Non-Manly Games [Round 22, 2016]

[CBreeagles]

I know a lot of people don't enjoy the Hayne circus but I'm loving him back here. Especially at Titans, I have a soft spot for the GC, great recruitment from them. Hayne has already saved 2 tries and almost scored 1. Welcome back Hayne.

He's a bit of a show pony but I have to admit he can play, how good would it have been if we got him? It'd be worth it just to see the reaction of Eels fans.

 

[Dan]

Predict hayne to become most annoying team mate after he constantly utters the phrase "when I was in the NFL"

 

[Woodsie]

Hayne just threw the worst no look pass evar!

 

[HK_Eagle]

Great pass from the Cessnock, but I guess we wont hype that in the commentary. lol

 

[Nordburg]

Hayne just threw the worst no look pass evar!

Worse than what Korisau dishes up every week?

 

[Woodsie]

Worse than what Korisau dishes up every week?

Yep, gold medal standard

 

[Ben]

Worse than what Korisau dishes up every week?

+1

 

[robbiea]

Won't be any overtaking of Warriors now.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Wow, Tits have thrown 2 intercept passes in the second half to gift the warriors tries. And how bad was Don's miss after catching the breakaway warrior... wow!

Yeah, another coach with a sh1t game plan, I guess.

 

[CBreeagles]

Hayne just touched a ref lets see if he gets pulled up for it.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Ah Woodsie. Are you looking for a bite this lovely Sunday?

 

[double hoops]

Little jack. Little John.

 

[Woodsie]

Baaahaha. Never!

OK, if you would like to look at it from the perspective of the coaching, let's do that. I wasn't because, quite frankly, I don't give a ****e about the Tit's coaching.

If the warriors are rushing up from outside in and getting into the backline, then I would expect an astute coach to recognise that and eliminate the long shallow passes in the backline (or at least to be more aware of what's happening). I would expect a good coach to then come up with a strategy to counter this... such as, dropping in short grubbers behind the rushing backs a couple of times.

I'm not sure this exactly fits into a "**** game plan" but more to do with reading what's happening on the field and adjusting accordingly.

PS: And yes, a good team (or certain players at least) should probably be able to read that themselves and adjust accordingly. Nevertheless, as a coach I have the advantage of seeing that whereas players may not always catch it from within the game on the ground

The same thing happens in the u/12's. By the time your halves become FG'ers you have to believe they are capable of fiquring this out and adjusting to it themselves. If they are waiting for a message or half time talk from the coach all is lost.

 

[Clay]

Hayne played well, he threw an intercept but but other then that looked good

 

[mozgrame]

Great win by the warriors. Great return by Hayne. I thought he'd be a bit quiet this week, imagine him in a couple of weeks time. Laurie Daley must have a huge mongrel thinking about next years SOO.

Can we somehow snavel Solomone Kata??

Yeah, I agree, mate. Nevertheless, the coach should still be there as a safety net and get a message out via runners if they are not adjusting.

Or the famous Bozo hook.
