Watching the last month or so from the port game to last nights i could easily say that if we had converted half the chances we would have won all those games maybe barring the freo one when they kicked 7 or so on the trot. Even then going into half time the scoring shots were even but we just couldnt convert.
The effort has been very good with lapses of concentration costing us games (young side which is to be expected). All we need to do in those games it apply scoredboard pressure as well as our field pressure and the other teams would have dropped the bundle with our confidence increasing. The future is looking very bright and with the next few draft and free agency adding in another defender and some outside polish we will be challanging sooner rather than later!
Some of the things that i believe we need to work on besides our skill level is when we are attacking, teams seem to be able to sit back and then slingshot straight away to the other end for a scoring opportunity. Also ive noticed that from opposition kick ins, team seem to be able to get the ball out of the forward 50 fairly easily compared to us. Now that may be due to the younger guys not knowing the positioning or structures but we need to really work on that in the off season. Also delivering the ball into the forward 50 has been poor due to the fact that opposition seem to be clogging it up then actually rebounding it with the slingshot motion that i was eluding to earlier.
All in all i think we have a very very good crop of players with the addition of a few more over the next few draft to go all the way. We just need to tweak a few things with the game plan and a few more pre seasons into the younger guys and look out the mighty saints will be releasing a few more streaking videos
