  • Picture this.

    We're up by 4 with eight minutes to go. We're in the red zone and it's tackle 1. Sammy smells blood in the water. He completely forgets about the scoreboard and how much time is left on the clock. He calls a shape and has a play in mind at the risk of turning the ball over and potentially losing the game. DCE goes into game management mode. He wants to close the game down by completing our set with a short safe kick to the corner as our fifth tackle option.

    Who drives the bus and who get's the final call in this situation?

      Whoever the acting half chooses to give the ball to Or maybe he will make the call himself

        Maybe???

        It needs to be clear!

        Shared responsibility and the good ole switch roles depending on what end we're playing is fraught with danger A 7 is a 7 and 6 is a 6. Simples!

        We signed DCE to organise our shit and manage games! He needs to be the dominant half who calls the shots regardless of what end of the field we're playing.

        Problem is Sammy also needs to be 1st receiver to maximise his skill set. Point is they're not balanced. Not even close brah!

            I think Bates needs one right now He’s another taking my comment literally when it was more tongue in cheek

            PS With the above in mind I feel thr pertinent question is Are you drinking it out of a Roosters coffee mug ?

            • The Tea drinkers thread is pretty open ended so it’s hard to know where to draw the line at keeping on topic….?

                • Plan was to have a break from the main page and still contribute but I really like it here now. Eddie's thread is Zen man. I love it.......

                  Perhaps we could have 2 game day threads. The original and the Zen one as I don't think I can leave this wonderful space.

                        Oh Horrie !!! I love Garfield I used to watch the cartoon regularly with my Daughter Shen she was young.That’s great to about your second cup being a Roosters coffee mug I think every Roosters supporter should have at least one Roosters coffee mug

                          I’m ashamed to say I don’t have a roosters coffee mug. Currently I have a hairy coo mug from Scotland and a NZ kiwi mug from NZ which I use most often.

                          • I love mugs. Big, small, ugly, broken etc. I love em all

                            I'm surprised we don't have a stand alone thread for mugs.

                            Peace

                              May I be so bold as to suggest you put it on your Birthday or Mothers Day wish list Whichever comes first

                                Well Mother’s Day and my birthday always fall within 2 days to a week of each other, so it’s certainly a possible idea for either. I am kind of attached to my hairy coo mug though.
