Maybe a symptom of the quality of players attempting the move as much as the quality of training IMO

I can't see many teams coping with Cas' famous LHS attack of James Clare, Josh Griffin & Josh Atkinson.

I'd like to think that we'll be executing it more effectively with Luke Gale playing.

I'll be very interested to see how we use our halfbacks this year. I think that a Luke Gale & Jarrod Sammut partnership would work really well playing as first and second reciever (In the style of Shaun Long & Leon Pryce) whereby the second reciever is pretty much a runner of the ball. That in my opinion is our strongest option.

Having said that, I don't think that this system would work with any other half back combination we could put together. I think that a Gale & Briggs/Jeffries would work better playing as a left and right split (ie. Myler & Briers) where they would make plays on their own side of the field. I don't think that Briggs or Jeffries are strong enough players to make this system really effective, but at the same time aren't effective enough runners of the ball to play in the way I've mentioned above.

Was thinking more in terms of our lack of succes using this move in attack as opposed to our defending against it. Our defense is a team wide issue that really needs to improve this year.

My point was that if 2 junior players & a cast-off can make it work it shouldn't be that difficult for 3 seasoned pro's.

Has this match not finished yet?

Indeed. Makes me wonder what the eck our lads get up to in training.

We were marginally better when we set up from Briggs, Jeffries and Kearney out the back. Not brilliant but perhaps less hopeless and we still couldn´t defend against it.
