yep last week was good to see footy back and the team get a run.Perfect match up to see the changes in attitude and defense structures, sharks throw plenty of attack at you.
Looking forward to this one!
Presumably Reynolds replaces Thommo or Reed at some point
Should probably give Flanagan a spell.
I wondered who was under the bedIn ya mums bedroom
Preston is an impact player and so is Pele.A bit more impact off the bench would be a luxury.
This bench is experienced and choc full of hard workers.
Mahoney looked to be running the show last week.I must admit my biggest fear about Ciro coming to us was that he, like Barrett before him, would persist in trying to make us play like Penrith. This was Barrett's biggest mistake....having Jacko last year try to emulate Yeo, then relying on Averillo to be our everywhere man Cleary and guide us around and be the link to the edge forwards and outside backs. It was never gonna work and it was silly to try make it work.
Naming Thompson who isn't a ballplayer at lock indicates Ciro has a completely different vision to Barrett of how we should play in attack.
It's only natural to look at last years most successful teams to see how one should attack.
Roosters, Souths, Sharks and Eels all have players who can emulated Penriths Yeo but we don't.
Our attack will look more like Cowboys, with Thompson being another running forward and our 1, 6, 7 and 9 being the space creators.
This game will provide an interesting contrast of styles.
There was a noticeable difference between our two sides against Raider. First side was a lot more direct like you mentioned whereas the second half time played a lot more side to side.Mahoney looked to be running the show last week.
Reminded me of Hodgson at Canberra a few years ago when he was the main playmaker. Hopefully it frees up Burton to run the ball more.
Love how direct/straight we played, going wide when we had space/numbers, instead of for the sake of it, as has been our norm for the last five or so years.
Yep ... side to side when our spine was comprised of kids.There was a noticeable difference between our two sides against Raider. First side was a lot more direct like you mentioned whereas the second half time played a lot more side to side.
he is playing the style that suits his players and thats how a good coach should coach. Eels also used mahoney and on the ball attack, with Moses and Brown usually getting it start from DH.If Burton can do this he will be deadlyI must admit my biggest fear about Ciro coming to us was that he, like Barrett before him, would persist in trying to make us play like Penrith.

Which 1?1 is our biggest worry this year
Was that the night they had the basketball courts set up fpr a Dr Pepper promotion? My memory is crap but i thought the dogs lostI’m gonna go to this match only because it’s being played at Belmore.
Haven’t been to Belmore since 1998 when the dogs beat the storm.
I still remember Craig Polla-Mounta’s try.
The pitch was that flooded, I’m surprised they didn’t send in the SES, to loan the teams inflated boats, to play the match on!
