“Arsonists got a little more momentum this game.

Previous game we were bashed off the pitch, playing 7s by the 2nd half. This time, we suffered 0 removals, with Hobgoblins proving durable.

Once again, Hobgoblins are the target. We tried to protect them, but I am learning there is only so much you can do, and they will die eventually.

On that note, learnings for the game, and biggest mistake:


1. GOALS

After our last game, it was our goal here to score on our drive. Having a full team certainly helped.

We did not allow dice on ball carrier, which was good.

Space was found up the sidelines, BUT... we did have to make a number of GFI. Just one snake, and it is game over.


2. GFI

As above... I felt a little sick seeing 20(!) GFI with a healthy 5 failed. I suppose, none were game defining.

But this is a mistake. Bulls are not M9. The Arsonists will be exposed at some point if this continues.


3. LINEBACKER

I think we need to keep a safety back on defense. We are not a mobile team, and need some help once penetrated.

I think this was the biggest mistake, as we were split like a pumpkin twice, and lucky only scored on once from it.


OK, so there it is. Reign in the decadent use of GFI, and pay more attention to having a safety on defence. ”
