Both were terrible as forwards. Then Casboult struggles as a lone key forward as every defender goes to him. Surprised you never picked that up.
You can still win the clearances to a losing ruck. Clubs do that all the time. Focus on that.
Taps don't worry me, as about 15-20% at best may go to advantage. I prefer performance around the ground.
Its not about taps. Its about working Goldstein over.
You let Kreuzer run around as much as possible and get free. When he gets tired, you give Phillips a run and do the same. Eventually Goldstein gets tired. Then you run him around some more. Sooner or later you get more of the ball around the ground (playing 2 rucks) then you would if you go one on one.
As for Phillips. You conveniently forgot him taking a strong mark and kicking the sealer to get us up over the line against the Bombers?
Abject failure? :-[
