Sideways

[ChookMaster]

Agree but i like the sideway style when a Radleys on full tilt hitting the gaps straightening up the attack! Last year it was Radley 5/8 /lock ! We ganna win this year and Radley Teddy and Walker combo

2021 Roosters premier's

I like it.

Yeah exactly right mate, we never earned the right to play attacking footy, like 6 has mentioned - you need to bash teams up the guts, defend well and pressure well then you can spread it and play block play after block play when the opposition is starting to fatigue and then we can make inroads. Last night at the game we tried to do it from the get go and never changed to plan B.

Yeah I get it CM but I feel there is a difference in playing sideways, running across field and using the football to play expansive footy.

I disagree that passing the ball through the backline is playing sideways. It’s actually a decent tactic if you have someone straightening up into the defensive line. We did play sideways as our entire line was angling towards the sideline. That is the definition of playing sideways.

Mate can you please tell me where you're getting your drugs from. I want some.

everything was executed 5 mtrs before the defensive line, not hard for a quality team to defend it.

We need more ball work in the middle to help our forwards, keep their markers from breaking, make their middle work harder, help our boys poke their nose through and get a quick play the ball.
Rads plus either Friend or Verills is what we need.

I have one word for our attack tonight and it’s the heading for this thread. No one wanted to do the hard yards tonight aside from Lindsay.. too lateral too much block plays too easy to read tonight so frustrating to watch

I think it was just desperation TBH.

Teddy did most of it. I think he was searching for a linebreak to lift our spirits and it never came.

Souffs' defence within our 50 was great! Any techies know what they did? Notably it was shytehouse near their tryline. It's as if they stepped up closer or something and had less defenders behind the line? We scored quite easily when we got the chance to kick but we didn't get a lot of chances as they didn't let us break their line...

I still don’t know why they were making 70m a set and us 30m. Was our defence waiting for them to run 10m before meeting them? Were they running up to meet us. Can someone please explain this or is it simply we didn’t bend the line back because we couldn’t.?

I think someone quoted Souffs Vermin play the ball speed was much quicker than the Chooks so Chooks players struggled to get back 10 and the defence line wasn't reacting and working as it should be allowing them to make more yardage in their sets. The old straight line of defence wasn't there.

The above also resulted in increased 6 again's in trying to slow down the play the ball and momentum.

Chooks sideways attack was easy to defend against as Souffs Vermin defence moved up quick as a straight line and worked as a unit with no lazy defenders or players rushing out of the line - Chooks needed to go through the middle and build the platform for their attack.

Chooks attack was too deep - starting 5 or so metres behind the play the ball enabling the fast moving straight line defence to limit yardage and going sideways as well made gaining yardage even harder as there was no chinks or creases in the defensive line as there was vs Manly and Wests Tigers.

Chooks were playing suit and tie footy when overall footy was required.
