However I must say I agree with LeagueFan in that we are not helping ourselves by taking it easy at times. Why do we kick the ball further sideways than forward when we get a penalty. Ok so you run the risk of the opposition catching it if you cut it too fine, but to make 40 easy yards is something we should look to do even if we do give the ball away once a match through pushing our luck. I would also prefer us to use the forwards more when near the line, we often throw it 30 yards backwards only to be tackled on the 15-20m line when we were only 5 yards out anyway. Of course we won't always get through as teams will see it happening but we seem to have a move of using the prop as dummy runner, that to me seems a lot of wasted energy. Mix it up a little more I say. But that's no dig at barry of indeed buster who passes the ball out wide, it is just my view.
For all we know Barry is saying all of the things Leaguefan is saying, to the players and for whatever reason it has not yet happened on the pitch. Hence I feel it is very relevant to practice those things some more. Practice makes perfect.
Please don't let Leaguefan think he knows what he is on about, or we will never hear the end of it
