It's clearly been a massive priority for Bucks to add run and penetrative kicking to the defense. Young, Sinclair, Fasolo, Seedsman, Williams, Sidebottom all provide this. I think even Russell was recruited with this in mind. The main problem we've had is that we've rarely had them all available at the same time. When we do and have them play together for a decent period, our team will look a lot better. Under Bucks, but really for most teams, quality run and kicking from half back is the engine of good ball movement. I'm certain we have the personnel to be moving the ball better and all it will take is time and a more settled lineup.RudeBoy wrote: A big congrats must go to Bucks for daring to play Fasolo as a defender. While he might make the occasional mistake, his run and silky disposal skills add a touch of class to an otherwise pretty dour defensive unit. While he will probably return to the forward line when we get Marley and Seedsman back, in the meantime he's the player launching most of our attacks from the half back line.
And on Young being soft (in response to another poster): from what I've seen he's really been putting his body on the line. Won us a few important hard balls in the last couple of weeks. I don't think he's overly soft, just weak so he is too easily bumped off the play at times. A bit like Sidebottom in this regard.
