Game plan

[mosto]

I been on the fence with Trent, giving him time. However, with our two best metre eaters out today, his plan was....interesting! Uate and Jorge are good strong ball runners, obviously use them for tackles 1&2 off our line. But then to use BK 3.0 and Turbo/Walker for the next 2??? I know the game has changed as has the role of certain forwards. However, I believe 2nd rowers (sorry, edge runners), are still considered forwards and amongst the biggest bodies on the field, and should be back there doing the hard yards. I like what I back rowers bring, but thought they needed to step up and do some hard yards today.

You can have a million and one game plays but is all pointless if your players are unable to control the ball!! In a nutshell that has already cost us both games.

Game plan
Own the opposition the first 15 minutes and score 3 tries but miss ALL goals so they know they are still in the game....fall asleep for the next 65 minutes and be happy you had the lead for a while.
Walk off knowing you have the excuse you lost Is because there were front rowers missing...even though....you owned the other team WITHOUT these players for the first 15 minutes.
Next week we will make more excuses because we are playing away from home where we lost our first 2 games anyways, against the Cows who have their best players out.....yet we are the hard done team again....or so we say at the post match interview along with how proud we were to hang in there after losing lose 44 - 10

Early betting markets have us @ $3.55 for the win/Cows a $1.30. Sounds about right. The only other side that is further out is the Titans @$3.65.

And watch us blow out further , be surprised if it's not closer to $5 by kick off.

Even with a few out it will be an absolute stroll in the park for Thurston / Morgan.

Our backs are better than their backs. I like the idea of running them round after the epic clash they had in Brissy.

We can do this!

I agree. Too many on here already have written us off as wooden-spooners. I think we will bounce back.

Why isnt DCE taking the shots for goal? Walker had a whole off-season to practice & is lucky to get within 10 metres of the posts.

The $1.30 looks very generous to me. If anyone wants an easy $300 have $1k on the Cowboys.

Its free money.
