We all know that if Fisiiahi comes here, Melon will call him Fistula when he stuffs up

The fact that we were averaging 12 points a game tells me we had no gameplan whatsoever, especially inside the opposition twenty.

Dummy half runs and hit ups do not constitute a gameplan, these are the cornerstones of rugby league, it would be like saying a soccer team's gameplan is to pass the ball. No shit.

I think you and Walker are smart enough to see that our two wins should really have been one. I loved the victory over Souffs but anyone can see we were bloody lucky, if it wasn't Souffs we wouldn't have gotten close.

Last night we still had dummy half runs and hit ups. This isn't the gameplan, this is what players do when playing league. But on top of these foundation blocks we had a real structure and gameplan, Pearce throwing balls at the line both out the back to Mini or flat to MAubs, grubber kicks and higher percentage offloads. It wasn't just dummy half run, hit up, bomb it and hope they drop it, as it was in the first few weeks.

I suppose that's why we differ on the game plan subject mate, cos I am of the belief constant running from dummy half, as we saw in rnds 1-4, was the game plan, Keep It Simple Stoopid stuff. Whether it worked or not is up for debate, but I believe 2-2 in that time proves it wasn't as dumb as many thought it was.

I do agree a lot of luck went into those two wins, but you must agree good defence and never giving up in the face of some very poor handling and reffs decisions helped???

Last night we didn't use the dummy half runs half as often from my observation. We moved the pill early and looked good in doing so, IMO that's enough proof the game plan changed.

Maybe the game plan didn't change?? Maybe Smiff wanted them to play that way from round 1??? Maybe we weren't good enough or weren't allowed to by the oppositions or our poor execution let us down??? That's all a possibility.

I can't believe we had no game plan in the first 4 weeks. Sure it wasn't pretty or that effective but I believe it existed.

All good though my friend, we can't always agree. At least we can debate without rubbishing each others opinions.

Perhaps you were not around when Mark Murray was coach Dummy half runs and a midfield bomb was pretty mcuh the game play for his whole tenure here

And what do Mark Murray and Brian Smith have in common? Besides being half blind?

Mark Murray won a premiership, admittedly with the Redcliffe Dolphins, but Brian Smith has not.

I believe Mr Smith won the under 23's Premiership in 1981 whilst coaching Souths.

The Mole from the Game Plan seems to think he will come here "if they don't sign Stewart"

I don't think the Mole has any inside info, he's just been reading this website !
