* we bust the defensive & attacking the goal line & the ball goes to Tolman. Why does Jmk pass to him, why does Tolman call for the ball, why are the halves not demanding the ball.
* less than 5 minutes to go, deep in our half & need to make something happen. We take 5 harmless runs from dummy & kick. The team has not be train to attack ad lib.
* spreading the ball wide in attacking & many times there is Tolman, 1 or 2 passes of the ruck acting as a pivot. See Penrith attack with long passes straight to their halves on the move. Why has this structure been persisted with
* Meaney gets the ball from a kick down field, gets monstered & driven backwards. Forward momentum lost. In today's game where big wingers set the platform for the go forward, we stubbornly stick with players not in their right position
* again we finished higher in completed sets, but lose the game. Stats don't win games , footballers do. Look at East's, their completion rate is in the bottom 8, but they scored the most points. Too much focus on completing the stats.
* some many more moments that typify the season
I know we don't have the cattle to be in the Top 8, but at least we could have a structure & plan that makes the team more competitive..... my rant is over
