I can't help but recall Doc and sMurph or Simmo berating Cripps last year for not chasing the opposition after a midfield turnover. They really gave it to him out at CHB while the opposition setup for a shot on goal. Stuck in my memory, the old blokes berating the young captain. I think from the gestures they had expected him to insert himself between CHB and FB to fill a space.
My personal layperson's opinion is that the back 6 have been admirable in trying to keep out the marauding hordes. I think it's definitely a mids / forwards lack of pressure issue. The players' heads must be spinning with one coach doing the opposite of the previous one. Bolton started teaching defence and then added an attacking layer, Teague is now teaching all out attack and has to wind back and teach defence.
