Attacking coach

[Bates]

We need to attack teams with our defence ! Like we did with Jake , Boyd , Ricko and Maubs did when the bondi wall was on song . Rushing up and smashing teams backwards! All I see now are the opposition defence rushing up and stifling our attack , while we wait for them to come to us when we're defending . We need more urgency and mongrel in defence and the attack will come off the back of that . That's the Roosters way .

Those days are gone.! We would intentionally infringe to slow down the opposition and reset our backline but now they call 6 again which nullifies that tactic.

The 6 again rule makes it impossible to win without scoring plenty of points and applying scoreboard pressure. We were the better team in the 1st half but we couldn't capitalise when we had momentum. The Storm took their chances building scoreboard pressure and the rest is history.
