I know it. It's what I'd try, not what I think Flanno will do. Though I think he has almost no choice but to act on it if Kyle has another bad game next round. Though I think he'll promote LKT rather than move Gutho and Holmes.

Eric, Eric, Eric no no no no no no no no no no NO. Said comments "he's been one of the best players every week" " he has a good kicking game" " he trains really hard" "he's the best we have" " we are working on getting more attack out of our halves" etc etc etc !!!

Yeah, but, I still don't understand why we don't challenge for attacking kicks as much as we should. Just about every Hughes bomb was challenged by them and just about every time it was heart in your mouth stuff. We just don't do it. Is it poor execution or lack of skill?

we dont put in attacking kicks, we step back on the inside slowly and get tackled on the last.

We did have a lot of attacking kicks when we had Lomax, but I don't think there is any player in our squad at the moment who can, with confidence and plenty of flash, chase a high kick and do an aerial to catch the ball on the full and maybe dive over the try line or catch and then pass to a support player who has also chased the high ball. Wouldn't you think that we should have this in our attacking armoury by now on top of some other better than average attacking schemes?

The idea to win games is to score more points than the opposition and defend those points. Work on that Flanno, Ennis and Young.

It's for defensive purposes, so we can box them into one corner with a set line. I don't like it but the Knights did it with Adam O'Brien last year, it was frustrating for their fans too. Panthers have done it, Bulldogs too.

If current interpretation with set restarts remain then all teams will have opportunity to score points through getting better field position. This makes it even more important to capitalise with good attacking players & structures. I don't think we have good attacking players compared to other teams but we have a good structure in the attacking 20.
