Daniel Anderson wants to speed up the play the ball

[MacDougall]

This is great news for us for obvious reasons.

1\. We won the comp when the ruck was at its fastest
2\. Our forward pack is still the most mobile and Galloway and Woods are the two most cardio fit props in the NRL (aside from maybe Gibbs)
3\. Potter is focusing hugely on fitness in the pre-season so I would be surprised if we aren't the fittest in the comp

So we will win the comp in 2013.

good to see Daniel Anderson doing this.
get rid of the wrestle it is a blight on the game.
quick play the ball, quick metres gained.

You may see it for three weeks…then it'll be back to the grind as something new crops up

I hope we go far away from what weve tried to employ/exploit for the past seven years.....lets try and play the game the way its meant to be played, aggressively, tough...a battle of attrition, thru the forwards....sick of prancing prima donna touch footy style sevens type play inside our own 20m...thats for pussies

Where did you hear this?
Did he explain what steps he will take to make this happen?

In Daniel Anderson we have faith. Maybe he is the one to set things straight. Referees have me shaking my head.

No steps really….he was asked about the wrestle, he said the wrestle is here to stay and maybe they (refs) have to try and simplify things and just penalise players when that tackle is complete and ''held'' has been called

Sounds very simple, too easy almost...I picture cluey savvy coaches finding this a piece of cake to get around and manipulate...as dave said above, if it sounds too good to be true......it usually is.

We can only hope, I have always liked Anderson he seems like a straight shooter and was never properly treated right at parra.

I don't see this being any different. If he doesn't perform quick, he will more than likely be given the boot.

Hopefully he can bring some common sense to the adjudicating side of things!

In an interview with Fox Sports News on Thursday, Anderson indicated that making the ruck quicker in 2013 would be one of his key focuses.
>
"Firstly, I don't think it's the scope of the referees to adjudicate on the wrestle," Anderson said.
>
"I find it difficult with the different techniques employed by defensive coaches, so I wouldn't expect the referees to adjudicate on the wrestle.
>
"But what they can adjudicate on, is the tackle.
>
"Once a player is tackled and on the ground, the rules say the player should be released.
>
"Well, that's what we can adjudicate on: how quickly they release, how they release, get their hand off the ball, and allow the play the ball to commence its process, maybe a little bit quicker."

After last years grand final that was a slugathon their have been plenty of people wanting to get some speed back in the game.After our efforts in 05, all the coaches were screaming that the game was now like oztag and had the game slowed down. Certainly would suit our playing roster

 

[Shooshmeister]

Bring back the speed and limit the interchange to 4, maybe 6\. This would speed the game up for the little fellas. I hate seeing props comoimg off after 20 minutes, well be like the NFL soon and have a defensive and ofensive team!! Quicker play the ball make the game game roll on, a better game for players and spectators alike.
