Did that mentor own a Labrador?We all need to be calm
I've just heard that Price took advice from an old mentor regarding team selection and that everything will be fine
Jenninga
I have one red eye & one white eye, I am 49yo & followed Red & Whites since my old man played Grade with them. He has now passed on. This coach is absolutely rubbish & not upto first grade standard. Suggest you don't Q my passion for the Red & Whites
I feel sick looking at that side! Stanley at 5/8 that will do me! Not to mention Prior in the centers again... At least this will just make Price look even sh#ter than he already looks! We are going to get hammered!
Good on you Slippery,exactly right.
Dropping Soward may be the warning the players need to wake up to themselves.
Stanley has been useless this year...and his reward....to be moved to 5/8
:crazy::crazy::crazy:
Good point and it has been the lack of running at the line which we have missed.Also i am sure Dugan has a hell of a kick.Wouldn't surprise if we see Dugan more up the line as defacto five eighth.
I don't think Chase has much of a general kicking game in his repertoire. Short range OK but longer kicks, I don't know. He can have a go, no doubt. But it's not his thing and I suspect we'll see him running at the line more. Will be interesting to see how his adjusts in defence as well.
King, Dugan and Fien are our best bets in the kicking department now, which means we'll be lacking metres downfield off the boot. That's where we'll miss Soward.
The pack and the bench will have more work to do. But quite frankly that's what they're there for.
Rein put in one kick last Friday.Fien took the first 2 kicks for field position against the Bulldogs anyway, I've noticed Soward hasn't been putting his hand up as much as he used to even Rein had a punt from dummy half
it is only Tuesday so who knows what the team on the weekend will look like..
but i find it very interesting that after 2 disgraceful performances by the team "coach" Price makes the following changes:
1. drop our goal kicker and our best (by far) general play kicker
2. move a VERY average centre into a key position in the spine..
3. continue to leave a back rower in the centres despite the team having the world of trouble scoring points..
interesting move chineless one... very interesting...
It is the quality of the kicks that count. Soward found the turf more often. One of his kicks downfield was a gem. The chase was excellent and we forced a line drop out.
One of the biggest issues we have is controlling posession. We struggle to get a repeat sets and build pressure. Kicking is crucial to this. The lack of grubbers into the in-goal has been a concern of mine for some time.
There is a general lack of creativity in the overall kicking game, but Soward has been the best of a bad lot.

Fien and Soward put in about the same number of kicks. Soward gained about an extra 100 metres over all.

This is why it could make a difference,more direct running by Stanley,and Dugan needs to get involved the way Inglis does ,Dugan will throw those passes.The one thing I hope it does do, is straighten the back line attack up & get away from the sliding we have gotten in the habit of & makes easy pickings with no angles. I really hope Dugan runs off Stanley's shoulder all day & creates space for the outside "backs". How is Nightingale & Morris going to get the ball with no 30metre cut out passes inside them
