Round 24: Dragons vs Gold Coast Titans - 18 August @ 2PM

How good. Hope to see more of it in the future, only recruiting for either elite players or position lacking depth. This should be our blueprint.

If we can recruit or bring through a decent halfback, the future looks bright. A couple of fast outside backs as well.

I also like the idea of kicking it hard and low toward the sideline. Like pretend Hunt is going to do a short dropout to left but then kick it hard and low to the right, aiming for the sideline.

That takes many hours of practice

So practice it for hours. I think you are wrong. Anyone who can dropkick can do it. If it doesn't work out, nothing lost. I'm not saying do it all the time. Just throw in in there from time to time. Mix it up a bit more.

Are you back in Aus yet?

He did the hard yakka

Looked like a forward with those strong carries.

Nope cruising the Croatian coast. If you believe that kicking is easy just watch those professionals who's job is to kick. It's like soccer, some players can curl a ball with the inside of the foot, some outside of the foot and some simply can't. Kicking is a specialist skill. Kicking a rl football is extremely difficult because of the shape of our ball. It takes months if not years to kick the ball exactly where you want it. Trust me, ask others on the forum who have played the game, Kicking is a specialised skill.

He did, but it's those unsung players that put their hand up, make those hard yards especially early in the tackle count that sometimes go noticed and unheralded but believe me not by their own team mates. CT topped the metres followed by Lomax who has been our go to returner, CT ran for 270m, Lomax 193m. He's not an Addo-Carr with speed to burn but the coach has set up our attacking structures aligning them with our strengths, which doesn't involve speed.
