Interesting take that we are playing deeper and not relying on individual brilliance. My take was that in the first test we were playing flat a lot (not always though), and relying on dmac passing game ti get around the rush d. In the second test we almost never phased. I don't think we went 5 phases once. Until the subs came in with a change to the game plan we attacked almost exclusively from kick return or turnover, relying on individual brilliance. Certainly it seemed like the plan before ratima came on was to only try phasing if we were in their half.i think hes playing it very safe, largely the same team as we might have expected under fozzie, only a couple of changes, a tweaked gameplan playing deeper with more players in movement too confuse the rush...things people have been asking fozzie to try for years. we still have some cross field kick passes and a bit of mad cap attack from anywhere....but mostly reserved for the final quarter when there should actually be the space for them to work
A test for me will be if we see 33 year BB stay on the bench....he's proven a game changer there...a real weapon that i believe will be dulled if he has to start
to me it looks like hes taking this very seriously and has long term plans rather than a all in roll of the dice right from the start
