Week 1 finals eels v storm Team List Thread

I hate the "we have to match them" in the first 20 thought. Why the F&*K don't we set the tempo for the game for a change where they need to match us!

Here's what we do:

* Minor Premiers go straight to the Grand Final

* Minor Premiers participate in the Finals series - but they get to select the matches; this affords them a tactical advantage, and allows them to eliminate teams (or tire teams that they are worried about out), knowing that they will play in the Grand Final regardless

Eh? Eh?

Yeah...probably not.

Don’t even have the week off. GF is Sunday week after season finishes. Teams 2-9 play off to see who plays the minor premiers. Heavily stacked for the minor premiers but imagine that one time the challenger wins 5 games in the space of a week!

I think we should amble out then first hit up RCG just leisurely strolls to the tackle. That’d put them off for sure

exactly how we have to play! slow the game
Down delux, kick to the sidelines, and frustrate them!
If we try and go with their frantic pace to start, we will lose

Do that for 5 tackles, and on the 6th, just flop to the floor, and take the tackle.

Melbourne won't know what the hell is going on.

errors will probably kill us

Gotta rough em up. First 5 tackles Crushers. Next 5 Hip Drops. Next 5 Chicken Wings. Next 5 leg twists. Next 5 face rubs. Then every tackle there after hands all over the ball.
Get on it BA.

 

[Oscarman]

Smash them in every tackle. Sadly Klein will give them 100 penalties if that happens.

Matching them implies doing all the things required to get at least an even share of possession, which pretty much means gaining yards (or metres, which are better because they're longer) and giving the kickers time to kick well.

How do we beat the Storm?

1. Don't show them ANY respect. At all. Any hesitancy or fear of making errors, and they'll make you pay. They are just another team for f**k sake! If you start worrying about what they could do to you, you're gone.
2. As others have said, be aggressive. In your face defence. Over and over. If all we've got is a pressure game, then for f*ck sake use it! For the whole 80 minutes. Bash and strangle the life out of them. But by the same token, don't be afraid to attack when we have the ball. Off-loads. Melbourne hates offloads. If you consistently use the offload against them, they eventually run out of defensive ideas.
If we win, it should be a fairly tight game. We nearly beat them in the '09 grand final with a combination of aggression and offloads. We did beat them in the Parra Stadium game in 2010 by being very aggressive and in-your-face (most satisfying club game I've ever seen).
I think the keys for us will be: Junior Paulo; a refreshed Campbell-Gillard; and a refreshed Michael Jennings. I reckon Jennings will be our biggest chance for try-scoring opportunities.

GO PARRAMATTA! (I don't know why I'm getting my hopes up.)

And after that, the next 5 tackles, tell them to put their hands all over the Steeden!

How will the Storm beat us? Work us over with patience, solid defense, bombing to our flanks and a willingness to play for the 80 minutes.

You're no fun anymore.

Lol I remember David Solomona refused to sign with them because of the purple when we were chasing him.

*referee errors

 

[Gazzamatta]

At least there is no Perenara or Atkins. I hate that pair of mofos refereeing our games. Both over referee and both have f'n huge chips on their shoulders. For the life of me I cant see how that pair ever got NRL gigs.

 

[Gazzamatta]

Im a big fan of Tyrone May. Love his skill and agression. Anyone know his contract status. Would love him in the B&G.
