Can we have a team-agnostic discussion about the modern gameplan?
As far as I understand it, the forward press is about flooding your own forward half so that the opposition cant clear the ball from your forward 50.
But there has to be more to it than that? What are teams doing in different parts of the ground at different times?
Are there any competing game plans having success at the moment?
Why would you have your entire forward line flooding to your defensive end when the opposition has the ball? Wouldnt you be better off at least leaving your best 1:1 forward inside your F50 as a long target at all times?
