Thugs are easy to play against, especially if they take stupid penalties and give up great scoring opportunities. We are a very easy team to play against because our truculent players are meat heads and our skill players are lazy or unengaged.

We don't have anybody who stirs up ####. So they don't engage really all that much. Westgarth and Gratts aren't really agitators. If we had a #### disturber or two, they would have more reason to want to retaliate. Those guys are redundant. One of them should stir the pot and be able to score, not play the same role. Unfortunately, it's the latter.
