Some thoughts on how we win and what we have to stop. Let's smash them
  • Destroy the middle. Rotate Haas and Carrigan and keep their minutes below 70 each. It’s tempting but we cannot play both Haas/Carrigan for full halves (look at our round 9 and 23 games). Willison back is perfect to keep Haas into a more high impact role
  • Run at Grant
  • The double Piakura/Shiba decoy shape on should be effective, but be more willing to play short for Piakura. Isolates Hughes and will generate quick PTBs.
  • Piakura quick PTBs into short-side raid with Walsh
  • Bomb Warbrick in yardage. Paps and Coates are both smashable on next play. Paps should be ragdolled all game and Coates PCM are overrated
  • Not overforcing 40/20 attempts, especially early in tackle count
  • Deception from Hunt at 9 is fine, but also needs to just rifle the ball off the ground at times
What we must limit Storm from doing
  • Utoikamanu quick ptbs allowing Grant to run
  • Bombing for Coates, Warbrick & Katoa
  • Munster grubbering behind Staggs. Should just gamble with trapping instead of conceding like Raiders game
  • I am confident that Storm's run shapes won't trouble our defence, except for shape they run with Katoa ballplaying. Katoa initiating sucks in outside defenders, and his passing can get Meaney outside Shibasaki
  • Tiring out Piakura and exploiting our left edge. Both Panther tries last week were partly because Piakura couldn’t get to 4in
  • Shutting down our yardage patterns (Staggs dummy half run, Shibasaki blindside on tackle 2)
  • Slowing down the ruck and cheating

Don't worry Madge plans to give him a motivation speech before the game.
"Listen here, you take that ****ing head gear off and I'll walk out there and mess up that pretty face of yours"
 
Im nervous about the Storm wingers, not just in attack on the kicks, but also their up and in defence.

I think their gameplan is jamming up on the centre (rather than the fullback), and if they want to go the winger then they use their height to bat it down or intercept... so it allows them to defend two players at once... and it is risky on the passer, because the centre is lined up to get belted and drop it OR there's a real chance of an intercept... so it's hard for the fullback to make the decision.

A highlight popped up of the try Walsh setup against the cows in the sets after he was intercepted.

The winger was up in the line trying to jam on the centre, Walsh dummies to the winger, which stalled the defender... he then gets outside the defending centre and offloads to Shiba who has clear air in front of him.

Im hoping Walsh remembers that for the GF.

The storm centres are the ones to attack, but the wingers look to protect them by jamming on their opposite.

I feel like storm may try to jam on Reece instead of the centre, but if that's not their gameplan, then get in the line and get behind the winger to release the centre
