the titans have major queries around the halves IMO. Dont forget we did the same thing last year and the year before, when there was no pressure we performed.
Holbrook was able to unlock Taylor to a decent level last year (at least wasn't looking down on confidence like previous years). Fogarty was one of the surprises of the season. I don't think the Titans have a top 8 spine but there spine is better than ours when you throw Brimson in there. They're just missing a hooker similar to us. Both of us need Brandon Smith and we're the most likely clubs to sign him imo so it'll be interesting where he decides to go. I have the Titans just missing the eight next year.
dont disagree, but they have to prove themselves under pressure.
what Steve James and his Tennis balls, throwing a ball against the wall didnt work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
what you dont understand is that they are doing the exact same drills , it is just that James put them on the site. They all go back to basics in the preseason.
Are we still throwing tennis balls at the wall and missing the mark? Lol
lewis is still
Agree...we had him in our system and he never wanted to leave. Did well with our Canterbury Cup side and was very much a people person and communicated well with the players. Always liked him and it was a shame he was not asked back. We now need to see how Baz goes..I for one am willing to give him a shot let's face it we can only really go up from here....
Flanigan is the most important signing for next year for sure. We need his organisation, general kicking and goal kicking. I'm so glad he's playing both sides, which probably means Avo for 6 IMO.
i love hetherington also, he have 2 intimidators with thompson to set a platform. Napa off the bench is his best spot, short bursts he can be effective.
I think the plan from Baz was to split Burton/Flano/Averillo across the park similar to how the Cowboys played with Coote/JT/Morgan. Flano like you said will predominantly play on either side of the ruck in a controlling role with Burton and Averillo supporting him in a running role on either side of him.
Our skill level has been trash for years. I remember Andrew Johns talking about it on the Ch9 coverage years ago. This was back when Des was coaching us and nothing has improved since then.
Spot on. Our players still can't throw a spiral ball that lands in front of the target. Its all wobbly passes landing behind the target player who has to stop to catch the ball. Basic stuff that Chooks, 2 contracts Melbourne and most other teams do with ease.
A similar thing was said about this year’s Queensland side but was proven to be very wrong by a very good coach
Some thing’s you just can’t change, and a half playing both sides of the ruck is one of them.
