Its a tough one. No NRL player is soft. Those injuries……I played a lot of sports and in my twenties i was constantly carrying niggles and much more in the workplace but i dont imagine going back out there 10 minutes after a broken nose. That stuff really hurts. I even hate icing stuff these days
BUT SOFT OPTIONS . Yeah baby that is Manly 100%.
our forwards try hard, but the group has too much of the wrong body types and movements, especially considering our throw it all on red mentality .
play the balls, ruck defence….we just dont cover the middle the way we should despite some strong defensive efforts and run metres at times
game style, possession, confidence, ability , aerobic fitness all play parts. But mental resillience is nothing but a buzz word
despite some good numbers at times the pack collectively isnt quite fit for purpose. It either lacks the physical all round abilities to cope under differing conditions, or the mental resilience .i suggest a bit if both The mental weakness does define us though
for years jake playing first receiver unbalanced the workload . I dont agree that all edges have to be able to score 50 m tries. We need to start selecting a team around defending our patch first and introducing good game as we Improve. And defence isnt just tackling its possesion, kicking, field position, its a mentality so its part of the spine, the backs, the talk
not soft but in a soft environment.
We are apollo creed. Most teams are rocky . Some are even MR T
at least appolo won something first. We just look good in the silk shorts . Just ask us
Soft option credentials
up by 24, 5 to go. Lets not defend. Lets let in 2 late tries
big game, big grind. Not us, lateral all the way
how often we get beaten to the bounce
how often the ball is stolen from us
Play tight for 10, then WEEEEEEE all the way home.
Maybe we need Don Mckinnon
same stuff year after year, new excuse year after year. Same denominators year after year.
