No the don't, they are always there. They aren't damaged like the old cardboard one from years ago. They have advertising on them, so they are always replaced.But not All the time. When they get damaged
They are not replaced
You see a lot of tries scored in the corner
But no corner post's
What's up with that
Our first grandchild arrived earlier this year. I heartedly recommend it.
Luke Lewis was fullsome in his praise of our three-quarters all having made 150 metres through making tough carries to relieve the burden on the forwards who could then expend that energy in defense.He claimed it was a hallmark of Flanno's coaching and, while I can't say I've noticed this before, I see the logic in it.
Henson Park has a fairly extreme camber as well. From sitting on the first row behind the fence, you can’t see the opposite winger below his knee.
I don't believe a blue jacket is a Dragon's clothing items
Very much agree with you on the press conferences. Should be a rule that the “journalists“ can only ask questions about the game.
Disagree but I’m open to being persuaded otherwise. The real issue is that kind of pass is not called forward in most games I watch.
Ted Flanno!
All players in principle can take a tough carry. It's not a skill to take one. It's more of a commitment to sacrifice yourself for the good of the team. To take a successful tough carry takes a combination of skill, physicality, and bravery. The skill involved is anything- anticipation, footwork, etc.- that allows you to not get monstered and get a decent play the ball. Last night Lomax took several early play carries where the defence was set. Warriors would commit four defenders to attempt to start the set with a dominant tackle. He does a great job of holding his own in these moments. And, even when the defence succeeds, the Warriors have two retreating defenders. So the next carry is going to be easier. We want guys like BMM taking these slightly easier carries because he can attain greater momentum.
It's a hallmark of all NRL coaches.
And his defence took another step forward this week. He even stood chest to chest with someone in a push shove wrestle moment.
There are several reasons why BMM is less suited to those tough carries. But for anyone who is curious have a look at his last couple of carries in the match- which aren't even particularly tough- when he is tiring and you'll get the idea. The main thing is the different roles. BMM comes on for a few minutes either side of halftime to have a few wrecking ball carries. He is big and fast and is a real handful with a head of steam. We don't want to waste his limited energy on the tough carries that he won't do better than Lawrie, the other middles, or the OBs.
Overall, his defensive is improving. He was great positionally. Another good game.
Or playing at the ball carrying arm as another option
I agree with your comment Dragon Blood regarding that pass to Lomax being forward. The ref was right on the line of sight to see the pass. Had he been say a metre behind, he might have let it go.
Yes, when the players are doing well it makes selection of the team a bit harder for Flanno. A winning team to me should not be changed no matter who might come back from injury. Some on here have said that Su'a might have copped a leg injury really late in last nights game so Luc could be his replacement and that will be a status quo for us.
