THe first half was just keeping the game plan simple. Get to the end of your sets. Perfect when you haven't been playing a lot and are still getting familiar with each other in a game situation. Second half we were told to throw it around, you saw the energy change. Given during the season we will need to play both styles, it was a good approach.
Was this actually somethimg you were told directly? Or just an observation like mine?
Just an observation. You could see that was the aim. Getting guys hitting it up getting used to contact. Keeping the play simple. There were options that could have been played to put pressure on, but they chose not to use those and just take the hit up. Second half that went out the window and we mixed it up a lot more. I feel the style we will play will be a mix of the two. More attack in that second half than I saw in the last year.
Yeah thats exactly how i saw it too, and i also think we will play a mix of both styles throughout the season. It was definitely a game of 2 halves.
Best opinion.!!
Got to agree i liked what Wakrham did yesterday, he kept very busy in D and looked a bit more settled than last season like he knew what was needed from him
He had some good touches, and was solid in defense.
No offence to soccer players... but Wakeham should be playing soccer... he runs like a soccer player. He looks like a soccer player...he’s athletic but to small for league...it’s like he doesn’t want the contact just the glory
100% he had a role to play and he did that, flanno was the dominate half playing both sides and that wont change with Averillo coming in.
I think we’re so used to losing we can’t see a good thing when it lands... once flanagan gets a decent 6 beside him... look the fuck out.
But at the same time I don't want my halfback touching the ball 70 times and running like 4...he's going to have to add more to his game otherwise he just isn't going to be effective enough, can't just rely on his halves partner or fullback.
