From the scrum, the five eight (A6) takes the ball hard into his opposite number.
Once tackled he plays the ball as quickly as possible.
The scrum half moves into acting half back, while the back three forwards (11, 12 and 13) loop around and attack on the first play.
Attacking from Scrums - Short Side Attacker 1
THE SHORT SIDE ATTACKER
An extra man can be introduced into the line by using a winger or centre from behind the blindside. The extra man can either loop round and try to break the line himself,
or join the line early and try to create the gap for someone else.
The blind winger, A5 times his run, and arcs off the inside centre breaking the line himself.
Attacking from Scrums - Short Side Attacker 2
THE SHORT SIDE ATTACKER
An extra man can be introduced into the line by using a winger or centre from behind the blindside. The extra man can either loop round and try to break the line himself,
or join the line early and try to create the gap for someone else.
The blind side centre, A3, receives the ball on the open side from the scrum half. By slick handling the open side winger, A5, is given an overlap.
Attacking from Scrums - The Fullback
THE FULLBACK
He is able to time his run and select any option, and can join the line to the open side or blind, and in between any of the players. The art of a good attacking fullback is to arrive in a space before his opposite number. The fullback enters the line between the five eight and inside centre.
Alternatives are to (i) enter the line in a catch-pass situation and create extra men out wide, or (ii) be used as a decoy. It is important for the blind side winger to cover behind from a scrummage.
Attacking from Scrums - The Look Forward
THE LOCK FORWARD
The loose forward is perhaps the only other player who can enter the line from a scrummage and create an extra man.
The scrum half carries the ball forward, and off loads to the loose forward on his inside, after first committing the defence.
Attacking from Scrums - Using a Player Twice
The five eight (A6) runs around both centres, while the fullback runs as a decoy between them. The aim is to move the ball wide to the five eight in space, after having brought the defensive full back into the line. The blind side winger covers for the full back

Is there any point to making a constructive thread round here these days? It's no secret that a lot of you want Des sacked. Most of us understand that the consensus from a fairly vocal group here is that he doesn't give our side attacking plays to work with. Not everybody agrees, but so few people are bothered to try and push the shit uphill when it comes to trying to combat the fact that people are going to just say "nahh your wrong sack Des" regardless of how much sense they make or how long it might take to create a positive constructive post. It's why I barely read the forums here or post anymore.
Truth is that we have two ball runners in the halves and if we're going to see success it will be because our forwards set a platform that allows it halves to get the ball while moving. If people take a moment to actually stop criticising, you can see that the OP's post basically outlines exactly how we get our side playing a simple and effective brand of football that takes into account that our halves are running halves.
But please naysayers, don't let the fact that people put in an effort to add something constructive get in the way of repeating yourselves. I'm sure there are people that love to read pages of the same negative tripe that is polluting the forum lately.
Our board is probably one of the smarter ones in the game and if they think Hasler is ruining our chances of a premiership they will replace him. Have a little faith in our board to know what is best for the club even if you dislike the way our side plays football right now.
I'd like it a lot if for a few weeks the naysayers imagine that maybe they could just wait and see what happens through this finals series. There are going to be a lot of people feeling stupid if we turn up and play with purpose for 80 minutes.
I've watched the team all season and to me it looks like they were never aiming to do more than get to the finals and stay healthy for when it becomes important. I may be wrong but if that's the case we may see some demolition work ahead from our squad and the opposition really won't be expecting that.
I'll be sad if we limp out of the finals without a whimper but I'm already sad to see so many people have written us off already. To me it feels like a lot of people have dived into disappointment early so they can avoid feeling bad if we actually end the year poorly. I just hope the players still have some faith in themselves because the vocal fans here clearly don't.

Yeah I hear ya Alan , I am guilty of being a naysayer recently after having the same opinion as you for last few years and I even get sick of reading my own shit.. Lol
People hurt man when the team shows no heart and no pride in the jumper and need somewhere to vent there frustration.
It's only words on the fucking Internet , who really cares.. The main thing is don't matter about everyone's different opinions at the end of the day we all want what's best for dogs..

