Opinion Attack

[CrittaMagic69]

For all the hype our attack has been an absolute joke. We're playing with one half in Flanagan while Jake and Allan sit out on the edge totally inactive in 99% of plays. Carrying the ball from our own end is ineffective, running one out, slow long passes, Flanagan dumping it back inside for a forward, etc...

I get things will take a while to click and we're lacking in quality but this is concerning. Jake got better ball playing under Pay ffs.

Tbh i think the heavy rain in both games have put a stop to alot of things.

Next week we play Broncos, hopefully good conditions. I expect to see an improvement or ill be disappointed

 

[Spoonman84]

Dunno if they changed it today to suit the conditions but there was way too many settlers and running under plays. Tbaz has a lot of work to do.

 

[Mr. Ditkovich]

I think Averillo has been hampered by moving straight up to first grade and skipping reserve grade last year.

I’d put Lewis at 6 for this year and have Averillo play fullback in reserve grade.

We’re not getting very far this year anyway, so might as well prepare for next year.

 

[Moedogg]

We are simply just shit. Blame the refs and weather all you like.... I guarantee it will be the same attack next week . You can't polish turds.

 

[BMOC]

Same shit every year. New coach, new players yet no change.

 

[Kempsey Dog]

Fucking dreadful... Each game that passes the more overs we will have to pay for recruits as we are that bad

Then underplays became too predictable. I don't understand how we didn't go down Cotric's side more often.

Jake Averillo is a myth.

He is built like Meany and gets dominated but plays with even less heart and is scared of any physical contact.

I would be more than happy to see him dropped to reserves until he can harden the fuck up.

Couldn’t agree more they should mix it up put Jake averillo fullback and Corey in the centres

I don't think so. I brought this up during the trial, we then saw it last week and again this week. I think it's intentional. Our playmakers are way too isolated and linkup with each other about 5 times all game....we literally have one point of attack right now.

Burton talk is Playing on his mind and he knows he is gone if the deal happens this season and so he should he is shit house

 

[gibbo2]

Is Averillo playing?

Hardly sighted to weeks in a row.

He just missed 3 tackles in that one try scoring movement.

Just fuck him off. He's not a football player. we've wasted time on similar players like Wakeham..

Couldn’t agree more Hoppa’s edge gets way too much ball. It’s so frustrating.

With that said I agree that the whole structure isn’t painting a pretty picture at the moment.

Our most glaring issue is our forwards.
Every team throughout history has had halves that struggle when the forwards are dominated.

Remember when we could’ve got Holbrook?

It might be an unpopular view on here but Averillo just isn’t up to first grade. He adds no support to Flanagan at all.

 

[Dognacious]

Not going to be too concerned about the attack in swampy conditions vs the best defence in the NRL. We arent up to Penrith at this stage, so no point losing my shit over it. I picked panthers 13+ pre match

 

[Nate DAWG]

Avo is not a first grade half yet, maybe not ever. We also have no platform, our middles are the worst in the NRL. What I would give for a Tino and a Paulo in our pack...we are paying more for Jacko and Napa and they bring nothing
