How many handballs straight to blokes under pressure?

Also teams have zero respect for our tackling, has been very evident the last 3 weeks.

Philippou keeps handballing to a man who is under massive pressure - makes the worst decisions.

They know umpires won’t pay holding the ball.

Didn’t miss us though.

Over coached not to bomb long. Needs a bit better awareness but that's hard to teach/coach.

Yes shoutout to Byrnes. Doing well and hard at it.

Stocker a bit lost needs to find his position.

Cant kick it from outside 35. That's all.

A man needs to know his limitations.

Yeah and structureless forward line going forward isn’t helping. Just feel like we’re inviting pressure a bit instead of taking possession and waiting for numbers, going a bit too fast and loose

Still plenty of work to do, no doubt.

Hill has been good playing HHF on Houston and he doesn’t defend at all

Instead of putting a defensive forward on him, we’ve put our most damaging and attacking forward on him and given him the ball


BTW
We are dead set lucky to not be getting pantsed

And Bulldogs were 43-6 against us at QT. I like this week better.

Worth his contact, from an individual perspective. Earns well over it from a team perspective.

I have zero faith any of our forwards can kick a set shot more than 30meters out. I don’t recall ever seeing a forward unit this universally bad at set shot kicking.
