Titans just beat the prem favs with attacking kicks on the last.

We got destroyed on thurs night from tries from kicks

With teams so even these days the value and power of the attacking kick (grubber, torpedo bomb, cross field kick to winger, banana kick) etc is massive.

Work and hours on hours must be put into it at training esp considering how shit and inept our last tackle options are. Can we plz fcuk off the end on end bitch bomb straight down the fullbacks throat!!!

I believe these kicks and options are worth 12 points a game easily.

Nah, we prefer to ignore that as an option. ;)

It is an incredible mystery to me why our 5th tackle skills remains missing for over 2 years.

There has been no emphasis on kicking for ages and we all know that. Against the Cowboys how many times was there a 13 man defensive line rushing up.?
Not one capable kicker to ask questions with a simple shitty grubber.

They need shifty at training teaching them how to grubber. Our halves are Fucken useless when it comes to last tackle options. ever since we got pumped by Souths in grand final I've lost a lot of interest in watching games

Shifty sherwin would still carve up just with his short attacking kicking game today

2 years
Wow your being awfully generous matey
All of these comments are 100% on the money' Originally he was given state of the art training facilities but he has no idea of how to be competitive in the modern game of rugby league. So how did the prick responsible for it all get a two year contract extension that will cost $3 million?

How? Because our gutless Board and CEO have no idea either financially (salary cap problems) or at fan base level (unable to compete on the playing field) of running a football club that is actually part of a multi million dollar business venture..

What would you guys know. The best option is to get tackled on the last

Nathan Cleary has a killer torpedo bomb at 19 years of age. Meanwhile, we've got Mbye who can kick it up 4 metres straight onto the fullbacks chest

When you listen to Des in the press conference each week after we get beaten, he says things like "but the opposition scored three try's from kicks" ... he devalues the kick, makes out that it was pure luck from the opposition. He Doesn't give them credit for the skill and art of the attacking kick. With this pre-historic attitude he will never improve the dogs in this part of the game.

Des devalues the attacking kick in every press conference after we loose.... He says " but the opposition scored x4 try's from kicks." He makes it out like it was pure luck, gives the opposition no credit for the art and skill of the kick. He uses it as an excuse for dogs loosing. This is a pre-historic attitude. Attacking kicks in the modern game are essential

If Mbye is doing the kicking, then yeh, best option is to just get tackled on the 5th.

Prior to Frawley we had no option other than mostly ignore a kicking game because we didn't have any good kickers in the team, theres no real mystery why we have had that strategy.

I know, right? Turn over ball 5m out from their line yet still we allow them to march 60-70m down the park. Why even bother lol...
Don't be ridiculous the stats from every other team show that getting tackled on the last 5 metres out results in only a 30 -40 metres gain.

Don't bring our stats into it
