Reserve Grader
Whatever you want to say about our team this year and our shambolic attack and kicking games its our selections and defensive set up that is most embarrasing. League is not that complicated if you keep it simple.
The modern game is played in 3rds; left, middle & right. I believe if you dont have huge backrowers like the cows to play on edges you need to play defenders on the edges. I want to see kapow moved back to prop and buhrer and leary permanant back row.
Set up in defence like this.
Left: tafua - matai - buhrer - walker
Centre - kapow - jake - parcell - myles
Right: Leary - chez - killer - turbo
Custodian: snake
Our defence has shown a lack of trust in each other. If we have 3 x 80 minute forwards at rake and back row importantly all capable of making 40 plus tackles we are straight up a harder nut to crack.
I would then have bj lawrence vave & lussick on the bench and rotate each prop and jake the second they start sucking them in not based on the clock and hit the opposition constantly with fresh power and grunt.
Thoughts?
