This is really good stuff.

Very instructive
I enjoyed the breakdown of the allocation of fantasy points to illustrate the defensive structures

These videos are by far the best NRL analysis in the mainstream media imo. I wish there was way more content like this, so much rugby league media doesn't dig any further into the games than "Geez, Cowboys will be hard to stop with the likes of Thurston".

Matt Elliott always came across as an articulate guy when he was coaching, but his results were mostly underwhelming. He has really found his niche now.

Yep good viewing.

Matty has an incredible feel for strategy. Not sure why he cant get a long term gig. I think he plays favourites which polarises out of favour players. But these breakdown videos are cracker jack.

 

[Frank Discussion]

I don't know why there aren't more deep backline plays.

 

[Arnold]

I don't know why there aren't more deep backline plays.

Agree. Hitting holes more like Russell Richardson used too.

This allows the halves to throw a dummy and go... Our current slow sweep plays are easy to kill IMO

Should hire him to run our video sessions. Still see him in the mall every now and then.

I reckon the defence is just so switched on (and fit) these days that deep backline moves ala the 90's are read too easily. The defence have an age to react as required. What tends to work, and I think Matt might be suggesting is attacking options either side of the ball player very close to the defensive line which are executed at the last moment. This means defenders can be reluctant to commit and end up back peddling (siting in the chair which is a classic Matty Elliot analogy) or are in two minds and commit to the decoy. The sharp ball player will read that and pick the vulnerable defender. It all happens at the line now though.

I was kidding. Obviously the irony is lost as "more backline plays" seems to be the go to suggestion for armchair coaches. So yeah, good work Arnold.

 

[Arnold]

What id like to see us do is this....

We occasionally throw a face ball past a prop to another forward close to the line and try to barge over. This causes the defence to shift in quickly.

I have seen the space it create and what I'd like to see is the reciver turn his back and pass to a half flying right behind them, there is so much space outside the half when this is executed well.

Shane do this. Thanks.

There is still plenty of scope for backline plays. Everything isn't a block play.

 

[Vin Fizz]

OOps missed that. Should have known better Frank.

I'm officially an armchair coach - after 10 years of bash & barge, I yearn for the ball going out to the backs.

We have undoubtedly looked the best this year when we've done it.

 

[Birdee_Num_Num]

we know where the dig was directed

 

[shaggs]

f**k the out the back. Bash em in the middle in defence and play fast through he middle with support play. Easy peasy
