That isn't what they are doing in my opinion.
They are attacking with forwards, trying for a quick ptb but not getting it, trying to pass out wide but doing it too slowly, so whoever gets the ball has 2 defenders already on them, so it looks like we have no shape.
If we actually tried to barge over you'd have big runners standing deep with lots of dummy runners.
The wingers won't get a nice pass but the centre will have a better chance.
Add a short kick for players to chase and you have a simple game plan for a slow team.
I think you are correct here, I think a lot of our issues in attack are due to how slow we are and that all starts at the PTB where I don't think any of our Hookers are good enough at the moment. Hood is far to slow and so is Kay when it comes to that first Pass, Bowes is the best we have at it but is still not great but does have time to develop.
