The Rumours Thread

[<StGeorgeDragons>]

Who knows but I do know one thing, unless LPT can start playing and firing from round one then we are still one big hard body short of a decent forward pack.

In part yes but in total no.

The game has moments of great beauty somewhat poetry in motion as wonderful ball skills, athleticism and speed take over from the big beefy knock em down gladiatorial combat that epitomizes things like the very very boring SOO.

The coaches I mentioned all long for the "those that are about to die salute you" type of of footy games whereas the best coaches like Cleary, Bellamy, Robbo, Bennett have a clear eye for open field play and the value of it.

That is the reason why the above coaches have the records they have and why the combative types don't.

So Bellamy not a combative coach hes an open field coach? The same coach that introduced the wrestle, chicken wing, crusher etc Hes the king of the slow play the ball.

I never said he wasn’t.

Indeed he is combative however he is not 1 dimensional.

His eye for attacking players and his team’s attacking prowess over a long period of time are exceptional or do you disagree?

While he does slow down the ruck when not in possession he certainly does play up tempo, open field play when in possession.

Whilst we love to hate them the Storm have long been an attacking benchmark and have created some memorable tries.

It’ll be softly softly for LPT. Much like the Couchboys.
