Simply to help Jacob Miller notice things and take over from him from time to time to relieve the pressure on the kid. Like for instance on a last tackle play and Miller is standing over there and Anasta sees an opportunity over here Anasta has the overcall. If Anasta is happy with what Miller has planned on the last tackle then let Miller do it. Don't let Marshall or Farah take the last play option unless it's Farah with an attacking kick close to the line or going for a quick fire 40/20 or Marshall with the wide rolling grubber from about 40 out. This way we either get Miller doing something that an experienced head agrees with or the experienced head does something that teaches the young fella what he should be doing. Miller develops and the Tigers improve last tackle options because of it.
So I think the option should go -
Last play is run. Blair gets back slammed, whatever it is.
Anasta - "Is Milky doing the right thing here? Yes, okay I call Milky to Farah. Is he not? I overcall because I see something better on."
Farah - "Is the kick on, no? Are we in position for Benji's retard kick? No? Do what Braith says."
Then Miller runs the play. If that involves Marshall and Anasta then good, but Miller calls the damn play. The only person that should be overcalling Miller is Anasta imo because he will be smarter about it. Marshall and Farah will overcall him too much and Anasta has huge wraps on Miller and is actually emotionally invested in his development, you can tell by the way he spoke about him during twenties matches last year and he's on record as having been gutted that the Roosters lost Miller years ago. He rates him and will treat him with due respect and having analysed NYC matches last year will understand Miller's capacities better.
You might think I am overrating Anasta a bit but this actually plays to his strength. Which are decision making and experience. Other than that he should just be running wide lines and using his deft hands to trouble edge defenders.
It might be madness to not let Benji have overcall on the last but if Miller thinks that throwing it to Benji is the right play anyway then let him do it. If Anasta's overcall is to throw it to Benji then do it. Just let Anasta be the last word on the last play. Maybe I'm over complicating things but I really think the roles should be clearly defined.
Farah uses the forwards and his own running game to march us upfield (which he is very good at and if he didn't spend so much time play making out in the halves we'd probably win the field position game a lot more). This way Farah is going to naturally link with other players when he sees openings, cool, give him that role during the tackle count.
Marshall looks for opportunities to run the ball during the first five and is the go to on the last if we have a passing play on.
Anasta is an edge running backrower who acts as a surrogate playmaker.
Miller runs the last tackle plays and if Farah sees a backline move on during the first five, Miller runs that too.
I dunno I started to ramble a lot didn't I. Forget me.
