I do agree that the team that runs out is up to Madge, but once they cross onto the field, I believe it is then up to the players, you can teach skill and fitness, but not smarts or mongrel and we will need it all against them.They all are aren’t they?!
There was that wonderful comment on the mighty game day thread that the game this year has 8 teams vying for the spoon.
Just channeling my inner @Vic Mackey at the moment, I think the pressure is back on Madge big time but for the moment, I think the side is really well thought out.
All of his steady growth players appear, perhaps more fully licensed smug than smug itself ( i stole that concept from their own thread) and meeting with Tom Amone after the game last week, I could sense he really wants to go further. If he’s selected, he won’t let us down.
But the actual meeting of minds will be which Tigers side runs out and it’s entirely up to Madge to get them to that level and the full 80.
I think it will closer than expected unless one of us blinks. If they get over us early and we panic, we are in for a long night. Unforced errors will play a role.
Its a pity we have the crackdown to contend with, but so do they. We will need to challenge the brilliant Kiks, bait him all night, get him sent if possible and no shirking.
But don’t worry, we’ve got this
