TITANS vs MANLY
The Gladiator will be going to this game in full paint! Come down to the legion if you want a photo :) looks great for facebook and other stuff... just ask DIEHARD, I'm pretty nice ;)
See you boys this time next week!
What time is this game ?
Next week will give us a good indication where our team is really at, Eagles were Red Hot last week in the 2nd half & backed it up tonight by flogging the Knights.
The Sea Eagles have such an elevated level of line speed it intimidates opposing sides and we have to match this to be seriously competitive. I was impressed with some of our defensive muscle today but our line speed in defence needs to improve.
Lyin' will mark up against Takairangi, Idris against "who knows" as Matai looked busted yesterday and Taufua against Mead but the real match-up will be both sets of half's.
Should be a good test for Taka who i believe has solved our left center position based on performances in both rounds.
The young halves clash will be entertaining as well as several other match-ups.
This game against Manly will be the best indicator we'll get within the first 5 rounds as to how our team is faring in the comp?
Man a win this weak means ppl will sit up and take notice.
One things for sure. We won't get thrashed this year. Our attitude to defense and good metre gainage will keep us in every game. Our kicking and ball handling will decide if we win them.
2013...things are looking up.
Ball control is an end result...it's not something you should focus on too much.
If your plays are threatening and your runners are hitting the correct angles, ball control becomes easy. Support play cleans any loose balls thrown....in other words BACK UP.
If you try and play safe, the defensive reads it and hits you in numbers...you have more chance of coughing the ball up, plus your just wont score.
Kelly last week created lots of opportunities and give an intercept...thats want you want from your ball player....Risk with result.
It gives Sezer more room and he can then threaten the line while still playing safe.
Taka did a fantastic job setting up the first try..he has done more in the first two weeks than champion did for a whole year.
I get what u are saying, but I think if u asked 16 NRL coaches what is the first thing their team needs to worry about, likely 16 will say ball control.
Like Canberra yesterday , if you can't even get to your third tackle, kicking, angles, support play all mean jack.
and champions already injured lol
