Over the last five years opposition teams have waltzed down field and been able to either score or put in attacking kicks at ease - the dogs on the other hand have struggled to make metres with any consistency - if the dogs can at leasts match other teams through the middle Flanagan might be able to make a difference - to be effective Flanagan, like most halves, needs the forwards to get momentum and metres.
Plenty times the forwards have us in perfect field position only to be let down by the spine.
Ive sat there deja vu groundhog day watching it unfold that many times thinking well thats the end of that then, we got nothing, same shit every week.
Then we're on the back foot burning energy defending blown opportunities.
I hear what your saying and yes our forward pack has been soft but tries = momentum, possession, confidence and wins.
Relying on the forwards so Flange can get a clue doesnt fill me with confidence.
Anywhos new coach, new team, new year. Hopefully he can do a job for us.
