Defence wins championships, and only defence will beat the cowboys. Remove time and space from them and pin them in their 20. Maintain discipline and let them figure out plan b (which they aren’t great at doing)
All we need to build is the Wall of Wahs and not give them a sniff. We are good enough to take our opportunities when they come up and if we give them nothing we are a hot chance of winning this game.
To me this game is critical to cement ourselves in the top 3 and take another giant step towards finals footie.
Our big guns come back in a week or so and winning this will do wonders for our confidence for when
JFH and
DWZ likely come back next week.
The cows are a momentum team. Strangle them and cut off their air and they will soon run out of ideas. Titans had them last week before they imploded - and the cows were good enough to rub salt into the wound by racking up a cricket score in the second half (38 points?!)
The question is can we maintain the control and discipline we have showed? I hope so.
Match of the round but I reckon we get it done on the back of massive ‘home’ support.
Let’s hope we learned from the Vegas trip and don’t choke on the big stage again.
