Lineout

Post by BengalTiger »

One good thing, the only good thing from the Sunday’s debacle, Tom Youngs is not the (sole) source of our line out woes.
Which, strangely I am rather glad about.

Well if people would have actually taken note, myself and a few others pointed this out whenever Youngs was getting blamed for our poor lineout.

I remember at least one lineout that we lost when we over-complicated things. There were 2 or 3 feints as to who was going to be the jumper and when the ball was finally thrown in it was missed. Why not keep it simple?

Expected to see the responsibility for the failure of the lineout belonging to either GG, SC, the BOD, the hotel, the new carpark, JF, non-Saturday 3 o’clock kickoffs, the salary cap, the senior players or the interim DOR position :smt017

Sadly let's go back to basics and stop all the running around at line out time. Try a simple throw to the front man.

At some point someone WILL realise that going back to basics and keeping it simple, should help our game, We have somehow got to the stage that we appear to be running, before we start walking.

On a serious note, the reason we lost a few was that they were able to jump into out jumper, knocking him out of the way, this suggests our line out jumpers are not solid-strong enough and that we are predictable so easy to defend against
