Our attack lacks structure - intentional?

[Guest]

I hate to be positive, but with that side, Sonny Bill and Maloney, we will be very hard to beat next year.

And we have all heard the 'Next year' thing a thousand times b4. Next year never comes. We should be more competitive NOW.

We have an exact structure....

GENERAL PLAY:
Inside our own 30 - Wingers and centres take dummy half runs and hit ups, forwards are not to touch the ball.
In between the 30m lines - forwards run the ball and try to do stupid short passes to each other before the line.
Inside the attacking 30 - Pearce handle the ball every tackle, dump it off inside to a flat footed forward. If Arona is on the field he is contracted to do this at least 3 times per set. Passing to a centre is strictly prohibited

LAST TACKLE OPTIONS:
If inside our own half - locate fullback and kick ball directly at him
If inside their half - put up a bomb. Have 3-4 players chase but none are allowed to contest

HOOKER STRATEGY:
- Take the blindside at all times
- If you must go to the open side, take 3 steps down the blindside first, do a pirouette then throw a lofted pass back to Anasta, Pearce or better yet a flat footed forward


Thats the roosters in a nutshell. Players who don't conform to the above strategy and try to play an attacking brand of football e.g. Taka, Guerra, Mitchell, Linnett etc will find it hard to hold a first grade spot

absolutely spot on mate....but its a simple fix. Fark Friend, Kennedy, Mose, Mini, Anasta off, bring in Sheck, Evans, SBW, Maloney, and we will be competitive once again. Maloney is a genuine organiser/ ball player that will give Moga SKD BJ ball with space to move and SBW can make anything happen out of nothing. Theres a dynasty coming.

Maybe Smith wants all these young guys to not have structure? Just to run around and learn/get a feel for the game and have fun then when they're more mature set a structure and plan? Just a stupid theory by me. Sack Smith anyway.

We used to have a player that could impliment structure and follow a game plan -Freddy - we havnt had another fotball brain play for yus since but I reckon Maloney will come close.
I really though Pearce was having a great game especially in the second half when he chose to run more.

Smith loves attacking sides but under the current rules and the way the game is played its hit up dummy half run kick ...........I know earlier this year he was adopting what the other coaches are doing ...may be the players struggle with the simplicity of it all.
Good to see that some of the young blokes like Guerra Cordner and Moga are developing more confidence every week with Maloney next year and SBW I believe we have the nucleus to be a real good side .Pearce will fire with those blokes . I know SKD can be the odd clutz but gee he can be a match winner too we will also have another good winger and then blood Tevesheck during the year and it all points to a promising 2014

Great does that mean 2013 will be another rebuilding year??

No. It is the full on ad-lib year.

There won't be a team that will be able to defend against us because there will be no set moves. We won't understand it so how the hell will the opposition?

[Bansai Pipeline]

Our team is the village idiot of the NRL.

[Rooster_Luke]

Hopefully James Maloney and a new coach (fingers crossed) can address this problem

Can't wait for 2013.

I get the idea that champs like SKD, Pearce, BJ and Moga are forced to just make $hit up because nobody else has a clue.

Against $hit teams like $ouffs and at reserve grade level it's sweet but the NRL is professional. Our lack of an exciting attack plan KILLS us!!!

It's not like our boys lack talent, we just lack training, prep and STRUCTURE STRUCTURE STRUCTURE.

Fire up biatch was being kind to us... he knows his $hit about footy. His phrase was a euphamism for "they had no clue but still held in there somehow..."

but they arent sh!t, thats the thing. They are a top 4 side. So if our structure lacking attack works against Souths, why doesnt it work against other teams?

Possibly. Not saying the chooks won't be better next year as I think we will be.

Although,

Maloney to build combinations, if Williams is here he has to adjust to the pace of the modern game, mini still playing fullback and retiring at seasons end. And likely a new coach in 2014. (hopefully sooner).

not sure where you've been in 2012.. but we are the new souffs and souffs are now a top 4 side if you haven't noticed

who is nobody else. either you point the finger directly at Smith or our spine

Because lol@souffs are kidding themselves. They are pretenders and will be exposed badly come finals time. Personally, I cant wait for it. We wont be there but watching them crash out will be just as sweet!

When souffs win, they still lose!!!
