What do you think we need to win a premiership??

[Poupou Escobar]

Trobojavick (or however you spell it)

@Avenger is going to go apeshit.

 

[I'm a loser baby...]

Niukore to the wing.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

What changes would you make if any?

I would improve the spine so we don't need to be as reliant on Paulo, then I would play him for shorter minutes. While he's on the field though, he would make a lot more carries. Maybe play him in three stints. I would also go with two safe defensive centres rather than requiring strike from either of them. I think we need more speed at fullback as well, just so he can get away from such heavy contact from the kick chase. A surrender tackle is better than being driven back by three middle forwards.

Bevan French maybe?

We need a centre and a winger and some kind of x-factor with speed. We have none.

Also which thread do you merkins think I should post our current defence structure? Got some interesting info today.

Involvement is too low. How about Papenhuyzen?

Why not here?

 

[Twizzle]

or start a new one

 

[lingard]

We are in my opinion the 6th best team in the comp. So far we have over achieved.

I think we are fifth best.

Go and iron your knees?

Ok. Our current defensive structure / issues:

It’s called up and kill (different from up and in / umbrella defence) . But we are too flat. We need more staggering in the line. A flat defensive line gives attackers too much choice and leaves defenders flat footed. Most defensive patterns have some zig zag pattern to it (we currently do not) which can confuse attackers and gives defenders choice on who will cover who. Flat defence works to stop the inside man but doesn’t allow much if they fall for an inside decoy / block runner and then spread it wide which is what keeps happening to us.

Good attacking teams can take this kind of defence to the cleaners (as we have seen lately) where as poor attacking teams can't take advantage as easily.

How would you improve the spine?

Now you're getting greedy mate. Looks like you want to totally stuff our cap.

Apologies @Avenger... “ I will learn to spell Trobio...Trojib... I will learn to spell

Who told you this? A decoy isn't something defenders 'fall for' as though the playmakers aren't making decisions of their own. If they don't 'fall for' a decoy the playmaker will pass it to him and he will stroll through the gap.

Without naming names, I'm keen to know why you trust this source.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I would have patience and spend more money there when it comes available.

I reckon if we let Cooper Cronk go to the Roosters we should be able to fit him in.

A member of the coaching staff on a rival team.

I think Moses signed at the right time.

I wonder what we offer right now. Atleast 100k less.

Perhaps it was time for D.Brown to take the reigns with Arthurs and build for 2023

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Maybe Moses is pissed that he signed for too little?
