i feel sorry for our outside backs

[alwyn]

You can see the pain on our outside backs faces. How frustrating is it to watch our team go around week after week, and display an inability to get some clean ball out to our centres and wingers. You would think that with the experience of anasta/pearce and a veteran coach, they would train and set in place structures to take advantage of our backline potential.

I would love to see some sweeping backline movements or atleast see our outside backs get the chance to show us what they can do, rather than picking up the crumbs and having to constantly dart from dummy half.

I feel sorry for the fans.

Moga needs to get his head in the game..

There is more to footy than looking good with the ball..

agreed

Our outside backs are absolutely starved of the ball pretty much every week. Our spine is completely incapable of setting up a back line movement and generally the only time they see the ball is from a blindside play or dummy half run.

Problem is that it is not just our spine's inability to put on these plays, it is also painfully clear that Smith does not coach them on any set moves either. Our only set play in the attacking 20 is friend scouting from dummy half and throwing a face ball. It comes off once every 30 goes.

I actually feel abit for Pearce tonight. I noticed a fair few times especially in the first half when we were going ok, We would be attacking our line and Pearce was calling for the ball and friend totally ignores him and go's himself the opposite side to where pearce is and does nothing gets tackled by the marker or jus ales a nothing hit up 10 m out and then Pearce would have to run back in place to kick on the last... I noticed about 5 times tonight friend stuffed out attack by ignoring Pearce and going himself.. Friend is useless in attack he offers nothing hes dum slow and has no creativity at all..

That pass to Moga was sublime. I swear the touch judge blew his whistle within miliseconds of it leaving "Anasta's?" hands.

[Guest]

I need a concoction of chemicals,both licit & ill,to get me through our games this year..

What is it with Jake Friend constantly scooting from dummy half 10m out from the try line... does he not understand it's absolutely ineffective, a waste of precious possession and starves the rest of the team of any real chance to attack

Atleast someone watches the actual game not makes his own asumptions up!!

The two Fridat night games.. Supposedly the second best halfback in our game Cronk cant to shit at the moment 5 game losing streak Shoes how mich class he has especially when he has SMith and Slater in his side....

On the Dummy half issue thats exactly what i have been saying... Look Closly everytime Pearce asks for the ball he'll go for his little short side plays!!!

He's no Smith but there are better Summy halfs in Newtown as well as going around who have more brains than him!!

We play too flat to ever have a back line move. Front rowers stand next to the dummy half waiting to take a hitup. The rest of the team standing around like browns cows. It is embarrassing to watch an NRL team play with the structure of an under 7's team.
