I agree, but what I did post regarding that was factual, yet some on here are attacking me without any evidence I was wrong....and I did state I'd support our KOE team wether it was branded as the Magpies or Wests Tigers. More than anything I was pointing out what Sheens did, and why it might just have irked Western Suburbs Macarthur.
We have had game plans?
How do I say this without hurting someone’s feelings or getting 10 in the bin? The evolutionary process has been slow for some p……s. 😂Got it! Just left off the last word.
On the second time around Galvin was going to be the prime Benji. Sacking the coach not only stopped the process but also encouraged the second Benji to reassess dreams an aspirations.
I loved those scrum plays. Also the ruck speed up. The 1st graders had more than a year to develop the required level of teamwork. No reserve grader playing a different style of footy is going to pick it up in a couple of games. But of course a club with a record 18 spoons knows better than one with only 3.
He was quick in the first half of his career kids following NRL were copying his sidestep for years lot of gloom on here for Benji at times B hope he succeeds going forward coaching tragedy if a club legend fails.
In my mind, the closest playing style I’ve seen to Benji’s is Luai’s. The stand out (comparison wise) is the repetitive left foot step and the slick passing. You’re right about Galvin, there’s more physicality in his tackle evasion, more forceful contact. Like you would see from a back rower. No way was I comparing playing styles, rather the skills involved to fit in with a teams playing styles. I still think Benji could have been better utilised if the rest of the team knew what he was doing at least half the time.
His admiration for Benji probably a big reason he came across T, do think Galvan may end up in the forwards eventually just had another growth spurt if he fills out may be too big for 5/8.
The key to paying unstructured footy is structure. I know it sounds like gibber but players, outside of the unstructured playmakers, need to run lines and be in postions so the Benjis, Munsters and Luais of the world know where to hit once they have done their thing. If the side has no structure it just becomes a mess of headless chooks.
Well there is a legitimate reason. It may not be the logical one or the one that most people on here agree with. And the reason is because what was agreed upon by both clubs at the time of the joint venture starting. It was written in to the agreement that both foundation clubs would continue to exist at the level immediately below NRL. You mightn't like it but its legitimate.
While legitimate we are 25 years on from that decision and we need to move with the times otherwise we will continue to be stuck in 1999. While it was a great party at the end of that year and that century 1999 is in the 20th Century. We need a 21st Century approach to support the strategy that we have embarked upon.
Team playbook calls so inside and outside knows what you are about to do?
Well regardless of what sort of reasoning produced that outcome it's fair to say that it doesn't suit present day circumstances. Both parties should realise this after 25 years?
Possibly,, but I don't think the Benjis and Munsters of the world know what they are going to do. They react to what they see and they know that they will have support or be able to hit a runner in different parts of the field so they just react and then the support picks them up. As far as a playbook- maybe two up for a Munster on the left post? 🤣
