We need to break the bad habit of losing games we are expected to win easily.
Which is mostly a mental thing.We need to break the bad habit of losing games we are expected to win easily.
Potentially it makes it a positive that the squad is so similar to last year. They'll all be gutted at working so hard and letting it slip, so should be extra determined to maintain concentration and be a bit more clinical and ruthless (especially when leading 20 nil for example!)Which is mostly a mental thing.
But I’d agree , had we won the games we were expected to win ( last year ) but lost , we’d have finished 3rd or 4th.
It means THAT much
Geez this current team must be turning you grey. 26 points isnt a safe barrier anymoreThat's where we differ. I enjoy any game in which Manly is always leading by at least 6+ points.
Close games kill me, and losing games kill me even worse!
When I use the word "systems" in reference to footy, I'm thinking of shapes and patterns in both attack and defence that every player knows and is expected to adhere to. Compressing defence around the markers, for example, or jamming in, or sliding, and knowing when to do one thing instead of the other.i know the word systems are thrown around as a magical but when it comes down to it, it just looks like game management. control and kicking over skills and footy

Good posts budWhen I use the word "systems" in reference to footy, I'm thinking of shapes and patterns in both attack and defence that every player knows and is expected to adhere to. Compressing defence around the markers, for example, or jamming in, or sliding, and knowing when to do one thing instead of the other.
In attack, it's about thinking beyond one play at a time. Instead, it's about constructing an entire set of six, depending on where you have possession. How do we get the ball out of our own end? What do we do in the attacking third? And again, even if our players are coached that way, I don't see many signs of it on the filed.
What makes Penrith so hard to beat is that all their players, seemingly over all grades, know their systems, so replacing one player with another doesn't make that big a difference to the team. Combine that with fitness and effort, and you can end up winning three grand finals in a row.
Four. And every point you make is valid.When I use the word "systems" in reference to footy, I'm thinking of shapes and patterns in both attack and defence that every player knows and is expected to adhere to.

Seibs before the game, this week it’s all about our D, we have the weapons (please) enough, learn the F CKEN basics of RLNot in our game plan apparently.
Until we address this we will be also rans.
It’s no secret defence wins premierships and gives you ascendancy in games.
Rugby League is not a complex sport.
Winning is not about how many weapons you haveSeibs before the game, this week it’s all about our D, we have the weapons (please) enough, learn the the F CKEN basics of RL
36 points conceded is unacceptable for 1st grade. 18 or less is what you want. Gotta work harder lads!
Slight difference and it’s in your statement,” 4 time defending Premiers”4 time defending Premiers conceded 38 against arguably a way worse side..
