Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

All this talk about better to have great attack over defence ? One being defence leads to the other . Above all else we need line speed and a pack that busts the line then with quick play the ball the opposition can regather their line quick enough . What we can't have is Raiders and Roosters( by way of example ) packs catching a kick off on their own line and travelling 70 -80 m in 5 tackles
However tries lead to extra sets and possession dominance .as does completions like when we shocked rabbits and eels rds 6 &7 we had an incredible 95% completion and our backline took advantage
 
Teddy basically plays the same at the Chooks that he did at the tigers. The big difference is he is surrounded by quality at the Chooks unlike his time at the Tigers. The Chooks also got him at the height of his career, we had him on the way up with still a few levels to travel
I agree and that's what I always say to people - Tedesco became the Origin fullback in his second-last season at Tigers.
 
In regards to Sheens wanting to focus on attack:

There were SEVERAL games over the last few years where our players did not seem to be enjoying themselves. Losing, and getting 'beaten', has that effect.

The last 3 coaches the Tigers ran out were all quoted as focused on improving our defence- Taylor, Cleary & Maguire.

The result is that while we tried to improve the defence, our attack went backwards at an alarming rate.

One thing that throwing the ball around does- it improves the fun factor. Would you rather be in a team that is throwing the ball about? Or in the team with 5 hit ups & a kick?

The Sheens attack orientation might have just as much to do with building morale & enthusiasm as it does 'doing something different'.
 
Just read somewhere that Patrick Carrigan’s management have contacted Brisbane to try get an upgrade of around 100k on his current deal due to his rep rise for both QLD and AUS

if they budge or hesitae - I’d throw the kitchen sink at him….. would look good as our new 13 and is a very good player
