The Three Big IFS in 2013

[supercoach]

Probably stating the obvious but the 2013 season will come down to three things

1–Will the forwards have the ability and the cattle to lay a platform both in attack and in defense

2--Will Miller or who else is given the no7 job be able to perform at the required standard week by week

3--How will Farah and Marshall gell with Anasta, especially as one would imagine Anasta will be makin g a lot of the final tackle calls.

The way I see it, the first two points depend on each other. The no7 needs to direct the forwards and the forwards need to dominate for the no7 to have a chance of being effective

As for Anasta, I think he will be the go to man, but I think for the 1st half of the season its going to be very hit or miss till they get their calls down pat.

My gut feeling the first half of the year is going to be a mighty struggle and their will be the odd player who is given the flick, by the second half of the season things will start to improve and some young talent will start to emerge giving us some real hope for 2014 and beyond

I think Anasta will just play his role. He won't dominate much if at all but I think he'll look to inject himself at stages. I think he'll look to lead the tackle chase all the time, tackle hard and run hard on the fringes.
Miller and Farah will be the ones directing the team around with Benji out wider.

My big question is on the forwards. Heighington got through a lot of work as did Ellis. These 2 will leave holes that need to be filled.

1/ Attitude of all

2/Accountability of all

3/Injuries

If the officials police the ruck the way they say they will, this will be a major influence. Robbie will get the daly m.

i think allan has raised a very good point. our kicks were always bad, no doubt about that.. but our kick chases were REAALLYY poor. hope anasta/potter can solve it.

Couldn't agree more Happy. If the team rolls up its sleeves each week and has a red hot go, and an injury free run, we'll make the 8 for sure.

If thats the case it has to be either a medial ligament strain or a bad PCL tear (Like Benji had )

1\. Potter - will he bring us the defence we need
2\. Benji and farah, and how anasta fits into the scheme
3\. Miller, and living up to the potential
