He's a real numbers man and has often spoken about risk mitigation as an influence on how he sets up the field. There's too much high risk, high reward flavour at the moment, much in the way there was in 2015. It's not working for this group.
3rd man up rule really took a weapon out of his coaching arsenal. Has also stripped Bontempelli and Jong of an area of influence.
6-6-6 rule no doubt has caused some havoc.
The runner limitations have been a killer for his coaching style too.
I would like him to be adding a stronger "horses for courses" process to our strategy. Try and challenge the opposition coaches by throwing something different into the mix.
Right now it feels like he has a matrix on a whiteboard that looks like this:
FFC ON, OPPONENT OFF = we win
FFC ON, OPPONENT ON = we win
FFC OFF, OPPONENT ON = we lose
FFC OFF, OPPONENT OFF = we lose
and that's it. His job at that point is about being ON more often than we are OFF.
