Quote HamsterChops="HamsterChops"I agree with most of that, and certainly the lack of creativity, attacking drills, inspiration etc. The attack has been so utterly predictable every time I've seen them in the last couple of months, it's quite depressing.
The only bit I don't agree with is the effort thing. There are some players on that side that are putting full effort in, no doubt. Peltier is an example of someone who clearly is trying, but his job is the barge side and he can't do the creative part. However there are other players who I don't think are putting the full effort in, and that's witnessed when they go into a tackle half a*sed and the player gets through them far too easily. I feel sorry for the likes of Peltier when I see that happen, when he's trying his best without necessarily having the same natural gifts some others have.
The sad thing is we don't seem to have a lot of players who have both the ability and the full effort. Most seem to have one or the other.'"
Effort is there but we seem to be scared to commit. Maybe it is lack of trust in skill after so much dropped ball and errors. As a young side maybe they hve been told to reduce risks. They appear to wait for the ball before running. I can't remeber a winger coming on a line inside his centre all season. We get pushed into touch. Campbell hasn't had a pass off his centre all season from memory. Confidence is shot. I reckon when relegation is confirmed we'll win every game. Pressure will be off.
