Based on that performance, I'm pencilling in five wins out of our next 6 games.... :shock:

From the start we initiate one on one contests all over the field and give them all a short (low contact) tap to the nose so they have to go off under the blood rule which counts as an interchange.
We repeat that three more times per player as they rotate back with bandaged noses, meaning they have used up 88 interchanges.

Then we hit them all again meaning they are left with just 2 players on the ground and 20 on the bench looking like cast members from a zombie film.
Those twenty can't come back on as they have used up their 90 interchanges not to mention two kilometres of tape.

If we can really really focus on blowing their 90 IC limit early enough in the game before they score toooo much, then we just have to hope we are good enough to beat the remaining two players (so make sure the two aren't Mitchell and Rioli).
I think we only got Mitchell in the head but the wound stopped bleeding. :evil:


As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Considering I think we won that game we passed it with flying colours.
