His problem is well known. He has a bone on bone knee. Tailored training (virtually none), interferes with his lateral movement and speed. He's cooked. So is McLean. Those 2 why I was so confident in the current process working. From the get go Kennedy, Brailey, Ronnie, Iro, Jesse, Stony just went up the middle and kept making them pivot and switch directions. This stuffed their whole line by causing outside in covering and big space outside.There has to be something off with Taulmolo 3 hit ups 22 metres, I know not much ball but even if had some a hit up every 2nd set of six they had when he was on field it would have been more.
His lateral movement issue is in defense. It's getting better slowly. He was never criticised for not being able to go laterally in a forward direction.Im jealous of everyone that was there. Looked perfect day on TV And the Sharks played great. I thought Nicho was the Maestro who deserved Paul Green Medal But all played their part . Whats the go about Hazeltons Lateral Movement ? Looked pretty laterally Mobile to me when he scored that try ! I suppose getting down to normal height is hard for all taller guys in defense especially now there's such scrutiny around High contact . I think he brings enough to the team to make the ones near him in defence modify their games to take bit of pressure off him . His"short" stint got team off to start they needed and must have deflated Cowgirls from the get go.
Thought he was a chance. He really went to the game in this one after a quiet start. From the first run he had. I did expect Nicho to get it though.So Will K got the PG Medal…
Well done, son!
I know Fitz picks it but Will wasn’t in my top 5 today. The medal should have been tricksySo Will K got the PG Medal…
Well done, son!
Another coaching victory has emerged from within my reflections.His problem is well known. He has a bone on bone knee. Tailored training (virtually none), interferes with his lateral movement and speed. He's cooked. So is McLean. Those 2 why I was so confident in the current process working. From the get go Kennedy, Brailey, Ronnie, Iro, Jesse, Stony just went up the middle and kept making them pivot and switch directions.

The extra genius which bubs and I both mentioned was to cut out giving them simple get out of jail cards with kicks on the 5th inside the 30. Just run hard to the corner and only give them 6 tackles. No 7 tackle sets from the spot. The Cows thrive on that shit.
Fitz outcoached Toddy in a big way this time around.
Told u it could go either wayCows are a good team. This could go either way tbh
