Des trying new attacking plays today.

[Kevinward777]

Lots of inside balls to Turbo today. Des has obviously decided to fine tune a few new moves today.

 

[joeboy]

Need to work on more than that, like catching kickoffs I’m glad we won, but it was not good

 

[Kalvin]

Tried a lot of "the left right out" in attack today?

 

[Chip and Chase]

It was Foran and Suli last week, this week its Foran and Turbo. It's a pretty basic play, but with the right ball runner it works

 

[Dion Johnson]

Okanbur did well in defense for the dogs, he was hitting Turbo each time the ball went out the back to Turbo on the left edge.

No flat balls to Schuster or Parker from Foz today on the dogs line.

They didn't work.

Does create some doubt in the opposition if we can quickly go either way.

 

[joeboy]

Our timing, shape and structure was terrible, players getting in the way. Looked like a bunch of players who had never played together before at times

 

[Lyonstomenzies]

Jake looked like he was in the way a lot today. He would send very close to ruck and miss time his run. I thought a few times he overran the ruck and would still get the ball.

Did anyone else notice this or was I just picking on him??

Parker or Suli

Difficult decision as Parker just have what it takes

 

[SeaEagle21]

Could be correct as a lot of the players looked like they were in the way. Not a bad thing (as hard as it is to watch) as come finals time need to have some alternate tactics to change things up against the big teams.

I didn't notice but the screen size I was watching on was 20cm x 10cm..

So probably not the best, lol

wah

 

[Shoe1]

Went back inside because Canterbury were primed in defence for the spread to turbo and Garrick. It took 60 mins to make the change.

Except for the two tries Turbo scored off inside balls from Foz.

 

[XV-1]

Except for the two tries Turbo scored off inside balls from Foz.

Dogs were shot by then. Turbo could have scored either side.

Gives us some options thou for future games, but put our entire attack out of wack.

We are too bloody flat, look at the panthers they stand deeper and hit the ball running - we look slow

Very true.

Or the ref could have sin binned the dogs for being consistently offside. He blew more than 2 6 agains in a row a couple of times, but no mandatory sin bin.

Yes
Sometimes 2 runs in a set, like 1st 4 rounds

 

[The Who]

We need more players to run on to the ball, not just Turbo, who will be heavily marked in the finals.
Parker runs straight lines but gets knocked over too easily. Suli may be a better alternative.

Walker

for the first time since the start of the year I agree but not for the same reason. walker's value in the finals will be his utility off the bench and we need to be prepared for him to play centre if anyone in the 1-5 backline gets a mid match injury so if I was des I would be resting harper/parker or both against the cowboys to get walker and suli some minutes before the finals (crazy to think as they were my starting pairing at the beginning of the year)
