Play the ball : Mon Jul 12, 2021 8:33 am  

Just been watching a S L game from Australia and have noticed that many a time from were the player played the ball ., to were the the man furthest away from the ball is well over 20 meters . So that means a 30 +meter gap for the team to run on to the ball .We seem to be very flat in attack ,and we seam to be a easy team to defend against. Think it might be the way to go

I remember watching us playing Leeds at Headingley when the South Stand was for away fans. Leeds had a great side and we were pretty good too. It was still 5 yards back at play the ball and the Leeds attacking line stretched from the halfway diagonally to the 25. Quite a sight when they all moved together and very difficult to jump out and disrupt the line. It'll probably never catch on. What did these old coached ever know??
