CV will have emphasised the criticality of not being opened up by a high press, which we conspicuously were in the previous 2 matches against CCM. They just absorbed everything that we threw at them - and, it must be said, rode their luck a bit too - and then flew at us on the counter and prospered. I suspect that we will be a little more circumspect in running forward this time; maybe more of a possession game from us.

I think that this will be like the Phoenix match; as long as we score first, we'll be fine, but if they score first, we're in trouble. We have to head to the Central Coast next weekend with a win in our pocket, to force them to play an open, risky plan, which they do not want to do against the best running side in the league.

cracking autumnal day in Adelaide, limited seats available… hopefully we get a bigger crowd than last night’s game (15,322)

[RedTide]

Theoretically then Coopers could have a larger crowd this evening than the Sadney/MC Petrodollars match last night ...

Should be a much tighter game than form suggest. The 4-0 defeat in Gosford was down to Carl’s inexperience as a coach. Failing to organise the team and subs after Isaias’s red card. We conceded three goals in ten minutes. The 4-1 defeat at Coopers was down to missing too many key players and wing backs caught out of position. Simple, sort out those issues and it’s a 3-0 to us.

Nerves and excitement have kicked in.

Taking a lead to Gosford next week will be important.

The boys can do it.

COYR!!!

So looking forward to it.
Big game. Big crowd. Hopefully a big result.
Nerves kicking in as I get ready to go grab my shirt & scarf & head out the door.
