Surely, what virtually every team does, whether in SL or the NRL, is vary their 5th tackle options: the grubber kick to the corner for the winger, the grubber kick under the sticks (either for a runner to score or force a repeat set), the high kick to the corner, the power play...

Mystifyingly, we don't seem to do that.

We need Gels back, he's the only one that actually tries something different, and plenty of times it comes off.

We do indeed, and good on him!

This is a good point. We always put in a ball with the intention of scoring even if there is nothing on. We should be putting kicks in which mean 'at best' we score or get a repeat set and 'at worst' the defending player gets the ball a yard in from his own line.

Our kicks from half way to restart the game NEVER trouble anyone!! They go to the same position 5-6 times a game. We're just not exciting to watch, no wonder our average attendances has reduced from 16k to just over 12k.
