Playing conservative will not win this game. We need to throw everything at them & it either works, or at least we had a crack.
With no centre options, we are forced to probably to move capes to centre.
Leka to start, ford to come in.
Laban in for tanner if he’s available.
Probably is our only option but Capewell to centre is as conservative a move as it gets, and id also argue a spine containing
CHT and
CNK doesnt really scream a team thats ever aiming to go "all out attack",
I mean id love if we possessed the players where we could play the expansive game and have points of attack all over the park.....but we simply dont.
Definitely going to be the unpopular view but imo our best chance (as it is in any team) is to play to our strenghts.....which means playing the most boring grindiest game we can......but it has to be the near perfect game in the areas we've let ourselves down lately
- needing probably a 90% completion rate
- fixing our discipline so were not giving away the constant piggy back penalties
- winning the territory battle
For me these areas are far more achievable given the make up of our squad (albeit a massive improvement will still be needed....and even then it may not be enough) as opposed to this near mythical belief that we can play like we have
Reece Walsh, Farnsworth, Hammer like qualities in our line up.
As everyone is saying, nothing to lose. So why not try to be perfect in the areas we've been trying to be perfect all season. As i said tho, it'll be the unpopular version and id imagine
Webby will get stick regardless what philosiphy he runs with and we lose..
