telecrap have published the raiders '7 point plan' for beating the dragons..
wow... really digging deep here to work out how to play basic footy..
some basic footy rules in there.. hardly a '7 point plan', however they did beat us, so there may be something to it...
bring on the donkeys this friday
wow... really digging deep here to work out how to play basic footy..
- Present a united and unwavering defensive line in front of Jamie Soward and a Dragons side that thrives on broken-field running (duh..)
- Keep the Dragons in their own half to pressure Soward and nullify his attacking kicking game
- Kick into touch as much as possible to avoid giving the Dragon's back-three of Darius Boyd, Wendell Sailor and Brett Morris possession.
- Work hard at marker, players asked to make back-to-back tackles (duh again..)
- Be more agressive than the Dragon' big forward pack, match their go-forward and complete sets (something your junior coach teaches you..)
- Slow down early tackles involving Dragons prop Michael Weyman and Justing Poore, enable a better look at where the attack is headed and shift defensive numbers accordingly
- Go gead-to-head with Weyman and Poore until substitued after 20 minutes (something Josh Miller took a little too literally, me thinks..)
