Roosters v Cowboys

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Sportsbet when I posted it last night, has come in a long way since. Rightly so.

Doubtful. The price that is.

Sportsbet $2.75 COWS $1.45 ROOSTERS.....nuts!

Bookies obviously don't trust us to lose.

IMO Cows played the very best they're capable of against Broncos.
They'll be under pressure to win at home.
We'll be expected to lose.
We can win this game...but we have to defend properly..get Walker out to wing in defence.

Shame you won’t be there to coach so you can put Radley where you think he belongs, on the wing.

[King Salvo]

I am available though

Ball Control / High Set completions / line speed and numbers in defence/ reduce errors and penalties/ high energy kick and chase game

Keary to 5/8 and Walker to half

Keary and Walker either defend on the wing or inside the winger - winger- 5/8 or 1/2 - Centre- Backrower

JWH/SST start - give me your best 25 minutes as you both need to lay the platform - later replaced by Collins/DSF- both continue on same way as JWH/SST.

Crichton and N Butcher start in the backrow- Angus got to run the ball with more gusto and be involved-Focus in defence / Butch same thing - be focused in defence

Sitili on after 25 or so for Crichton- attacking games fine but You need to focus in defence

Radley - pick a target and hit hard in defence - use you ball playing skills

Tedesco - you don't have to do everything yourself - give Keary and Walker a chance - pick your moments

Toops/Mamo/Smith/Manu - go looking for the ball and support play/ normal returns from kicks to get the sets started

Watson/Hutch - Watson and Hutch look to kick early/ feed Walker and Keary clean passes -defence - look to run from dummy half.

As long as he guards the sideline vigilantly and stays on his wing at all times, he should be ok.

If we lose to the Cowboys then heads must roll...
...and things should be done my way!

Alan Jones, arguably the best rugby coach in history, said teams should not be trained to a standstill at training
all week, but tapered for maximum energy and freshness for weekend games.

If our players are spent 15 minutes into games there is something drastically wrong somewhere.
Please tell me our players are not going to be run around for a 30 minute warm up in the humid FNQ heat before the match like they were against the Knights.

He's too small for a lock, Murray just waltzed straight past him to score...and he gets concussed trying to tackle big forwards.
Don't like him on the wing, then play him 6 or 7.

And then opposition wingers wouldn't be strolling down our right side and scoring tries at will, our winger caught way infield.

He’s not as small as you think. He’s mobile and with the speed of the game you need mobile forwards. Yes the miss on Murray was pathetic but also pretty rare from Radley. He didn’t miss this tackle cause of his size. He tackles a lot bigger blokes than Murray and does it very successfully.

article on nrl says he has a 90 % tackle efficiency . i believe that is pretty good .

[John Corey]

Our defence is nothing like it was. No longer have the luxury of playing crap in attack, dropping the ball, giving away penalties, and still being able to defend our line and scrape out a win.

Jake Friend was a defensive beast in the middle.

[roosterchook]

When does Suualii come into the side? We need players with his talent in the team sooner rather than later.

Sam Walker isn't going that well at all. He looks lost in attack. I won't even bring up the defence side of things.

He showed last year he could be special I totally agree there is potential. However this year he is completely stifling the entire attack.

A typical walker run this year - he skips to the outside of a defender looks up and sees defence outside that, props, stops, pirouettes anticlockwise runs back the other way steps off his left steps off his right - sees defender again props, stops , pirouettes clockwise this time - all forwards and other supporters are now either in front of him or level with him and completely flat footed so no one is in position to take the ball from him so finally Sam gets tackled for a net gain of minus 1 metre.

Teddy sees we aren't creating anything then tries to do everything as a result.

Get more direct Sam and our attack will click. Its all your fault. Well maybe not entirely but you are a big part of it.
