fatigue or sometimes because the team lacks direction from a cheif organiser.
Whether its exit sets or attacking formations on good ball sets you need someone to make sure your players in the right spots, even if they are tired.
Watch all the teams that regularly play well, someone in that team will be doing a heap of finger pointing, yelling and even physically moving players into positions. Its also why runners are out of the field so much, to help in this role, its why playmakers so often become runners.
I think out halves lack execution at times with their skill and lack the ability or confidence to take the team by the scruff of the neck including Jarryd's and demand they are where they need to be.
I'm pretty sure at the storn with smith, cronk and slater they do plenty of organising and I'll bet between Hornby, Soward and Fein its the same there.
Thats why I am a little concerned about Sandow, he is more talented than Morts or Robson but he seems to lack in that role, which is one reason why Souths don;t win more. But as others have said (sorry suity) he is still probably going to help the team rather than send them backwards.
I'll get in trouble for being too long now.
