Re: Robbo: No-man’s land Saints can’t afford to fluff picks 7 and 8 again

I'm still wondering who the "host of stars" that we overlooked are? First you will need to go to school to learn to read then access the article and read it. He lists the names. He also puts it as delicately as possible by suggesting Petracca ahead of McCartin and Bont ahead of Billings m...

Robbo: No-man’s land Saints can’t afford to fluff picks 7 and 8 again

Hi All, Over at The Hun, Robbo has posted an article about how we can't stuff up our FRDPs this year (captain obvious, I know!). Robbo: No-man’s land Saints can’t afford to fluff picks 7 and 8 again The last time the Saints had picks 7 and 8 in the draft, they chose Hunter Clark and Nick Coffield an...

Re: Trust in your players

Our current group of midfield players would certainly know that their performance is below that of the best midfields in the competition. What does it say to the trust in your listed players? What does it say to the effort and performances of the team late in the year? It's like Ross isn't giving hi...

Re: Tactical look at stoppage Q4

I often bemoan how woeful football commentary is. This explanation is gold but probably only scratches the surface of what's going on, on the field. BTW, if you go to the website there's a free pdf available - it's only about ruck setups but still really interesting for those of us trying to underst...

Re: Anthony Caminiti

He was holding his wrist but from what I could see (sitting next to the bench) he poped his shoulder. They did try some overhead work to see if it was OK. However he knew immediately he was gone (the youngen next to me learnt some new words). He was holding his wrist as a way to stop his whole arm ...

Re: Kane Cork Sucker

But he’s right, our ball movement forward to the juggler King is slow and does allow backmen to gang up on him . You see it every game someone marks around forward side of the square and they prop dead and you can see they are waiting for our loose forward whether it’s King or another one to be man...

Cornes is a "sport shock jock" and Lloyd is possibly the least intelligent "football analyst" currently going around, and that's saying something.

Re: Good kicks taking short kicks

I agree. We aren't the only team doing it, but I don't understand why we let teams always do a short kick to a pocket then they work it up the ground. OK we have forced them wide but why not put pressure on them right from the start. A long kick out (not to the opposing ruckman) if not marked force...

Most of these games have followed the same trend of early struggles, and only starting to look dangerous when it was too late, or almost so.
