Grubber kicks : Fri Jul 22, 2016 8:23 pm  

I'm sorry but who decided on this tactic?

We've kicked a grubber at the end of every set in their half and it has worked once out of 40 attempts.

We've wasted all our possession.

It's pretty much the only way you score points these days.

it's the only way coaches know how to score if planned moves don't work.
The game at the moment is run by coaches who need to control everything. It is suffocating the game and if it continues for another few years it will kill it.
Spineless players are also culpable in this.
All the top coaches in previous generations knew that it's players that win matches not coaches.

It was the only way the team last night had any chance of scoring because we had no other ideas in attack, grubber kick and hope for a mistake.

I think the idea was link in behind Jack Owens as he's fat and slow so takes eternity to turn and chase. I think the wigan try came from this.

Pete trust me we would use the same tatic even if you had Bolt in your back line.
We are truely utterly useless and perform like trained seals only knowing what our trainer tells us to do.
Unimaginative, spineless and most of all joyless to watch.

Once out of 40? Surely that can't be right since according to Phil Clarke, George Williams is the best grubber kicker in Super League.

He attempts at least 40 per game.

It's a shocking statistic that you are 3rd in the league and only 1 team has scored less points than you (Leeds).
