Just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Reckon our handball and pressure in and around congested packs has improved greatly from previous years. Well done to the boys and Roos/FD on this.

Much work needed on the outside/run work side though. Still handballing to stationary targets behind at times when the best option is forward and/or the overlap. Lumumba the biggest offender here last week. Running himself into trouble when a 2nd handball (after the old 1 / 2) forward or over the top on the overlap (as first option rather than continuing to run and carry after after the old 1/2 into congestion) is the better option for the team. Love his initial break away run but needs to work on this. Also players need to block for each other at times once he/others take off. Too many running in support for the receive. Can't all run and carry. Everyone needs to play their part.

Lumumba is a great potential asset off HB IF we can get the run and carry part fixed both with him and with what others are doing once he takes off.

The remarks regarding the coach also came to me as a surprise. 

The particular player has been on the outer (both omitted and injured) since Roos took the helm so it might just be sour grapes. 

The remarks were that the players are actually looking forward to Goodwin taking over.

 

Why did you actually feel the need to qualify your first post, you seemed to infer that it was 100% correct, can't be one of the 44 or so I speak regularly to

With respect Saty, you don't seriously believe that players will tell a supporter they are not happy with the Coach, if they in fact are.
