Wow what a poo team we had in 2010
QuoteI want to go with a 7/7/4 formation to start.Backs:Sweeper: Grimes Mops: Morris, HouliHeight: Chaplin, RanceRunning height: Martin, DeledioMids:Ruck: MaricInside/outside: Cotchin, Foley, ConcaInside/outside defensive: EllisOutside defensive: JacksonOutside: GriggForwards:Tall: Riewoldt, A. Edwards, VickerySmall: S. EdwardsBench: King, Tuck, KnightsSub: NahasThis is a glamour backline. If our young mids can get heat on the opposition clearances our backline will destroy them on the counter. If the bad guys hard tag Deledio Martin will get 40 touches. If they hard tag them both Morris and Houli will run riot.For the first time since 2001 we can have a backline full of hurt. Morris, Houli - 60m players. Deledio - 70m. Martin - 80m player. This is hurt.When we get the clearance (Chimpa might get a few of them) we have to hit the target. If we do we will score. If we don't we can still kill them on the counter if our mids apply heat. Our lack of pace here can hurt us but our glamour and pace in defence will offset that.If Vickery can't handle the #3 forward job with change ruck duties we have to develop Elton or recruit a replacement. But I think TV will bloom in 2013. He is crucial.When I look at this side there are a few obvious weaknesses. First the #2 forward A. Edwards is demonstrably not a premiership player in the role. And his history shows that his form fades as the season wears on. Good. I expect him to play twelve to fifteen rounds in the role then be replaced. Probably by an improving Vickery, or less likely by Elton or Griffiths coming through. If Vickery can take more ruck duties Ivan can play #1 forward freeing the #3 role to Knights, maybe PetTurd or even the resting Chimpa. Secondly Grimes. He's a budding champion with the dodgiest strings in legend. When Dimma says that he wants Flosstone to play round one he's saying we can't win the premiership in 2013. IMO he's aiming too low if Grimes is right. But Grimes may not come up. Ouch.Thirdly Foley may not return to his best. Maybe we should let Foley play as the other mop and put Houli out to pasture. Half fit, Foley would be an awesome mop. (Less turning for the ankles, eh.)Last, a lot of responsibility falls to third and second year players Conca and Ellis in the midfield. Maybe they go on in 2013, maybe they go on in 2014. Maybe they never do. But Chimp will go on. And when we find others who can support him we will.http://www.puntroadend.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=47417.210
