Yeah I agree. I think Capewell probably meant he doesn't practice taking field goals in real match situations, but I'm sure they take snaps at goal just for fun at the start or end of training. I think that's how Bennett once figured out Kahu was the best field goal option in the team.
Is Oates actually carrying an injury into this game following his try celebration mishap?
No idea. I just think he’s looking like he could use a week off here and there.
Honestly, I'd rather give Cobbo a break instead. Oates has been pretty strong for us in my opinion, and he's finally scoring tries again. Pereira was good in the trials and I wouldn't object if he was named in the team, but I don't think it should be for Oates on current form.
Our left edge has improved heaps. Last year the left was putrid.
I'm going to assume you're saying first 5 rounds of last year.
Idk what has happened with our edges we use to slide real well now we have guys shooting out of the line trying to shut shit down and more often than not it fails
I was curious if it was something they are doing at training few other sides do it with a bit more success
Its an interesting idea, but Oates hasn't been playing that badly. If we we're going to change anything, I'd go:
That seems common in a lot of sports these days. It's pretty easy find some trust building exercises on Google though. But it couldn't be that simple could it?
I'm not sure it is. I've always felt we have players who think they have to come up with a big play all the time instead of sticking to the structures. You seem to find the top sides stick to the structures and game plans, the poor ones dont. I guess its like Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. When we take a punch to the face, we tend to lose our composure and thats why the likes of Capewell and Reynolds are so important. I saw some good signs from Arey last week in terms of that tbf.
