The opposition coaches must be more atrocious, to lose every game against such a tactic.
As witnessed in U/14 with CCB & Olympic

Round 1 Olympic won 5-0,

Round 2 Olympic won 1-0 but CCB coach tried a few different things, some worked some didnt

Grand Final CCB won 2-1, perfect example of coach adapting his game to counter that of the opposition and then being able to express that plan in a manner that 14yo boys could understand

Well Done
