What would be the best game plan be to go up against a team that hasn't scored a point since probably Anzac day….. I really hope our forwards are let off the leash when it comes to offloads on Saturday arvo. Because I think the winning team will be the one who takes more chances with the ball.
Game plan???

I agree, and for goodness sake, no conceding points in 5 min period before and 5 min straight after halftime :blush: :bulb: :deadhorse:

Attack: three hit-ups by the wingers and fullback, followed by two from forwards, then bomb from the 40m which chasers (optional) can't get close to.
Defence: attempted intercepts, centres defending blatant decoy runners at least three in leaving winger defending minimum two man overlap.
Injuries: one during warm-up and another shortly after kick-off, move Lovett to centre.
Post game: Taylor talks about the positives.
Repeat: next week.

My thinking would be try and blow them away early
With their mindset , if you could get to early 12 -18 point lead they might just toss the towel mentally

Spend the week at training talking about how bad the knights are. Turn up overconfident, do not put in, suddenly find yourself under pressure against a side that you expected to beat. Watch a side turn up after a 60 point drubbing (like you did) and end up in a battle down to the wire and try to scrape home
Score more points than them..

The game plan? to get a game plan and follow through with it….........whatever it is
Maybe get stuck into them at every opportunity until game time.
It is the attitude and mindset. These are the games that we traditionally get beat in because we take teams below us lightly. They beat us every time because of it.
It is about time this team took these games as a Grand Final and stop expecting these teams to gift us a win.

Let them get out to a 12 point lead (second try coming 3 mins from the break) then score two quick tries but fail to convert them. Then get a mountain of possession but fail to convert it into points. Then let the Knights ice the win with a soft try with 5 mins to go.
Then pat yourselves on the back because it was kinda close

I think we should keep it really simple this week.
1\. Catch the ball. For beginners, 2 hands are required and I think this practice should be embraced. Don't grab at the ball, just let it come to you and don't take your eyes off it until it's safely in your grasp.
2\. Run the ball. The universal agreement here is to run towards the opposition try line. This is easier said then done as the opposition will try to halt your progress but just keep telling yourself…a meter made now is one less my mates have to make!
3\. Passing. Passing the ball simply means delivering it from your hands, in a backward motion to your team mates hands...preferably without it touching the ground. There are many ways to accomplish this but keep it as simple as possible otherwise your team mate may not catch it which means you can not score.
4\. Score tries. The idea of running towards the opposition try line is to place the ball on the other side of it. Again two hands for beginners is the motto here but be aware that there are several ways to accomplish this. If someone kicks the ball high into the air, you are encouraged to chase it, catch it using lesson 1 and place it over the try line. If the ball has been kicked along the ground, same principles apply...be careful though as a bouncing ball is unpredictable!!! Lastly you can just run the ball through the defensive line, or even around it and place it as described earlier. You have freedom of choice as how to do this...just have fun.
5\. Defend. When you are without the ball you must stop the opposition from running to their targeted try line and placing the ball on the other side of it. This is not easy but can be achieved by concentrating on not missing the player with the ball. You can tackle him anywhere from the ankles to the shoulders but be careful as if your arm hits his head you will be in trouble! It is suggested that if you see your team mate struggling to stop his opposite player then you should help him...being careful that the opposition isn't tricking you to come in then passing the ball to your outside...some are naughty like this.
6\. Discipline. By this we mean do not break the rules. Listen to the referee as he knows everything about the game and isn't just there to police the rules...but also to aid you in understanding them. Obey his commands and there will be no problem.
Those are the fundamentals. If we do a good job in these areas we should beat the worst side in the comp.
Cheers.
