our mids and fwds are really, really bad at contested marking.
we slow right up before entering our f50, giving opposition time to get back in there and outnumber in the contests. we then don’t have proper crumbing forwards to kill the ball when it inevitably hits the deck.
then when the dump kick comes out from their defence our mids are at best beaten in the air, and at worst nowhere near the fall, so oppo mids get to do whatever they want.
no back 6 on the planet can do anything about that.
