DaveO we are in 4th place after an poor season start with no real pack!!! The wire game will show us if we stand a chance of the finals but out very thin pack has stood up to the plate in recent weeks.
Having a small pack need not be debilitating if you get your tactics right. If you play small props like big props then you will come unstuck. The way to play small packs vs big packs is keep the ball moving and in play, kick early to turn the bigger packs around and use your smaller forwards wisely. Farrell is a great example of how to play in the pack as a smaller forward, he never runs at people he runs lines to cut through the defence.Caboosegg wrote: ↑Tue Aug 06, 2019 11:41 amDaveO we are in 4th place after an poor season start with no real pack!!!
