    from what i remember last week against the kangaroos thats what we tried to do but we got absolutely raped by their tall forwards in the forward 50

    its becoming a bit predictable i think

    It's a very high risk strategy - a good side can potentially break open the defence if it is down there often enough and when that happens it's hard for the side to turn around and regain the momentum and go back to what they were doing to gain their lead earlier in the match. My view is that if you are doing something well in a game and it is working and generating a lead, you should try to keep on doing it (injuries and fitness permitting of course).

    Anyway, we are in a good position to finish 6th now, if we're good enough.

    By my reckoning that should give us a home game against one of the WA sides.
    Doesn't that mean a Sandgroper in Melbourne?

    I thought I was watching a Rodney Eade coached team in that last half - no forwards in our fifty.

    I hope this is just a tactic to hide some deficiency in our side (probably because of poor fitness) and that Roos doesnt keep this up for the rest of his coaching career with us.
