What's our key to success against the Drizz?

[ism22]

I reckon our attack has been spectacular, but we've struggled in defence against the Sharks & Souffs.

The Drizz are below us on the ladder so can be beaten. However, I reckon they'll go into this game with most people backing them to win (and the commentators have probably already decided to award Shyzen-heuzen the 3 Dally M points for his haircut alone).

There's good news all around and I take heart from that:
- Collins is back (so we'll have Collins, Radley, SST, JWH, Crichton, Liu, Sitili and Butch rotating... really healthy forwards if they show up with the right defensive attitude early on!!!)
- Keighran is back... so we have a hooker (probably a better one than Benno, regardless of how that goes). We also have another decent conversion kicker.
- Walker's gaining confidence... as are Morris, Tupou and Teddy... who I reckon can show Shyzen-Heuzen what it takes to play for NSW & internationals (hint: more than media hype & a shyzen hairdo).

Overall I think we have the best backline and pack in the game if both show up. The Drizz have more experienced rakes and halves. However, I reckon if our forwards can stick it to them early on, the Silver Fox will slip past 'The Fox' at least twice and Easts will wake up as winners on Saturday morning... possibly punting the Drizz out of the 8 (where they belong).

Return fire with fire. These battles lately are nothing short of semi final intensity.

The comp isn't always won at the end of the year if you catch my drift.

What concerns me is that twice in two weeks the strom (mainly munster) have take offense to their own medicine being dished up to them and have somehow received possession on the back of it.

We are the polar opposite, overscrutinized and put on the back foot. I'm not sure how much emphasis Robbo puts on this game on particular, but I have seen us rise to the occasion against potential end of year sides during the season.

Obviously robbo will have us searching for a win and to gain a psychological advantage over the strom this weekend.

Yet how much fuel does he want us to burn in a round 6 game to attain 2pts when there's 20 other games to bank points to stay in the top four.

You all might think I'm promoting the thought of strategic white flags but we did turn up to play souffs with sfa. It's on the mind.

The fuel we will need to burn involves defending their quality of talent and f!uckery. And the ensuing lopsided penalty count.

I wanna see us make that statement. Might finish the game with 10 men. We go quietly into the night on this one and it could hurt us later in the year.

If our middle comes out like it did against the Sharks we will be down by 30 at half time

Of course they should burn all their fuel. And then they recover. It’s rugby league mate. Give it all you got. It’s the big league! If you want to leave fuel in the tank then go play for another club. Go hard or go home!

We could spray them with Pea Beau I guess....worth a try.

Defence. We can’t let them carve us up like the Sharks managed to do in the first half of last weeks game.

We need to play rooster style. We haven't done it for a whole 80mins since 2019.

We played very well for a period after the COVID break last season mate.

Defence pattern 101 = JUST SMASH EM !

Defence pattern 102 = Use slide defence .... slide (left or right) like a typewriter and SMASH EM !

I do not think we put a whole 80mins togethetogether.

We had some excellent periods of 40-60mins but I feel like we didn't have any complete performances.
