What's wrong with our attack?

[Gary Gutful]

Congratulations.... but I was saying that it's not harder as you suggest, and extending that into our perceived problems . We don't create the space on the edges with short play, we just go straight to wide plays. Without using short play you don't create doubt and everyone knows where you're going.

So in other words - not what he said.

 

[Gary Gutful]

There are times where I find myself going 'calm down it is only tackle 2' but I should probably accept that it's not how we play. BA seems to have accepted it.

We don't do boring and structured in attack.

And we aren't going to change our style of play anyway.

Ummmmm...what I said.

In other words he should go back to stopping threads.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Thats what I said.

Thats what I said.

Which is what I said.

Says you.

 

[Bazal]

Says you.

So you say...

So what do people think now just over a year later?
Currently we are sitting dead last in attack with one round to go despite having the likes of Gutherson, Jennings, French, Hayne, Norman and Moses at our disposal. I think winning all those close games last season against nuffy teams papered over a lot of cracks and now those issues have finally come to a head.
As I said before I think under Brad Arthur the team has looked very poor attack wise since 2015 and I really hope this is addressed next season. Something needs to change!

You've made some good points. I suggest you make a thread about whether BA should be coach or not.

that thread already exists under the name "Eels Juniors: Part IV".

I think if we added Kaylen Ponga to this roster we would have a slightly below average attack. i.e. Arthur has to go.
