Yo ya mugs! call this clutching at straws ( oh they are banned!) or whatever you wish to call our situation, hope , delusion etc..
I am an avid military student and chess player so I am right into tactics and strategy

Theatricality and deception can make a TEAM — or a country — appear to be much more than they really are in the mind of an opponent.
The word means “masking,” and it’s a fitting name for a tactic that depends entirely on misrepresentation.

This will probably make me a laughing stock...much like our Dragons at the moment.

How possible is it that we are out foxing the foxes?
Is Mcnut the ultimate con artist?
Could Mcgregor be the strategist we all hope he is?

Let it be so and the Finals show what we are truly capable of:p


Love your passion mate but the doctor may need to increase your medication.
There are no tactics.
There is no other plan apart from Plan A.
The Painter knows squat.
He is a con artist alright.
I’m hoping the Fraud squad pick him up after today’s game, for crimes against the club ...... and us fans.

"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him."

– Sun Tzu, the Art of War
The bait is the red V jersey. All the other top eight teams are hoping they get to play them in a final. Will give their team a chance to rest a few players.

We are seriously a joke. I said a few weeks ago that we could possibly miss the finals. God I wish it were true.

If it was Bennet I would say your theory could have some substance but I have seen no sign of cleverness or cunning deception in nearly 5 years from McGregor.
He rarely wins games because he is a better tactician than his opposite number.
Nevertheless stranger things have happened and any turnaround in our fortunes would be most welcome.

He saves all of his cunning & deception for contract extension time.
