One of our biggest downfalls this year has been bombing down the line from kick ins/HB with not enough representation to bring it to ground. The intercept kings from the oppo have killed us this year - would love to see some stats on this.Yeah I like the retro kick ins. Doing tricky stuff with kick ins is ultimately not going to win you a flag. Get the big rooster to roost it big and and get that sherrin tf outta there.
If we don't have the talls required to bring it to ground and then surge it forward, we need to be more pinpoint out of defence IMO. More leads on the 45 in and around D50 to create little pockets of space. Chip it to the wing then go long if needed. But it's becoming too easy for the oppo to pick it off when we play on from the goalsquare and go long every time. Often we're kicking it to smalls or a Pickett type that are hopelessly outbodied.
