In Nick, the board, and Trent I trust.

The question I ask is:

Why isn't it:
"Omg the Roosters are a big and fast side."

[GrubBER]

Blaize Talagi & Selwyn Cobbo for me.

Blaize reminds me of a younger raw Joey Manu & Selwyn is another Latrell but with Brains!!

They ran all over the Warriors.
Ran hard, much energy, big bodies, hard to stop, too hard for the Warriors.
Even Hunt too strong for them.
FB too fast for them.
When was the last time we did that?
Suaalii can't do what Suli does.

Then Dragons bench came on, first De Belin, then other big players ready to keep the hard running going.

The Warriors kept turning the ball over, bad passes, bad handling.
Basically saying "Here, have another turn".....so the Dragons did.

Can we beat the Dragons on Anzac Day?
Yes.
How do we do that?
Pick Wong in second row.
Pick the biggest good team we can.
Stop giving away dumb penalties, Stop throwing bad passes.
Stop missing tackles.
Stop doing stoopid short dropouts.
Complete close to 100%.
Run props thru the centres/wings.
Warriors tried to barge one-out thru the forwards all game, Easy meat for Dragons

Maybe they're deliberately playing as such just to annoy you.

lol

You'd have to wonder just how long it will be before they stop playing like that.

Maybe the training is too draining and they have nothing left for game day.

Maybe they warm up for too long out on the field before the game.
Maybe their babies are crying all night and they're not getting enough sleep.

Maybe the training is all wrong...not enough skills training, how to jump up and catch bombs sure needs some work. They have the jumping up part correct.
Maybe have them train under sprinklers so they get used to playing in the wet.
Maybe back to basics.
Start games by just running the ball back up the field then kicking it...100% completions.
Give the Dragons etc nothing.

Be the team that never gives away easy points...like running out of time to take drop outs and being penalised.
