We simply have no idea in the same situation, move it slow, go down the line then are forced to bomb it into the f50. In the 4th year why can't we do that. We're not lacking decent players now.
Good call Jim, Tigers work harder than most at the spread and create a lot of easy over the back goals by running and spreading so quick...it has to be part of their game plan how they set up because they move the ball so quickly and they get a lot of cheap goals this way...
We go sideways too much and just look at the next kick/pass rather than two kicks ahead...you also see us with two players contesting the same ball or tackling the same player unlike the Tigers who laways seem to have loose players around the contest and ahead of the ball...
We have the talent now as you suggest we just cant seem to get enough players with smarts to read the play and help their mate out by providing options, its just haphazard and hope to get lucky..
