[QUOTE="rugby rulz, post: 1004931, member: 40546"] The Bulls didn't show any progress from last weekend. Same one dimensional game plan. Lack of creativity and adjust ability. Everyone knew the Cheetahs were going to come out firing against the Bulls to prove a point. And yet the Bulls never seemed to respond to that. They basically just rolled with the punches and only showed real intent in the final 10 minutes. As promising as Jake's tenure at the Bulls started with a good performance against the Sharks in a warm-up game, so disappointing and anti-climactic it has become in just 2 weeks. One can't necessarily fault the players because there seems to be a clear gameplan (basically crash and bash) they are executing without reward because it is so predictable. So it has to come down on the coaches. Team selection is also a big problem. Hendricks isn't shaping up at centre and our wings mostly only touch the ball if the opposition kicks it to them because between Steyn and the centres, the wings don't get the ball at the right times. The forwards also seem to have lost their ability to look for offloads and are content in just going to ground with the ball. It is really hard not to feel dissapointed and let down by Jake White at the moment because he does have a vast amount of coaching experience and the players that the Bulls have are also good quality players, but the product they are providing just isn't good. It seems to be the same old story for us Bulls supporters. A new coach comes in and gives us high hopes, and then eventually it just fizzles out and the Bulls don't play good rugby. [/QUOTE]
