I'd like to think that even if we don't quite have the cattle or the experience yet we're developing a game style that will (a) be attractive to watch (b) win us lots of games during the season, and (c) stand up to the grind of the finals.When we force a turnover on defence we actually look really dangerous with our slick hands through the middle and most of our forwards being good one on one players. But like you said it doesnt happen to much because of our high fwd 50 differential. Also were prone to those turn over fast break goals because we have too many players who just constantly miss easy kicks.
Maybe we'd be better off playing a style more like GC did on the weekend, flooding the backline which means our undersized backline would cope better and we can can get them on the rebound with our run off half back and slick hands ball movement?
I think reverting to a defensive flood fails (a) and doesn't do much for (b). I don't know if we currently have a solution to (c) but a simple flood won't cut it in my opinion.
