We've kicked a grubber at the end of every set in their half and it has worked once out of 40 attempts.
We've wasted all our possession.'"
Once out of 40? Surely that can't be right since according to Phil Clarke, George Williams is the best grubber kicker in Super League. |

| Quote: Cruncher "We don't even execute our grubber kicks well. The vast majority go straight out of play.
It's not known as 'the Hail Mary ball' for nothing ... at best it gives you a 50% chance of scoring. But our halves can't even manage that.
Very frustrating to see possession near the line kicked away so often and so casually.'"
I can't understand why occasionally we don't take a tackle on the 6th especially if it's on the opponents line.
To be fair it's the only time our wingers actually have a decent chance of getting the ball so if we did stop kicking to the corner Manfredi and Charnley will get even less opportunities. |

Surely, what virtually every team does, whether in SL or the NRL, is vary their 5th tackle options: the grubber kick to the corner for the winger, the grubber kick under the sticks (either for a runner to score or force a repeat set), the high kick to the corner, the power play...
Mystifyingly, we don't seem to do that.

We need Gels back, he's the only one that actually tries something different, and plenty of times it comes off.

This is a good point. We always put in a ball with the intention of scoring even if there is nothing on. We should be putting kicks in which mean 'at best' we score or get a repeat set and 'at worst' the defending player gets the ball a yard in from his own line.
Our kicks from half way to restart the game NEVER trouble anyone!! They go to the same position 5-6 times a game. We're just not exciting to watch, no wonder our average attendances has reduced from 16k to just over 12k.
