Quote: "If you have watched most of the opposition with quality backs they can pass the ball from one touch line to the other with 3 passes creating space on the opposite wing from where the play the ball took place.'"
I couldn't agree more!
As I've said on numerous occasions, you can't beat pace and I'm sick and tired of the Cougars keeping the ball in the centre of the field when tthere have been numerous opportunities for them to score out wide.
Tactical kicking, which has been absent since Jason Ramshaw left need to be reintroduced to take the hard work out of making yards. 40/20's aren't the preserve of Superleague so I hope that JD will bring some intelligence with him and be aware of the opportunities.
On numerous occasions last season, when we ran the ball from scrums within our own 10 metre line with the opposing full back being inside our half, we could have easily kicked and, if not winning a 40/20 our wingers could have even regained posession, or at worst pushed the opposing team back to their 20. We've never seemed to be aware of opportunities beyond the next 20 metres and that's what I hope JD will change.
