Rumours and Stuff

[Noise]

Our attacking middle certainly isn't a strength, though I think they go pretty well in defence. Hopefully we can get some possession this week and Williams can provide some punch in the middle rather than just tackling.

We use to attack on our edges due to our weak middle. That hasn't really been working for us either more recently

The pack went just fine last year and the year before. Why would this year be any different?

Because they are small and worn out and Semi isn't there to at least give them a breather and better start to the sets.

Pretty obvious really.

I think our pack is pretty ordinary, but I reckon that size isn't necessarily the major part of it. We're a bigger pack than the Sharks who beat us last week.

No size isn't everything, but it counts for a hell off a lot, unless you have players like Gallon, Lewis, Graham and Fifita to lay the platform.

Other then Brown who have we got that comes close to that class of player?

The sport evolves. Just because you went OK for the last 10 years doesn't mean you're going to go well now.

The interpretation of the play the ball and when players can move up in defence has changed considerably. Perhaps we've failed to adapt as well as others.

Hopefully we can turn it around. We're more than capable.

Graheme would of been a good leader

 

[Chipmunk]

He's still worth at least $500k. He's one of the few giants who isn't a liability in defence. Kane Evans is another.

He looked like a pretty big liability last week times.

 

[Chipmunk]

Because he was playing short minutes. Anyone can work hard in limited minutes. We've signed Evans to run the ball, not work his ring out making tackles.

Your post here below would suggest that you expected otherwise. Twice as good???????

F**k me, that's some serious stalking to try and make a point.

About 30 seconds worth if you use the search function properly.

No, teams have been getting off their line quickly but still maintaining perfect discipline. It’s a worry.

Pretty obvious really.

They’re not worn out except when the opposition have all the ball, which has happened twice this year. Otherwise they are capable of high workloads. That’s the upside of their lack of size.

Maybe because of the pathetic slow speed that we're playing the ball.

A quick 30 second search and you should identify it.

I don't want or need to identify it. You're the one who posted it with no reference.

I once brought up Pou’s choice of lunch one day as 9 year old as evidence of his inability to determine the ideal playing weight of any player. A quick 30 years if you use the stalk function correctly

Every team is playing the ball slower.