It's a dry track today lets throw the ball around. As long as we earn the field position, errors in the opposition 30m zone won't hurt us as much.
Go the Bulldogs, lets see some positive football. Reynolds and Mbye have to be at their best to control the game

Attacking from Scrums - A Kick
It is policy with some teams defending from a scrum to position their fullback in the defensive line.
When this occurs the defenders have no last line of defence and are susceptible to a kick either through or over them.
A1 stands in the line from the scrum, between A6 and A4. D1, moves up into his defensive line to mark him.
On winning the scrum, A7 passes to A6, who carries the ball towards the opposition, committing them, but before being tackled chips over their heads.
The rest of the team are onside, and chase the ball.
Attacking from Scrums - Changing Angle of Attack
Ball is qiuckly passed to the inside centre (A4) via the half back (A7) and five eight. He runs at speed across field towrads outside centre, (D4), taking inside centre (D3)
with him.
Both centres are drawn towards A4 who makes a drop off pass to (A3).
Attacking from Scrums - First Tackle Forward Rush
A back row which breaks quickly from a scrum can often attack from the first play the ball, before the opposition arrives.
From the scrum, the five eight (A6) takes the ball hard into his opposite number.
Once tackled he plays the ball as quickly as possible.
The scrum half moves into acting half back, while the back three forwards (11, 12 and 13) loop around and attack on the first play.
Attacking from Scrums - Short Side Attacker 1
THE SHORT SIDE ATTACKER
An extra man can be introduced into the line by using a winger or centre from behind the blindside. The extra man can either loop round and try to break the line himself,
or join the line early and try to create the gap for someone else.
The blind winger, A5 times his run, and arcs off the inside centre breaking the line himself.
Attacking from Scrums - Short Side Attacker 2
THE SHORT SIDE ATTACKER
An extra man can be introduced into the line by using a winger or centre from behind the blindside. The extra man can either loop round and try to break the line himself,
or join the line early and try to create the gap for someone else.
The blind side centre, A3, receives the ball on the open side from the scrum half. By slick handling the open side winger, A5, is given an overlap.
Attacking from Scrums - The Fullback
THE FULLBACK
He is able to time his run and select any option, and can join the line to the open side or blind, and in between any of the players. The art of a good attacking fullback is to arrive in a space before his opposite number. The fullback enters the line between the five eight and inside centre.
Alternatives are to (i) enter the line in a catch-pass situation and create extra men out wide, or (ii) be used as a decoy. It is important for the blind side winger to cover behind from a scrummage.
Attacking from Scrums - The Look Forward
THE LOCK FORWARD
The loose forward is perhaps the only other player who can enter the line from a scrummage and create an extra man.
The scrum half carries the ball forward, and off loads to the loose forward on his inside, after first committing the defence.
Attacking from Scrums - Using a Player Twice
The five eight (A6) runs around both centres, while the fullback runs as a decoy between them. The aim is to move the ball wide to the five eight in space, after having brought the defensive full back into the line. The blind side winger covers for the full back

C'mon!
In any meaningful matches we have played since the 2012 GF how often have we scored any more than 3 tries?
Any team with a decent kicking game will score 12 or more points a game from kicking alone. Since our last bye, we're averaging less than 14 points a game, leaves no margin for error.
We're not a smart enough footy side to play with no margin for error.
It's a fucking stupid strategy by Hasbeen, and by the looks of things on the field, the players look sick of flogging themselves to death and come up with no points.
Our attack looks confused, hesitant and uncoordinated. How can this be excused after the length time Hasbeen has been at this club.
Go hard today Doggies!
Fuck off Des

they are talking about how bellamy has turned all those rejects like finucane and chase blayer into quality players
where for our Des he has turned the best rookie with huge potential into a dud in liccha and not to forget where mbye is with his development and Reynolds who has never progressed as a half from his first year.

Wasn't that the worst game plan today? Tried to bash up Panthers and bully them.
But the panthers had too much class, Moylan ranks at the line off the back of broken play, passes late and forces defenders to make decisions. Terrorised us.
What did we do, try barge our way up field with no prospect of an offload and no one in support. Even latimore for panthers was hitting us.
We need some attack. We are like a boxer in the ring who throws no punches, just wants to move around and hold at every opportunity, occasionally throw a jab into the gloves with no purpose. Try to win a split decision somehow.
Panthers come throwing punches to knock us out, they did. Killed us
