Parra v Sharks the Third test....

[fatshark]

PS dont forget Raper coached Dykes a few years back. So he knows exactly how to control him...a bit of pressure and the dropped balls, bad passes, silly kicks will come thick and fast :lol:

The big test is consistency at this stage of the season. Last year we dropped the close games we realistically should have won which as a result put paid to our chances of finishing in the top eight. This year we have won three close games that last year we would have lost. The boys have to build on their 70 minute defensive effort against Manly. If they can then consistency can only build from that. In attack we can put points on the board and in recent weeks the Sharks have been leaking points much like we have. If we can build pressure and hold our own line the frustration that has been a big part of the Sharks troubles will set in.

This post shows why you are so respected on this forum. No nonsense, just plain hard informative facts.

Problem is your defence will be going backwards too fast to put any pressure on him!

LOL. i can see it now....

Raper: "Guys Guys i have a great idea... Game plan if you will. its fool proof! What we need to do is put pressure on the halfback....."

Player: "But Coach you told us to do that against the tigers, the dogs, souths and the cowboys, and we lost all of those games... Even Ando used to say that to us, and we finished second last!.....haven't you got anything else up your sleeve?"

Raper: "Ummmm...Beat them in the forwards?"

Player: "They have Hindmarsh and Cayless..."

Raper: "What about,... lets beat them out wide?"

Player: "Nope. They got guru!"

Raper: "Why don't we call on all our supporters to go to the game. the parra players will walk out into the stadium and be shocked when the crowd boo's them and cheers us"

Player: "Clutching at straws now coach, your back in the Shire now remember. Our supporters don't leave the shire unless they are going over seas, and even then it has to be a family emergency!"

Raper: "oh crap. Well who's ref'ing, maybe i should have a talk to him then..."
