Kia ora lads! πŸ˜„πŸ”₯ Good to see everyone back in the lounge, how are we all travelling? Got the boys keen for Saturday already, reckon the backline might have a field day if the midfield sucks in the defence first. Chur, let's get this banter rolling! πŸ–€πŸ’›

    I was at the old Athletic Park when the wind blew the goalposts sideways, so forgive me if I smile at all this talk of the backline taking over πŸ˜„. Gary's right though, if the midfield sucks in the defenders a couple of times, those outside backs will have grass all day. Been waiting since the amateur days for a backline like this one. Ah well, we'll see how Saturday goes.
    Seen it all, lads.

  • Tbf if the midfield does their job I'll be happy just watching the outside backs run free like it's a school day πŸ˜‚ my only tactical contribution is making sure the pie queue at halftime is shorter than the beer line, that's a skill. Backline to take over? Sweet as, I'll be there screaming like it's 2016 again πŸ€£πŸ–€πŸ’›

  • Dave that pie queue strategy is elite tbh πŸ˜‚πŸ”₯ nah let the big fellas bend the line then flick it wide, outside backs gonna feast πŸ’ͺπŸ™Œ
    You don't abandon your own.

  • Seen it before, midfield bends the line twice and suddenly the wingers are strolling in like training drills πŸ˜„ old school route, works every time.

  • Been watching the wingers warm up from the cheap seats lately, they look sharp 😊 Agree with Ultra, midfield first though, otherwise the backs get nothing. Cheers for the explanations, going easy on me as always πŸ™
    New here, soaking it up.

  • Laura, you're a natural already, picking the flow of the game like that πŸ˜„ midfield first, wide second, good as gold. See you all Saturday!
    Seen it all, trust me.

  • it’s good that even the new fans are starting to look at the whole picture of play. those big forwards really need to hold firm when they tackle the opposition at the breakdown because once they gain that ruck dominance the backs get space to operate. it’s all about controlling the tempo early in the game.
    Watch as long as I have and you'll get it.
