Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere but has anyone mentioned our FF line structure Newton Neitz Johnson = no crumbers and no defensive pressure. The ball was run out with ease
Early in the 3rd 1/4 inside 50's stats were not much different yet we had only kicked 1 goal. Seems to me we should be having a good hard look at the forward line as much as anything else!
No good blaming the back line when the team plays like that.FORWARD line 2 goals to 3/4 time , top heavy,no crumbers , couldn't lay a tackle because they couldn'tcatch anyone.
If he can't get up for the first game after playing just a couple of practise matches I'd be very pessimistic about how many games were likely to get out of him for the year
Been saying for ages , recent successfull chfs have been big bodied players.IMO not good enough to be a lead up chf, must be able also to take pack marks and bang and crash to open up opportunities for smaller players.
All successfull CHF in the past 10 years have been big bodied men. It has nothing to do with the odd centremeter , he is not big enough in the body ( strength )
