1 - Attacking inside the opposition Red Zone....this started in round 1 in 2016 against Dogs when in the early stages & continued all season - lacked options, depth, runners & guidance & often a poor kicking game in this area.
Not surprised we finished 6th in running metres yet lacked the polish to cash in with points....or get repeat sets at key moments.
2 - Controlling tempo of game ....often it almost appeared we were in slow motion & the opposition in fast forward in the play the ball....
This comes down to energy, lack of support players pushing up with the ball & getting dominated by defensive numbers & being in general...far too predictable - again forcing bad options at key times late in the tackle count....even after eating big metres, hurting tackle 6...alleviating pressure & letting teams off too easily as a result.
