This is where Wallace has been well and truly sorted out by the other 15 coaches.
I watched the backline movements during the last quarter, esp Newman, McGuane and Polo. As soon as we won the ball, they would bolt towards the forward line, trying to become extra numbers up forward and in the corridor. All well and good, except their opponents know what they are looking to do and hang back. There were times when Bowden and Thursfield would the only ones home across the wings, with up to five oppponents within 40 m of them. When the turnover comes, a goal results.
So easy to play the Tigers now. Flood your backline, absorb the pressure until they turn it over and run them silly on the way back.
First two quarters they played more or less man on man. Did the caretaker control things for the first half? It sure looked like it.
Wallace has been undone by the fast break. Oldest Basketball trick in the book.
