It’s quite obvious that our defense is our strength, even though we have had some scary moments on the right wing… and it wasn’t just the first 10mins of last night but I also noticed it against the knights. Never the less it has improved and no doubt we have shown that we have one of the best defenses in the comp, and I hope it will only get better and they continue to muscle up. But I believe that our weakness is in the centers on attack. Now I know that people are going to argue this, so let me make one thing clear, Pomeroy and Anderson are playing outstanding. However they lack the vision which I believe has cost us some tries. I noticed that a number of times they have failed to get one more pass out to the wings which would have been certain tries. But that will improve with experience.
What do you believe our weakness is?
I agree with you totally. I think and this comes down to awareness and poor skills which are hard to teach and learn, some have it and some don't. Both centres sometimes lack to play what is in front of them, yes they can run into gaps, they are strong, and the y are fast, but they both lack handling and passing ability, for example you watch everytime Pomeroy our LEFT centre runs the ball, he carries naturally the ball in his right arm, this is a no no, when your on the left, you need your right arm to fend off covering defense, he has bombed a couple of tries because of this, both centres are too busy tucking the ball under there arm and going for it, you watch Gaz or Cooper, both have a strong ball carry out in front and look like they are going to kick or pass either way. They are both young and are being coached now correctly but things like that take time to change. Hard too, when they are doing a lot o other things so right to be so critical.
